Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

We all make mistakes,

If your comment is reported, and brings up a complex issue, we will reach out to you and ask you to rephrase it.

Our goal, is to create a serene space for discussion. Nothing more.

If the post isn't edited to remove hurtful language element, we will have to remove it. It would be a shame because your comment was interesting and you took some time to write it.

In case of xenophobia, racism, transphobia, homophobia or harassment, it will be a permanent ban.

It has happened several times already: I notice that a comment or post of mine got deleted, or that I'm banned from a community or even whole instance (It's probably my profile pic). So I try to find why and when that happened by looking at the modlog of both my own instance and the instance where "it" happened. Also the community modlog. Entering my username@instance.

Some of the things I really need to know is if a ban is instance-wide or community-wide, permanent or temporary... or if it's indeed a ban and not some other glitch.

And I never get an answer.

Usually I get some older log entries, so I know I'm doing this correctly.

Is this just a "feature" of the fediverse: completely opaque mod actions? Or am I missing something?

Does it work better on Lemmy? Apparently not since the originating instance usually runs on Lemmy.

Or Kbin?

In the long run, this becomes a serious problem for me.

Ideally, I'd love to get a notification every time some mod/automod/admin takes some action against me. Just saying.

Theoretically everything should be in the modlog. It's quite buggy though.

Often if you go to the modlog of the instance that banned you there will be something interesting there. Or on lemmy.world, sometimes - they get all the federation traffic. e.g. https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=20312173

I don't see much activity for you, though. Odd.

You mean I might find something there even if it happened on another instance?
That's a good tip.
But the result is the same: something that happened months ago, nothing more.

Do you have some more recent example?
