I cannot repost what Flying Squid was posting here, because it involved highly disturbing and dangerous content, including:
Content Warning
Graphic content, harassment, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, which I reported immediately.
While this behavior is shocking, it’s not completely out of left field, as members of this community and platform will already be familiar with their behavior. Flying Squid has long been regarded as one of the least productive and most problematic mods on all of Lemmy, often picking fights and abusing their mod privileges. I view this change as a positive step for Squid, .world, and Lemmy as a whole.
Looked up the modlogs. What the actual fuck.
That said, this whole episode and the comment deletions with the "we can't share this" reasons kinda show how Lemmy is better than Reddit in that modlogs are public.
I find it great that mods can't outright delete stuff, only hide it. It lets them do the job of cleaning up convos of spam and trolls without the unchecked power aspect to it.
Am I crazy or is the modlog missing heaps?
I control-f for the 'I to complain?' part of the post above and don't see anything. Just trying to follow the argument is confusing as hell? It sounds like someone doxxed FS, and he got suicidal over it? I hope gets some help if he's seriously feeling like that.
The modlog, as far as I can tell, gets sorted in the same order as user profiles do, by default. Which is to say "here's some recent stuff okay let's skip over some stuff hey here's some random stuff from two months ago that's pretty good right? I have been drinking FYI."
I could be wrong about this. I definitely feel like I have seen it be missing stuff even without mod purges though. Searching for the specific community or specific user / moderator you're looking for is usually pretty reliable, as long as there aren't pages and pages of results, then the same issue seems like it might occur.
Yeah, admins can purge stuff from the mod log. That comment seems to be completely gone.
that comment specifically was a link to a graphic image, so yes the admins certainly purged that. cc @Deceptichum@quokk.au
Ah interesting, I’m curious as to what it was now.
i saw it XD here let me telepathy it to you bzzzzzt
Wow that's fucked up, was the zebra consenting?
It's not really a black or white issue.
People over at .world def purged stuff from mod log regarding me. Granted I wasn't suicidal, so not very important, but they still purged some stuff. They definitely wanted to paint a particular narrative of me.
They say they banned me for abusive PM's. But I haven't seen any evidence of those PM's or what they considered "abusive." Even after I asked them to publish these "abusive emails" for everyone to see.
So yeah, they definitely can make up shit on their own over there.
Having said that, sounds like both people involved in this interchange need help. Why the fuck do people take shit on Lemmy so seriously?!
We all believe you, monk
🙄
Some things are true whether you believe them or not.
If you ever find proof of "harassing" DM's that I sent, please post for us all to see. Because that was the supposed reason for my banning and when I ask about it, all I get is "That's private, we don't share private information."
Seems easy enough to block out the "private" part and show screencaps of what I said that would be deemed "harassing." tho.
Face it, the reason I was banned was because people thought I was a troll because I didn't vote for the Biden/Harris train and voted socialist. Now it's ok to bitch about Biden/Harris. And in fact, lots do now. But 3 months ago, it was viewed differently.
Feel free to take a look: https://lemmyusa.com/post/sh.itjust.works/26969318
Still proud of what I did and what I said. And very very happy that I didn't vote for Harris in the election. :)
And the banning did nothing, I just switched to better and less censorship-happy instances. So all good.
And people are still trying to ban me from other instances. LMAO But it didn't work: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31017252
Thanks, friend! Proof that people are still trying as of just last week (it failed and the admins in question rightly stood up for me and refused to bow down to the witchhunt):
I know who you are, monk. Ive interacted with you before. I don't care what you have to say, to be frank. You're a troll and you know it.
I know. Glad you admitted it rather than imply that I was lying.
Nope. Posting things you don't like doesn't make me a troll. And I'm still glad I voted third-party. Funny how lots more are advocating for third-party now, huh? When I did it, I was accused of being a troll. Hmmm, my my my, how things change once the truth comes out.
I'm still here, no matter how much you all tried to censor me. Because the fediverse is awesome and celebrates diversity of thought.
And I hope that the squid guy in question, who I don't agree with most of the time, realizes that Lemmy shouldn't be taken so seriously. Hopefully, he steps back a bit and heals.
Thanks, friend! :)
