PTB. Squid is a prolific poster, but seems to take things personally very quickly.

If you're going to abuse your powers, you should do so by abstract principles, like whether or not a commenter likes pineapple on their pizza, not how they react towards you!

And Lemmy has an issue with it's backend implementation which sometimes causes multiple copies of a comment being posted without the posters knowledge.

It then gets flagged as spam and the poster banned. Ask me how I know.

I searched for the issue when it happened to me and saw a bug report for it with the Lemmy devs confirming.

As someone who implement a Lemmy client it might be a client side problem. If the server is struggling you will time out when sending the comment. If the client side has any sort of retry logic it will send the comment again. This can cause the comment to be posted multiple times. There might be a bug on the server as well but I know for sure it can be caused by the client.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's what you are describing, and it's not a client problem. It's impossible for a client to solve. You can't tell whether a timed out request succeeded or not.

Idempotent network requests are a standard feature of many APIs - sending the same request multiple times should result in only one action being performed, but Lemmy doesn't support them yet.

So yes, it's "caused" by retries, but the bug is that the backend doesn't properly support retries. Clients don't do anything wrong.

Is that person a mod? I blocked them and my lemmy experience has been way better.

CLM - sounds like @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world needs to understand the tools a bit more given how active they are.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 29 points 1 week ago

FlyingSquid needs to be booted from everything they mod.

Turns out I've blocked this user already. Are they a mod?

[-] ensignboilmer@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

Apparently so? They’re terminally online so it’s disappointing they don’t understand Lemmy better. Had it been almost any other user I wouldn’t have recognized the name at all.

PTB, (or maybe just "clueless bastard"?): Ye publicly outing your report because they don't understand lemmy is pretty bad.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

PTB, publicly outing reports and trying to intimidate them is not cool, if you want to discuss someone's reports with them, do it in their DMs.

Also here's a tip for any admin or mod wishing to discuss the report with someone. Quote the report you're addressing. I can't see my own reports, so if an admin or mod wanted to discuss the last reports I made, it's possible I would have to think really hard to remember what he was talking about, or just flat out not remember. Because I do make a lot of reports, unfortunately, as there is a lot of problematic content and users out there.

Edit: I did make an issue in the Lemmy GitHub requesting this feature, so if you agree that this could be useful I suggest you go express the desire for such a feature over there. I included being able to edit and delete reports, but if that's too much at least the ability to read my own reports I've sent.

Example of a DM that a Mod or admin could use to address reports with someone

Text from report

(can include multiple reports here with gaps between them as needed)

[content of their message addressing the report to the user]

Silence! You dare question a mod of my abilities? Banned!

[-] Old_Yharnam@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

You jest, but many mods do actually have this mindset. It’s unreal

In my experience, mods in general have gotten extremely bad. Lemmy, reddit, basically all social media is being moderated without the least amount of professionality, standard or competency.

[-] lath@lemmy.world 64 points 1 week ago

That's because professionality, standard and competency take time to foster and cost a lot to maintain.

[-] derpgon@programming.dev 49 points 1 week ago

And usually get paid nothing.

The good thing is that on the fediverse, you can improve this situation. Either go to an instance that keeps a watchful eye on power tripping mods and ensure mods are fair, or start your own instance to become that.

Squid can be a little quirky like that sometimes.

[-] waz@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Sometimes? They are the only person I have ever blocked in all of my years on both reddit or lemmy. Such an odd combination of self importance, rage, entitlement and ego.

I'd almost forgotten about them until they showed up in a screenshot for being exactly how I remember.

FlyingSquid flaunts his mod powers and bans users which don't submit to his Zionist world views by making shit up.

Lemmy.World is the most Reddit of Lemmies.

They allow dis- & misinformation on a news community and threaten you when you report even the most obvious Tankie propaganda, which is why I blocked it. Not the only dumb take I've seen from them.

[-] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 18 points 1 week ago

The called out mod specifically is the worst culprit. I guarantee if their mod privileges were revoked 85% of the bad rep .world gets would vanish.

I've been threatened/banned for calling out propaganda too

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

You should reach out to lemmy.world's admins about the situation, explain the problem to them and they might be able to help with it. I'd recommend doing the same thing any time an issue comes up around this particular mod. Eventually they'll get enough complaints and he'll be given the boot from those communities by the administration.

I'm so glad I finally made an account so I can block that particular reddit-type user. Might have to bounce instances based on how this goes.

[-] saroh@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

No response :x

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Why is it whenever I notice a mod, or see anyone complain about a mod, it's always the exact same mod?

Are all Lemmy mods chill except this singular prickly tranch?

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.
