Tankies gunna tank I guess lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One thing I don’t like over here on Lemmy is that when a mod action happens against you you don’t get a notification of any kind. So unless you check the mod logs you’ll typically never know something happened.
NGL I’m half tempted to make a bot that crawls the mod logs to tell people when something happens to their posts or comments.

It’s already been requested as a feature request, see https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4572

Presumably it’d interfere with .ml etc censoring dissenting (i.e. sane) opinions, which is why it’s not happening. Same as how instance blocking was like pulling teeth

Maybe there’s no good answer 'cause I’m on an app, but how do you even check the modlogs.
- Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) English8•2 months ago
On the sidebar of every community in lemmy-ui is a link to the modlog. For example, here’s a screenshot of this community’s sidebar:
Unfortunately on Jerboa I couldn’t find any way to get to the modlog. Don’t know about other apps.
You can also navigate to /modlog on your instance. e.g. https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog. Unfortunately it’s not very easy to use, and it’s not always clear. For example, when I loaded the page, one entry I saw said “mod Banned @TransFormer78@startrek.website”. Which mod? Why, what did they do? Where have they been banned from?
Another entry when I look at the modlog from my instance says “mod Banned Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com from the community News@lemmy.world reason: advocating assassination expires: 4 days ago”. Mostly great, I know who was banned and from where and why. I still don’t know who did it, but whatever. The only catch? The ban was issued 2 hours ago. Issued 2 hours ago but expired 4 days ago? Huh?
I’m glad it exists, but I rarely look at it. It’s just not practical to use most of the time.

Ah, thanks!
I’m on Sync and I don’t see any convenient way of looking at it either. This info does help a lot, though.
- Gormadt ( @Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•2 months ago
Unfortunately I’ve yet to find an app that makes getting to the modlog easy so the only option I’ve found is to open my phone’s web browser and check it that way.
At least Lemmy works better on mobile than a lot of other sites

Why are ya posting about this here tho?
A warning I guess. I didn’t realize some of the communities were on .ml, which is the devs “flagship” instance so they ban people for saying stuff like “tankies gunna tank”.
- I'm back on my BS 🤪 ( @BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place ) English6•2 months ago
Why not just stay away from lemmy.ml then? You can start the same communities on another instance. It would be like me going to a Nazi instance and pointing out that they ban anyone that celebrates diversity. Like, yeah… that’s what they do. It’s in their ethos.

- shininghero ( @shininghero@pawb.social ) 7•2 months ago
You technically can. The issue is that when the average Joe sees five instances of the community they’re looking for, and the highest users/month stat is on .ml, they’ll post there for the most traction. And the problem just self-reinforces from there.
- YeetPics ( @YeetPics@mander.xyz ) 2•2 months ago
The mods are ensuring people stay away from .ml
Have you earned your ban of honor yet?
- Asudox ( @Asudox@ani.social ) Deutsch0•2 months ago
It’s best to just block the lemmy.ml instance.
- Lumu ( @Lumu@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 0•2 months ago
Can you block instances? I never figured out how but that would be super useful.
- Asudox ( @Asudox@ani.social ) Deutsch1•2 months ago
Yeah, since v0.19.0.
You basically never see anything that comes from lemmy.ml. Some instances like hexbear are worthy of being blocked by everyone. Though afaik most instances with sane admins have already long defederated with them so yeah.
- YeetPics ( @YeetPics@mander.xyz ) 12•2 months ago
I also got banned from all the .ml stuff.
It’s a badge of honor.
Here my comment that triggered their mod:
- lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) 9•2 months ago
That’s an incredibly stupid comment though, but congratulations I guess.
- boonhet ( @boonhet@lemm.ee ) 8•2 months ago
Ah, reminds me of the ol’ “How quickly can you get banned from /r/sino?” challenge
Took me one comment and it was a very reasonable one that didn’t bash China even. It was something about decentralizing manufacturing being good because it’s not great that all the world depends on one country to make everything.
- DragonTypeWyvern ( @DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ) 3•2 months ago
So you went into a vegan community or what?
- uis ( @uis@lemm.ee ) 2•2 months ago
Vegans are very wierd, but anti-gmo vegans have mental health problems.
- DragonTypeWyvern ( @DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ) 1•2 months ago
I don’t think “ignorance” is in the DSM
- AVincentInSpace ( @AVincentInSpace@pawb.social ) English11•2 months ago
i just looked at ml’s modlog to see what comment got you banned and it was “Tankies gonna tank.”
While I was there I saw someone talking about how they thought AI art was acceptable if someone doesn’t have the spare time or money to dedicate time to getting good at art so that they can make a game people won’t reject because the art is ugly, and had an entire thread worth of comments with several paragraphs each pulled and burned because they disagreed with the moderators
- Guntrigger ( @Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz ) 7•2 months ago
What/where is this view?
It’s the modlog for the .ml instance.
- SoleInvictus ( @SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 5•2 months ago
Uhhh… Wait a minute. You got banned over the comment about Turkey potentially coming to Palestine’s aid?
Not exactly, it was reply to a reply that was pointing out the unsound logic of another user saying Russia will invade Turkey if Turkey invades Israel or something like that. It was basically a satellite comment affirming that users position of how stupid that is.
- SoleInvictus ( @SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 6•2 months ago
Yowza, getting banned for that is ridiculous.
Yeah, it was pretty surprising but I’m still proud to be banned from an authoritarian-fascist lemmy instance.

When people on Lemmy.ml say their communities core values are different from lemmygrad.ml they look like total fucking roobs given who runs both instances (HINT: its the Lemmy core devs for both)
