Hello everyone,
This is kind of a meta discussion, so if it doesn’t fit the community, let me know and I’ll crosspost it somewhere else.
There has been occurrences of people making broad statements against instances, communities, mods or admins. As Lemmy’s recent versions (0.19.7 I think) allow to see someone’s moderation history in a click (see below), I tend to use it from time to time, especially when the person is targeting admins or not that are known to be level-headed and consistent.
If the modlog shows that this person is indeed known to be toxic or arguing in bad faith, I would then post something like “heavy modlog” with a link to the user’s modlog.
It seems like this behaviour could be considered harassment by some people. On the other hand, it allows people to identify directly if that person is arguing in bad faith, the same way very new accounts get regularly called out on their account age.
What do you think?
Good point, that’s usually what I instinctively try to look at. Banned from a football due to polite support of their own team? Ok. Several pages of abuse against 15 communities? Not so good.
Banned from .ml for calling out tankies?
10 points to Gryffindor!
Yes, but this becomes difficult to parse. The UI should be optimally be crunching that data for you.
There are a lot of things were the UI is subpar 😅
Ye, I’m using Tesseract myself. I’m hoping some other devs can step up. The T dev is actually pretty good at onboarding new ideas like that.
Well now u have to start making value judgements on moderation actions. And that sounds like a whole new can of worms
Nah, we can get at least a general vibe through sheer quantity
