I swear, every time most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.
They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I’d like to try exposing them before responding and interacting…
I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I’ve started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they’re burner bot loser accounts.
I guess i just want to say I’ve noticed it!
This is so fucking good. I was so sick of shadowbans and not knowing what went down on reddit.
Only banned once because i supported ukraine to much, doing pretty good.
Guess that was probably on an lemmy.ml community?
My only complaint with the modlog is that it doesn’t say which moderator performed the action. It just says “mod”, so there’s no way for a community to make sure particular mods aren’t just going rogue.
Also, certain instances have definitely started to selectively federate mod logs for whatever reason. .ml being the worst offender. It’s a good idea in theory, but it’s already being abused.
