It seems the moderators have stopped participating in Lemmy. The last modlog was 4 months ago.

@[email protected] has no activity for 2 years and @[email protected] has no activity for 5 months.

Thanks

Been getting slow loads and timeouts all morning. Figure it will probably resolve on its own. Didn't see any reports. Running Jerboa 0.0.77-gplay.

Follow-up to post in [email protected]: https://sh.itjust.works/post/33049767

Moderator of /c/nootropics has been inactive for 2 years. I'd like to request to moderate and promote this community. Thank you for your consideration!

Edit: The requested community is [email protected].

The only mod on the community has been inactive for almost 2 years and I strongly believe I can breathe new life into this abandoned community and help it grow. Thank you for your consideration!

Just fyi. Notice the bits circled/squared in green. I assume it probably wouldn't have done anything to click "Yes," "Purge," etc...but I miraculously did not. Let me know if I should click them all next time, because I already kind of regret it. I'll have this place cleaned up in no time.

Before I begin, this is a genuine question for the help desk. All of it is relevant. My experience with help desks brings me to fear this is going to be removed, but I have enough faith in its fairness to try.

So first of all, hi. The fediverse is more confusing than I thought it would be. I am from ML (first comment there right now confirms it, also I previously mentioned we were the same on a message about dueling, which sparked this whole situation in the first place) but was told by an admin to register a WTF in order to post some things because of how much was invisible from ML (not because I was banned from any instance but just because potentially anything can affect something's visibility) and because I needed to post here after I was mentioned. I was mentioned in an anti-troll message as "an alt of shinigamiookamiryuu", which is false, as shown by the fact I am clearly not banned from ML like she is (and yes, she is a she, I even have documentation of actual voice chats and even video chats to prove it, not the ones that aren't of her. And no she is not some warlock-looking person whose picture was taken and brightened by people trying to expose her, she has a picture with big bold letters confirming it's her that predates the first picture which was a Halloween prop commissioned to a friend who could do silhouette stock clipart. And that individual had her picture taken again and was confirmed to be a woman but then was misgendered anyways in another famous feud, showing those who diagnose gender are BS.). If I sound like her, it's because we commission messages and parts of messages stuff for each other, which isn't uncommon on here either, cough cough Blaze cough cough Cheese Greater cough cough Drag cough cough, sorry my throat caught a bone.

I'm allowing myself to go on that tangent because one of the two reasons I came here to this help desk today because I would like to ask what can be done about that faux anti-troll message and all the other ones across different names that mention me, because of all the associations it puts together (e.g. if me = someone = nazi, it would mean me = nazi, and that's false). It attacks me (and by extension my projects) though it spreads false rumors about a number of us (dare I bring up people allow that to ignite fury in ourselves, other members, and even eyes-bigger-than-stomach admins when the rest of us are asked to standby by others). I can't really see why, as VPNs work in the fediverse like jedi mind tricks work on Watto, so I should be able to confirm (to all but the few people who are unaffected and seem fed up by the constant hounding, as well as the admins who express disagreement (as well as confirm through not wanting to ban Leni that she is legit and not some impostor of any kind; i.e. she and her supposed achievements were vetted) with the masses who are still sour even when the subject yields) that I'm not an alt of someone who was banned from ML. I'm not even a Republican, a feat considering they're half the nation, whether or not someone is going to argue I only have to specify that due to it not being a bipartisan issue. Unlike the Luigi issue (which she is trying to curb in the community, as per community Rule Six and as per the TOS, as most of us would do if we came across Axis-Power-inspired hate speech), which should be cracked down on if even those who say they're all for free speech are cracking down on anything remotely related to Musk. I am 100% Social Democrat and think Musk overestimated his defense (I'd even deport him if I was Trump), which is why it hurts even more when I'm the one who is a victim of others' dependence on being spoonfed by very testy and violent people when peoples' power to ask for everyone's perspective (before forgoing boundaries) is often all it takes for the malicious side to stop growing (heck, I have looked into it, and I noticed they are more transphobic and even faker than they accused her of being).

The other reason I am here is to ask something related to one of the points above. It seems advocacy of violence for some causes are openly discussed (whether they're actually allowed or not) but advocacy of violence for other causes are not. In the example I gave, I mentioned that people get away with saying alarming things about the CEO's while discussing Musk is off the table. Where the Hell do you draw the line? I see that seeming hypocrisy and I almost want to recommend ye olde forums as Elaine and Leni are familiar with because I've been there too and that's where all the diehards are.

Hello. I wasn't sure where to post about this and a friend directed me here. This is about AskLemmy on the Lemmy.world instance's newly appointed mod, shinigamiookamiryuu.

For clarity reasons I am going to mention they are also known as "Triagonal" and various other aliases. I'm using a fresh account because the person this post is about is known to dox the people who expose them, like they did with Morothias here

I'm also trans, so I'd prefer it if a person who tells trans people to shoot up schools (see image below) doesn't have access to my main account.

Here's a recent in-depth post which goes into detail about this person and includes lots of direct links.

====

Their modus operandi is this:

1. They'll do/say reprehensible things.
2. When people give evidence of those reprehensible things in the form of direct links, they will call it "slander". When this fails to work, they then try to gaslight everyone by saying "you're taking it out of context" "you cannot speak for my intentions" , hoping people fall for it. This is a very common tactic they've used for years. Don't fall for it.
3. They paint themselves as a targeted victim, hoping people (including mods/admins) take their word for it and don't look into the links that got posted.

There is a person who has an account on Lemmy, who has a 5 year long history of malicious trolling, doxing, catfishing, creepy comments they made to someone they knew was only 14, and telling a trans person to kill themselves after shooting up a school then gaslighting people on Lemmy about it by saying "where did I say anything about a shooter". Their actions are such that multiple people are chronicling the various reprehensible things they've said and done and continue to do. They resort to doxing, impersonating, and harassing anyone who exposes them or isn't on their side which is why a lot of people who call them out use fresh accounts for their own safety.

Here's a screenshot of them telling a trans person to "do what the person in Nashville did". They are referring to the Nashville school shooter, Aiden Hale, who was trans. They also called them a Japanese slur that is equivalent to the f-word

Here's the creepy comments they made to a DeviantArt forum member who they knew was only 14 years old. They doubled down on it when confronted.

They have also defended CP.

They raised a big stink on Ye Power Trippin' Bastards for their mod actions on AskLemmy.

There are a ton of links to things the troll has posted, on their own accounts, such as when they trolled on AskLemmy on Lemmy.world by saying Elon Musk's Nazi salute "has been debunked though" and proceeded to gaslight commenters in the comments, then locking their own thread. They are highly manipulative and try to paint themselves as a victim who is being targeted for no reason by calling the evidence in the links "slander" and saying "you can't speak for other people's intentions".

Here's them trolling about how Elon Musk's Nazi salute "has been debunked though" and then trolling people once those people proved them wrong by gaslighting them about how "you can't speak for other people's intentions!".

They like to portray themselves as an innocent person who is "being targeted for no reason" hoping that mods and admins who are unaware of their history take their word for it without looking into things. They will claim to mods/admins that they're being doxed because their alias, which the troll publicly posts everywhere, was mentioned in posts exposing them. They do this because they want people who point out what they're doing to be banned, not because they're actually concerned about doxing. Please bear in mind that this user has been caught using an AI generated voice trying to pass it off as their own and they have been permabanned from Discord servers for making up excuses when asked by mods to prove they are who they say they are. They are using a fake internet persona.

Recently, they got permabanned from Bulbagarden after the administrators discovered "concerning off-site conduct"

They have been banned and had posts removed countless times for "trolling"

Proof https://lemmy.wtf/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=538316

Another thing this user will do is sign up on websites using the exact usernames of the people who originally exposed them on DeviantArt and then, once called out for this, will troll about being "inspired" by those usernames, omitting the fact they've 1. done this dozens of times 2. they only steal the usernames of the people who exposed them on DeviantArt. They'll also list their country on the impersonation accounts as being from the country of the person they're impersonating, among other things, like pretending to have DID on an account that's named after a person on DeviantArt who actually has DID and then manipulate people by claiming people calling them out on this are "denying DID exists".

They report any posts that aren't on their side, claiming they're being doxed because the poster used their alias, an alias they publicly use throughout the internet, and are known for faking many aspects of their persona online.

I apologize for the lengthy post, but is it appropriate for such a person to be a mod on AskLemmy, which is a popular community, given their actions both on Lemmy and off-site?

edit: They're now in this thread saying Elon Musk's Nazi salute was debunked and are comparing it to Pokemon. Link

edit 2: gaslighting + sealioning in the comments https://lemmy.wtf/post/16417625/12630325

The first time it happened, I thought I was crazy and chalked it up to a glitch (i.e. "maybe it's just showing some weird database ID for me as a user or similar"). But this time, it was pretty clearly another user's account. The username was SLVRDRGN or something similar, had a completely different profile picture, etc...but when I went to click on the profile section to see if I had access to the account, the browser refreshed and populated with my account info.

Seems a little concerning potentially, so just thought someone should know. I will try to be faster with a screenshot if it happens again.

I am having a problem with AI images. Some of them are amazing, and I would like to see the image in different settings or outfits, but the AI creates a new face when I simply ask for a blue dress, or to place the character in a forest. Is there a way to edit a character without changing their appearance?

i cannot add more blocked users so i went one by one through that list ... starting from the first one i blocked. Not surprisingly, looking at each account, they are either Banned or have No Activity Since ~1 year.

Eventually there could be some site maintenance for [ Banned + Empty ] accounts so to clean our block lists accordingly ...

Some other optimization of this type could be made ... i believe it would free the server from useless work since the server have to compute removing according to Long Block Lists ... this task could be heavy in server work ...

What do you think ?

Unfortunately lemmy.world/c/motorcycles has had an inactive mod for the last year, and while its a relatively low activity sub for its size, and activity is overwhelmingly civil, a mod should still be around in case a need arises.

I'm more than willing for other mods to be appointed, especially in other timezones (I'm in Australia) so long as we can agree on moderation standards.

As for why I would like to moderate this community? I've been riding motorcycles for nearly two decades on the road and track, own 5 motorcycles (Ninja 1000, ZX6R, SWM Superdual X, 2x FZR250) and some have claimed I have a small interest in motorcycling and the community.

For clarity I would update the sidebar to include the following rules:

1. Be respectful and inclusive.
2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
3. Engage in constructive discussions.
4. Share relevant content.
5. No advertising or self promotion.

If someone wants to jump in

I recently made a sub but complety forgot to add text to the sidebar and I can't find how to edit the sidebar after a community has been made. Can you edit the sidebar, and if so how?

Hi! 👋

After a pretty (very) small discussion in MoG, I was inspired to try to get! [email protected] alive again.

Thanks :)

[Update] Was just a pick

https://www.lemmy-status.org/endpoints/_lemmy-world

As you can see, there are "1 new reply" and "3 more replies" buttons but if I press them nothing happens. It's not a problem of my app (Voyager btw) because the same happens on the lemmy.world website.

The problem is not this particular post, but almost under every post I encounter this issue. Does it happen to anyone else? What causes this?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/28624925

For example, I created this post with this image hosted on lemmy.sdf.org as URL. The post never made it to ![email protected].

However, the same post with the same image hosted on pixelfed.sdf.org made it just fine.

This is just one example. I've made at least a dozen such posts and each time this happens without fail - unless the URL is something other than a lemmy.sdf.org-hosted image.

Not sure where to report this...

Sometimes I am typing some Ideas. Its nice and all, but I need to make a break for the long post.

But this new paragraph does not have a line break from the one above. I am using old.lemmy.world if it matters.

I go to https://lemmy.world/communities and there's like 20 sorting options, half of them being Top and name isn't an option. What's up with that?

hello! it looks like the only moderator of https://lemmy.world/c/india has been inactive over nearly 2 years and has no activity except 1 post on their profile. I want to grow & moderate the community, hence I'm requesting the ownership/moderator-ship of the community.

Hey, i'd like to mod [email protected]. The mod's (@[email protected]) been inactive for 2 years, and i want to get the ball rolling for it again :)

The current and only moderator on the Fallout mods community (https://lemmy.world/c/falloutmods) seems to have been inactive for over half a year, and I would really appreciate the opportunity to try to build a community on it, as moderator.

Hello, I'd like to request to be made moderator of [email protected], the creator has been gone for a year. I want to try and revive it.
