I try to give anyone who reports something the time of day. Apologies if you don't think I handled that report correctly.
Perhaps I should have just PM'd the comment author, so that you wouldn't have felt the need to get involved.
Cheers. I was familiar with the term from astronomy, but unsure why the author thought that term sounded 'bad'. I was trying to engage in active moderation, seeking clarity rather than just nuking anything because it was reported. I'm assuming from your vote that you'd rather I don't give anyone the benefit of the doubt, so I can do that if you prefer.
Please clarify your meaning. Your comment has been perceived as ableist (i.e. disparaging towards people born with the medical condition of dwarfism) and I'd rather not remove it if that perception is based on a misunderstanding. Thanks.
KBIN are 404ing this image for LW.
'ibb.com bandwidth limit exceeded' :( Might be exacerbated by federation
Yeah, I know what you mean. That note is misleading, and kinda redundant too - you can physically de-select Undetermined in the UI, but the change won't actually take if you press 'Save'.
Most likely reason is that you unticked 'English' as a language you understand when you were playing around.
Sorry - that was the auto-mod. It removes heavily down-voted stuff, which normally is something that needs removing, but not always. I'll restore your comment.
No, sorry. There's [email protected] you could ask in, 'cos your comment here might not be seen much.
Looks like it, yeah (though peaks and troughs are to be expected). The next few days won't show entirely accurate results, because the bot uses data provided by lemmyverse.net, and that's site's crawler has been failing

Image transcription: 4 panel comic by War and Peas: 1. two pharaohs from ancient egypt are standing in front of a pyramid whose construction is nearing completion. One says to the other, "You've outdone yourself this time, Babuthep." 2. he continues, "You'll be remembered for this throughout history!" 3. "It's a testament to human ingenuity." 4. time jump to the present day. At an alien conference, someone speaks to an audience, "It was aliens!"

I was never offended, which I thought you were clear on before, but apparently not. It would seem like this urge you had to teach others, that you couldn't resist, was so powerful that you willing to overlook any possibility that it wasn't required.
As for the offer of changing moderation style: yes, I'm willing to change. I'm still feeling my way around it. If enough people communicate, through votes or comments, that my approach is wrong, I'll re-assess. Obviously though, someone as perceptive as you will have realised that my earlier offer was just for your stuff.
