That’s a good effect then imo.

Looks like can still submit report ( I sent a test one in your post/comm and it seems to take - if it did, you should see the report…)
I can still see you, your comm and posts, but can’t comment (it just spins). And your comm is no longer in my subscribed list. And if I attempt to subscribe to comm again, no success - it just spins… So mostly good!
I suspect they just lose the ability to comment/vote.
Try it out - try banning me from your comm
Here’s a screenshot/example (sorry for the amateurish annotation). Use the hamburger option next to a post or comment from from account you want to action
The downvote now only registers within communities you are subscribed to.
The downvote button does show up everywhere though, which may cause some initial confusion (as i was too, but on second thought, makes sense. Now non-subscribed folks can press that downvote button as many times as they want to vent, but these votes won’t register)
Yes, you definitely can ban accounts from community you mod. At the time of the ban, there is a checkbox option (via default browser UI) to also remove all the past crud posted in the community from account you are banning - easy way to do wholesale cleanup rather than having to do one message or one comment at a time.
Read through the previous announcement and discussions.
There’s no need to rehash here these same points already made…
Voted in poll.
I think only allowing community members to vote is a reasonable solution. This is similar to political parties and having primaries, so it’s not a radical idea.
If one is not invested in a community and not contributing (in whatever ways), just stay quiet and observe on the sidelines.
If one is invested, then by all means take the time to subscribe and truly help build a community with your engagement (even if just by silent voting).
I’m confident there will be some known trolls and haters who simply like to downvote for the fun of it and they will spitefully subscribe to every imaginable community to demonstrate their “right to downvote”. 😂 Bless them…
It’s now over a week and it seems things generally have improved. A lot more different posters, but niche content and OC have not increased much yet. A lot more postings of popular redgifs links by non-OC reposters.
Just some unscientific observations - based on my own posts into small niche focused communities:
I hope you’ll read through the post and rest of this thread about the reasonings and temporary nature of this change until we can technically implement a longer term reasonable solution (TBD) to properly reflect your statement
what matters is the up/down ratio
Do you have any suggestions?
In those cases, please use the Report to alert mods AND admins for ban actions.
Its always worth reminding about instance-wide rule 2
(Rule Two) Respect and Consent: Treat all members with respect and obtain consent when sharing explicit content involving others. No doxxing. No soliciting or sharing personal info. No homophobia, transphobia, body shaming, or kinkshaming. Don’t be an asshole.
Bummers - that what I thought… Reddit finally did something right when they made blocking both ways so that people you have blocked can’t see you.
Thanks @[email protected].
Question for you and admins here: Does blocking someone work here on LemmyNSFW work the same way now as on Reddit (i.e. they can’t see any your content posts). Previously on Reddit before they made the change, blocking was only one way, which didn’t work well.
I’m happy to continue posting and helping grow communities. 😊
Just highlighting a rule/advice I have on sidebar of [email protected] (and applicable at any of other communities I mod)
Please don’t engage with Trolls and those being disrespectful to community/members. Report such to mods for ban action. Zero Tolerance.
The one side benefit of disabling downvotes is that this minority of trolls and haters have to be more overt in public view via their comments, and responsible members can help by reporting such to admins for instance-wide bans.
And as for the outright disrespect @b9999998 , Annabelle’s most recent post proves exactly what sort of shit is being let slide:
As I said in my reply, this type of toxic trolling is what needs to be reported to admins (since the comment you referred to is in Annabelle’s own community, we mods on other communities can’t do much outside of our communities - but admins can take action via instance-wide rule 2
Of course, the disgusting part is that many other trolls up voted that comment, and I’m truly saddened by that.
I can say for myself that in any of the communities i mod (including at Reddit), a comment like that toward some OC poster like Annabelle in this context will be deleted and member banned from community when reported - caveat, it does require bringing stuff like this to mods and admins attention.
[Addition] @[email protected], I don’t know what your experiences were, but I hope you"ll share with admins some of your own specifics. Also, if you look at the sidebar/rules of https://old.reddit.com/r/ButterflyWings, and https://old.reddit.com/r/DangleAndJingle, you can see how I started those subs and the culture of zero tolerance for trolls and rude members, and have encouraged many OC posters to post in harassment-free communities for 4+ years now.
Hi Annabelle, Wrt negative or harassing comments, you can report them for actioning by mods/admins. I am quick to ban trolls and toxic folks who don’t add value to communities, and I believe most mods would agree with me and do the same.
True, but at the same time, it may be preferable if you are to adopt some existing/abandoned community, rather than start a potential duplicate one.
Also, volunteer to get onto existing communities - many would totally welcome additions. You could very well become top moderator if you are passionate about the community.
There were/are many communities that have been abandoned by early adopters of lemmyNSFW that likely have moved on… Try to work with the admin team - they are a great bunch 😊
Please keep reading all the way down to the bottom of the sidebar WRT titling…
Separate from the list(s) published by admins here, I’m also happy to add additional mods to communities I currently mod (see my profile). Please post or comment and leave me the indication that you want to be considered.
As I’ve said before, if anybody can demonstrate that they want to be top mod of any of my communities, I’d be happy to transfer top mod status to you.
