Saw a post about a user saying he enjoys reading the modlogs for some reason. So I went ahead and checked it out which got me thinking…
Have we deleted/censored anything in this instance yet? Have we banned anyone yet?
Anyone willing to take one for the team/instance?
(The last line was a joke. Don’t ban me plis.)
I banned someone for reporting mildly offensive stuff after being inflammatory to people on lemmy.world. It’s one thing if someone’s being a butt to request you remove their comments, it’s another to antagonize them and then report them. I don’t know if anything’s been removed as far as posts here.
Honestly thought that since we’re a small group we’d be relatively safe from those. Hey at least we have an entry in the modlog. iusearchlinux admins represent!
For some reason pinning messages gets put in the modlog and anytime we take adminstrator actions, it also shows up. If you report a comment or a post on another instance, it’s elevated to us because we’re the admins of here which I personally do not like but oh well. Everyone here behaves so I’ve only ever had to remove comments from our stinky brethren.

wait. why? Posts and comments on another instance? you can’t do anything (like delete) those, right? If I understand correctly, admin powers are limited to their own instances (like you can’t ban someone from lemmy.world if the community he’s in is another server, for example). Did I misunderstand or is that really a weird way of distributing reports? that sounds like a lot of reports to sift through, specially if you’re from a big instance.
