I started on lemmy.world, and volunteered to mod a few communities relevant to my interests. Somebody started swinging at me on a post, sounding pretty super right. I looked at their profile and they were straight on some nazi shit. Literally, espousing nazi talking points.

I also noticed that they were mod on one community I was mod. I linked to relevant content and asked admin to remove said mod, and if they don’t it’s their perogative but I’d remove myself from mod-ship, no worries. I just don’t want to share a space with that person who so openly is on that bullshit. 🤷

I was banned from the entire instance within 10 minutes.

Because they’re incompetent neoliberals who didn’t want anything to the left of them to exist because it exposes them as immoral shitbags. What they didn’t understand at the time was that when you remove the left from your space you are drastically shifting your community rightwards. Now they have a fascism problem and it looks increasingly like Voat did.

It wasn’t really supported by their users either. It was a decision that seemed to entirely come from Antik.

I dunno what the right way is but I type a : and then that pops up a like search thing that lets you pick one. Once you pick one it pops this big long string of bullshit into your post that becomes an emoji. So for example if you type :sicko you get a bunch of stuff like

@ComradeLuz@hexbear.net additionally to what infamousbIt said; when you are typing up a new comment or reply, one of the buttons above the text field looks like a smiley face (between “link” and “upload image.”) You can click this to open up the emoji picker menu. The asterisk tab on the far right of this window is where you can find all of the custom emojis we have.

one trick you can use is to “view source” on a comment to see what the person typed

click the three vertical dots for more options, then click the icon that looks like a document

You won’t get an answer here that isn’t just shameless self-aggrandizement.

The shameless self-aggrandizement is 100% true btw
