I see you have started a number of communities and you’re a new member. There’s no rules against this, but I do hope you might take the time to grow the communities you’ve started. You’re taking on a lot of committment, or perhaps creating a lot of spaces that will join the many dead spaces we already have.
I’m not telling you not to do this, I’m just hoping you realize that creating communities is by far the easiest part.
Very carefully :)

Nope, the community has no moderator.
However, admins have access to reports. And if it’s on Lemmy.World, I have started looking for such communities using a tool I wrote, which I hope will also make it easier for admins to monitor which subs aren’t handling reports in a timely manner.
We have some others who have already put time and effort into working on monitoring that sort of thing, but I’m hoping to improve our response times.
We are generally seeking volunteers to moderator - who will handle reports hopefully daily, but definitely almost-daily. It requires occasionally dealing with folks being nasty, making sure posts and comments do fit the rules of the community as well as the instance Terms of Service. It’s not a lot of work, but most people don’t want to do it (which is fine).
Even if a lemming doesn’t wish to moderatoe, however, honest and legitimate reports of rule-breaking posts and comments are appreciated. It’s how we can eliminate the bad things from Lemmy.
I’ve PMd your lemmy.world account a couple of times. lol. But th basic idea is: I’m working through the process on other requested communities, they’re almost certainly going to you in a few days. :)
It sounds like you are going through an incredibly dark and difficult time right now. Please know that even when things feel completely overwhelming and isolating, there are people who care and want to support you through this pain. Help is available.
There are free and confidential services ready to listen and support you immediately. In the United States and Canada, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. If you are in the United Kingdom, you can call 111 for support or 999 in an emergency. In Australia, Lifeline can be reached at 13 11 14. For most countries in Europe, dialing 112 will connect you directly to emergency support. If you are located elsewhere in the world, you can visit findahelpline.com to easily locate crisis services specific to your region. Please reach out to one of these resources.
Tip of the day: When an admin of an instance adivses you not to break the Terms of Service… consider refraining from doing so.
Good-bye.

Lemmy design choice, not .world :)
Yep, lemmy dev wheelhouse not mine, and I will say that one of the nice things about being an admin is that I can see deleted items - for a while until they’re permanently deleted. heh.
Design philosophy… I find it irritating that the comments I delete are still out there at all, so I’ve gotten in the habit of editing then deleting them.
The flip side - if we’re comparing Lemmy to Reddit though - is that scoring you see is not fudged, and you can see your votes happen in real time. If there’s a delay in applying the vote, the spinny stays until it happens. With reddit, I’d refresh to make sure my upvote stuck because a lot of times it didn’t, just silently fail, and that was irritating.
So it just comes down to different devs making different choices, I suppose.
Just to confirm, deleted by the creator. (excessive blurring just as a habit since the author chose to delete it)
You main acount had a tempban. That just got escalated to a permanent ban. Nice.
Got it done just now, thanks for your patience!
I’ll get that done here in a bit :)
It’s not a problem if it’s an occasional thing, and it looks to me like it’s just an occasional thing. :)
Nicely done.
You got me completely. I’ve been banning spammers all day (I’m working on some mod tools that help identify some that fell through the cracks and should help us respond to reports better going forward), so my first reading was “Spammer?” lol.
Thank you for a very much needed laugh!
I see you hadn’t modded this account so I went ahead and did :) Thanks again for volunteering! :)
I’m happy to grant your request, though I have a strong request of my own: Mod notifications seem not to work across instances, so if you would please consider creating a lemmy.world account and modding that account in addition, then logging in occasionally to check for reports pretty please, it’s probably better that way. :)
Thank you for volunteering!
Well, okay, you can make up whatever you want to believe, I guess.
