This isn’t a suggestion to make this mandatory, nowhere did I say such a thing. If you wish to speak to underage people, it’s your choice, as it should be theirs to disable this possibility, as it should be mine to disable visibility of their content.

Seen it tried before

Where?

Moderation in the Fediverse is about making sure MY users on MY instance get the experience they want

If that were true, we wouldn’t be having so much user migration. So far moderation on fediverse lacks any transparency and frequently appears to be power tripping.

Moderation in the Fediverse is about making sure people see what I, the moderator or admin, wish to be the only thing visible to them.

Otherwise, block function exists.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to make it so system automatically sends users notifications if they were banned or if their posts were removed? Currently moderation is really pointless since the offender doesn’t even know they did something wrong.

Yes, it’s in their instance modlog, and, again, I solely was made aware by someone else seeing it. I cannot tell if I’m banned anywhere else. I find the decision silly, but I don’t have any intention of evading any bans, so I’d like to be able to inform admins to ban me again if I move instances. I’m currently looking into a new instance to choose, because even as we speak, I keep experiencing .ml going down and up and down and up…

Wait, I’m banned from a Science Community? TIL. I only know I got banned from .world for my meme and solely so as someone else has told me. I don’t even know if I got banned, hence the question. I was surprised by the .world ban.

It was indeed a bot! Thank you!

I have seeing them disabled in my settings. Thanks for the info. I’ll check the next time.

It worked. Bless you!

Ohh, thank you so much!

If I checked correctly, I have 455 communities blocked. Any more and .ml may explode. :c

I genuinely don’t mind it existing somewhere not available easily. But I mind it being stored out in the open when I took the steps to have it removed. To censor oneself is an awful, very mentally unhealthy advice. Had I not used the Internet the ways I do, I’d probably be long gone. Internet is a great space for free alternative therapy (and normal therapy is very expensive and nowhere as efficient). I knew this comment would come, but I chose to let it happen so I could respond. If you wish to not be yourself, feel free to! I choose to embrace myself for my own sake.

If that matters, one of them had last activity about 3 months ago (I lost password and reset wasn’t working) and the other one had more recent activity. The one which had more recent activity seems correctly purged of my posts, but the 3 months old activity one is still up.
