I’ve just discovered that lemmy.world (and potentially other) users I’ve banned from my magazine are still able to comment, comments I can’t see on kbin but that do show up on lemmy.world.
(E: I already knew removed comments still show up on other instances, but assumed that sorts itself out in time, but now I’m not so sure)
This makes modding futile.
I want to make sure my space is safe and not hostile to those of us who already deal with bullshit everywhere else, and I can’t do that when this is the case.
How do we fix this?
A bug was filed about this issue four months ago and ernest has commented on that thread, so he’s aware of the problem. So far, no solution has been reached, which makes me as a moderator extremely demotivated. I don’t want to put effort into building a community if comments that break community rules are federated but moderation is not.
Thanks for this info, I guess it’s good to know it’s on the to do list, but I completely agree, since realising this my motivation to post, knowing my moderation doesn’t have any effect on a large chunk of users, has dropped significantly…
Is there a place to check for updates on this, is the post you shared it?
The bug report is the way to track this. Tho sometimes ernest makes posts in this magazine to share what’s happening.
Ok, thanks! What’s ernest’s magazine called? I’ll definitely subscribe to that, and keep an eye on the bug report.
