Whats the most weirdly aggressive mod removal reason you've received in your ModLog?

[sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz]

Is it just, like perpendicular/vertical orthogonal superimposed script

[don@lemmy.ca]

I’m uncertain as to the mechanics behind it, but that sounds reasonable

[zachariah@lemmy.world]

I guess I downvoted too much? There were a lot of clickbait titles with zero description. I also upvoted quality posts ‍️

Basically it abuses the fact that Unicode allows combining of multiple characters in a single character space with offsets and rotations applied. Zalgo text basically takes a ton of random accent characters (E.g the squiggly above Spanish Ñ), which are considered their own marks, and combines them on one letter with lots of offset.

Is it just diacritical signs?

[empireoflove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Yup! Unicode doesn't put any limits on them.

[sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz]

I respect that

Oh man, it's been a while. Without looking up the mod log to confirm, I think i was annoyed the person I was arguing with was bad at it. I probably said something very insulting for no good reason. I can tend to do that every now and again.

Honestly, I find civil skepticism is more than enough 97% of the time

Only once had my post removed, from [email protected] with the reason "Take a break". Not especially offensive as a message, but also not a real justification since it was the first time I posted in that community.

But the post and screenshot was of a post by the mod of [email protected] saying something idiotic and been widely called on it. But when someone posted it to that community the mod deleted the post. I don't normally get involved in dumb Internet drama (which is why this is the only time I've ever had an interaction with a mod) but the hypocracy of running a community for criticising Internet dumbassery while being completely unwilling to face criticism for your own mistakes was just beyond the pale.

I've had one post removed: a photo of a motorcycle helmet, in a public coffee shop, on a ride that I went on with my mother. Reason: nudity.....

[spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Does it count as 'weirdly aggressive' that I had a comment removed for an unsourced quotation? Because I was quoting the person I was responding to, directly in the comment I was replying to.

[triflingtoad@sh.itjust.works]

a mod of [email protected] did some power tripping shit (don't remember the context) and when I said "the mod of usa authoratism is being authoritarian lol" or something kinda like that I got this gem

iirc the mod got removed from the sub.

edit: found the context

[arcane2077@sh.itjust.works]

I don’t even know how to check that

[sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz]

I dunno but it generally is good etiquette to more explicitly quote things think
And it helps make context clearer

[greenknight23@lemmy.world]

holy shit, this deserves a prize.

what an oblivious douchebag.

[steeznson@lemmy.world]

Got a removal for "rule 4" on one of the UK subs. Looking at the non-numbered rules on the sidebar, I think it correlates with "low effort, spam, or nonsensical post". I'd spent a while writing it and suspect that the mod disagreed with the stance I'd taken on a hot button issue.

type in your instance URL then add /modlog at the end

I love the community, I just hate the posts.
