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

[sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz]

Fair enough, Can you answer my last question tho? The fact you're pointing out NoStupidQuestions + the much more gratuitous *MUCH more appropriate dig kind of proves my point, no?

NoStupidQuestions, much more appropriate [emphasis mine]

Why do you think the Question is (so) Lazy/Stupid/(Garbage)? Respectfully, that seems more like curating and making value judgments rather than moderating but I'm open to hearing your thoughts on why you believe thats not the case here (assumingthat chacterisation is accurate and you still stand by it)

I don't know if this was weirdly aggressive, I probably deserved this. I was banned also.

[sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz]

I mean thats kind of funny in a way (very human) but what was the actual stimulus for that?

[empireoflove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Does this count as aggressive?

[sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz]

What even is all that markup?

[don@lemmy.ca]

It’s called Zalgo text, just search for a Zalgo text generator.

[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 ‍️

[empireoflove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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.

[sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz]

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

[awistfulnihilist@lemmy.world]

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.

[sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz]

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

[acamon@lemmy.world]

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.

[fedegenerate@lemmynsfw.com]

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

I don’t even know how to check that
