As the title says, I’m looking for some potential mods to help run this community.

If you are interested, are a current mod of the QDL Subreddit, etc., then drop a comment to this post explaining why you believe that you would be a good fit for mod.

    Honestly, I appreciate the effort you put into looking into it, but we could’ve saved a lot of effort and time if you had looked at the modlog like I suggested 3 weeks ago. Or, idk, trusted that I wasn’t lying to you?? Or, I know you have like 4 alts, too, so you also could have just tested it yourself before spreading misinfo to new mods.

    It wasn’t harmful misinfo, but it’s misinfo nonetheless and I’m not gonna lie, it’s annoying that it took this much work to correct you. Especially after your antagonistic behavior in the past. And especially especially after I’ve already demonstrated to you that the problem as you presented it was wrong, and (if Martineski wasn’t mistaken) at least one other person also told you you were wrong.

    I agree with Martineski: Going forward, accurately convey the problem and inform people that it’ll be fixed in Lemmy v1.

      this much work to correct you.

      Wait, what? Are we supposed to start the whole discussion again?

      • the consensus is to use local alts to mods. LW admins recommend that, the Lemmy devs recommend that, the people who opened the tickets on the GitHub recommend that, other instances admins recommend that.
      • you think that it’s not the case because qaz made some testing but you are not sure what, and you assume that because you can resolve reports from another account it works.
      • I stand by the fact that the consensus is to use local accounts.
      • we go into the long discussion, you try to point me out that I’m wrong, I investigate and ping qaz
      • qaz confirms that the resolving reports don’t federate, meaning that using local accounts to resolve reports is the recommendation.

      at the modlog like I suggested 3 weeks ago

      Why would I look at the modlog when everyone involved on this topic agrees that using local accounts is the recommendation to mod from local accounts?

      trusted that I wasn’t lying to you?

      I didn’t say you were lying, I was saying that you were not following the recommendation that is to use local accounts to mod. You still don’t, by the way, for both this community and [email protected].

      and (if Martineski wasn’t mistaken) at least one other person also told you you were wrong.

      The other person is you.

      antagonistic behavior

      I was getting antagonistic because it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. That you mods were power tripping by wanting to move !196 to lemmy.world against the community’s will was already bad, but then when you confessed you didn’t even have a local account, (and that hence your handling of the reports would not federate to LBZ), that was the just too much.

      It’s okay to make mistakes, but it’s usually better to recognize them.

      Anyway, long live [email protected]

        The issue as you were presenting it was just wrong. Plain and simple. If you’re not going to own it, that’s your prerogative.

        Me and Qaz both have told you now that having a local account doesn’t solve the issue. You need several alts, local and remote.

          Let’s give it another go then.

          If you are the only mod team in the entirety of Lemmy who use a specific alt to get more reports, this should be raised, and all mod teams should have that specific set of mods.

          I just had a look at the

          All of those LW communities are probably the one with the most reports as they are the most active of the whole platform. None of those team use remote accounts to mod.

          There may be something strange happening with the LBJ setup (potentially due to the high number of users and instances banned). Let’s hope qaz can detail more when they have more time.

          That whole issue does not change anything to the fact that for the report resolve to actually work, you need to use a local account as remote accounts don’t federate.

          Be aware that the reports don’t federate, so people modding from non local accounts won’t get reports. the usual recommendation is to use local accounts do moderate, as remote accounts resolves of reports do not federate to the community host instance.

          I edited my comment for completeness, but it does not change the key message: it is recommended to use local accounts to be able to perform all mod actions (while we wait for qaz detailed explanation). The reasons behind doesn’t change anything to the recommendation.

          Also, following your own logic, you have directly asked the mod of this community to add your lemm.ee account as a mod to catch all the reports rather than just suggesting it as an afterthought. But it seems like you’re only using this argument as an excuse to defend why you were not wrong by wanting to mod from a LW account.

            They can recommend whatever they want. Doesn’t change the fact that local alts have the same issue, and you need several.

            I’m not making any argument other than to counter your claim that reports don’t federate at all. That’s misinformation. Which you seem to understand now, so why you’re still arguing is beyond me.

              you need several.

              Now you’re the one spreading misinformation. Let’s revisit this topic once qaz can make that post.

              Enjoy using your remote account that cannot actually resolve the reports.
