Too many politically charged comments, locking. We are a technology community, if you want to talk politics please do so in the appropriate community.

You and I both know it was not your first offense, you’re entitled to your opinion on the rest, but we don’t play with rule 3 - especially when it is blatantly ignored.

Also if you’d like to get an alert for why your comment was removed or why you were banned, I’d recommend making a feature request to the Lemmy devs, I agree it’d be nice to get alerted when you did something against the rules and what rule, we post that in the mod log but it unfortunately doesn’t tell the user without them digging into modlogs.

Have a good day!

Yes, we remove rule breaking comments/posts, that’s what moderators do.

You’ve had multiple rule breaking comments, especially last month.

Also, the modlog for every community is and has been public.

Thanks for being understanding!

Typically no, that wouldn’t get it removed.

Only removed because the user is getting harassed elsewhere for the signature, and the comment was border-line rule 3.

I don’t disagree, but easy solution would be not to look at this one post? Anything else as far as memes will be removed if posted

We are not allowing memes to be posted still, just inside this post itself as comments to hopefully avoid removing meme posts. We have had to remove multiple meme posts since the controversy began, hoping to alleviate that.

@wmassingham@lemmy.world

I’m unfortunately not very good with Steam and gaming, but have to ask the obvious: have you tried removing the controllers driver and reinstalling it?

Not currently, at least that we have been made aware of

This is just to try and combat single users voting more than once, but totally understand not turning it off.

I don’t disagree, I think L4s has done a good job here and have thought it might be time to pull the plug for almost 2 weeks now.

My only worry is that it creates a gap in conversations (due to less posts here), which might slow or reverse some of the growth, but that would be inevitable no matter when we decide to do it.

That’s why I think @PopBobert@lemmy.world’s poll is a good idea, if the community thinks it’s time then let’s do it.

That’s fair, my bot posts once an hour and checks it’s own previous posts. That is actually something I did not write, but pulled from github.

I wrote something in Python for videos that I can convert to the tech community, that one does check all community posts and won’t repost.

Yeah it’s a bit of a catch 22.

I’m also a bit bias on the subject, as I run @L4s@lemmy.world here, but will take it down if we feel it’s necessary.

Just wanted to let you know incase you are not aware, you can uncheck “show bot accounts” under settings, as long as the bot is marked appropriately you will no longer see bot posts.

We are listening to the input here, and will have a discussion around the topic.

Thought the same when I was reading this, weird they wouldn’t migrate here, unless they are unaware of the Fediverse

I don’t disagree, but it’s definitely a shame the decentralized platforms are hard for the average user. Most want a video feed, ease of use, and loads of content. While we are getting there with content, the other two are currently lacking.

Hopefully we can make the ease-of-use thing a reality, it’s not realistic to explain to non-tech people how to utilize Lemmy, kbin, etc. Most will lose interest really fast
