it’s clearly 3, stop spreading misinformation

if you’re not community banned you might still be instance banned on the community instance, which wouldn’t show up in your local instances modlog if the ban happened on a <0.19.4 instance. if the methods pointed out by other comments here fail I suggest you visit the instance of the community and check the site modlog there, searching for your user.

i suspect you’re referring to your post to a lemmy.ml community and you have indeed been instance banned there for a limited amount of time.

how about “silly”? “stupid”?

unlike on reddit, you can edit your post title here on lemmy.

here’s also some more context and explanation about what’s going on:

it sure is possible, but not with the amount of work anyone would be willing to put into it.

i don’t want to go to all that effort

those aren’t actually gifs.
they’re frequently webms.

various people don’t care or don’t know the difference between media formats though, so they’ll just call anything remotely gif-like a gif.

you can just turn it off, see https://help.kagi.com/kagi/settings/general.html

true, my comment was primarily from the perspective of the recipient of tracking links

for our admin team, we’re using a bot to message a matrix room when content is reported and reacting to the message when it’s been handled.

this could be done pretty much the same way on mod level, though this is certainly not easily accessible to everyone due to the hosting involved.

and all of this is only relevant if you even receive reports about content in the first place. if you moderate a community on another instance, tough luck unfortunately, as they currently do not federate.

edit: typos

I haven’t checked how reddit does this but just from the example it seems like there is no anti tracking from the use of urlcheck that you’re describing.

reddit appears to generate tracking link with a specific numeric identifier in their database, so instead of attaching a bunch of removable url parameters they instead do a lookup in their database and then redirect to the original destination.

this also means your app checking the redirect will need to fetch the url to determine the destination, which means their tracking still works just fine.

edit: a word

I don’t see “AI” being a relevant factor here, it should be treated the same as if it was drawn, photoshopped or otherwise.

Although I don’t know the full intention of the rule as it was originally created, I assume the intention to be avoiding political debate here. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is by banning political figures, no questions asked, but that also prohibits a bunch of content that is unlikely to result in political debate.

At the same time, we have

Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the mods

so I would consider this an exception on that ground.

there’s also kexec

you should also see that when you click my name, if it doesn’t already show it on my name.

to be fair, iirc it was only a total of 3 comment threads at the time, where two were started by lemmy.world users and one by a hexbear.net user. as those instances are on your instances block list, that would enough to hide the entire comment threads I believe.

seems to be a federation issue for you, I see 90+ comments (reported by client, not counted), earliest from 9h ago

is that because Microsoft doesn’t have QA anymore?

ncdu makes it even easier if you want to interactively browse through folders to see which files exactly are eating up space
