Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

It says I broke rule 4 but I didn't post any porn.

I see it in the logs, but like the other user said, I don't see the mod name in the logs. ๐Ÿค”

It is showing in my client though

Are you using an app? Is the screenshot from a moderator-only view of the modlog? Because yeah, as regular users, not moderators, using the website, we can see the actions in the modlog, but we can't see what mod performed them. In fact I remember that being an issue of contention on hexbear, some people wanting to be able to see which mod did what, but the response was that it would create too much drama if users got to see which mod removed their comments or banned them.

I am using summit.

You can see them on some platforms.

[โ€“] MaeBorowski@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Which? How? And in this case, Saymaz was using Summit, which I checked and Summit does not show mod names for mod actions (unless the user is an admin or a moderator of that specific comm the action happened on).

Kbin. They're pretty open with federation too.

[โ€“] amemorablename@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So if someone has an account from a Kbin instance that is federated with a Lemmy instance, they can see stuff that normal Lemmy users can't? Do you know if it requires them being an admin of a Kbin instance or just normal user?

Sometimes I can see the mod, sometimes it just shows as "someone." I don't know why.

[โ€“] amemorablename@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Huh, weird. My general takeaway from this and other stuff I've looked up in the process is, "never assume something that appears private on lemmy is actually private."

[โ€“] Maeve@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 5 months ago

If it's on the internet, it isn't private. Even airgapped.

[โ€“] amemorablename@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I bet you have an app client for it that is able to show that info, different than default. That might explain it. It's probably info that is not really "private" but doesn't get displayed in default interface.

[โ€“] MaeBorowski@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I just downloaded the app Saymaz uses, Summit, but I still can't see mod names with it. I'm almost positive it's because Saymaz is a moderator too, which gives them privileges that non-mod users don't have.

[โ€“] amemorablename@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Strange. I wouldn't think being a mod in one "community" would give that kind of access, since anyone can make one, right? But I don't know enough about how lemmy works in general, I guess.

Summit devs, could you just take a look on the issues before the next update?
