r/Art has quietly gone into lockdown and is no longer accepting submissions after mods began facing severe blowback for banning @haydclay for mentioning the word “print” on the subreddit.

I don’t think Lemmy is any better. The other day, a Lemmy moderator didn’t like a video I shared about the potential collapse of the US and banned me from eight communities. As far as I know, the video wasn’t even AI-generated, so I don’t know where he got that idea from.

    If I do it for myself, I only see “mod”. Am on mobile though. I heard that admins can sometimes see mod names, so perchance do you host your own instance?

      same here. i am also on lemmy.zip.

      what is “not the desktop or mobile versions”? what other versions are there?

      but that debate aside, even if it were true, seeing some mix of characters other than “mod” is not really useful in any way.

        Huh I see the same thing. I could’ve sworn I saw the mod’s name a while ago too… Either way at least here there’s a log with some sort of reason.
