Thanks to sh.itjust.works admins and their efforts!

Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised, it goes hand in hand with my experience and other’s experience with them. If Ruud isn’t in on it, he sure is an expert about keeping quiet about it and leaving it to those responsible. But do take pictures and specially web.archives, which can’t really be faked, and just keep the link to it saved somewhere.

Little else that can be done about it, I tried to get the instance he made false allegations in involved because he had apparently linked to CP and CSAM content as proof, but the SFW “No porn” instance he made the accusations in (yes, he used another alt to potentially put another competing instance in trouble) didn’t even seem to care about all the NSFW links that were potential links to pedophilia themselves, so I would say the degree of impassiveness is pervasive, hypocritically so, which is odd for a social network alternative that tries to sell itself as an alternative to the abuses in other social networks. Took evidence, reported the claims of CP and CSAM to the appropriate authorities, saved the ticket numbers, and moved on. Maybe there is something one could do, since it’s clear who it is and libel, abuse of authority, and making false allegations do seem like things that would be prosecuted, but the cost of going the legal route would probably be a lot more than any compensation or consequence they could get as a result.

That’s not the same thing, kerploosh dug around and found that I had responded to a top level comment and not to the thread directly, and this comment was removed but also prevented the comments hanging from it from displaying. I’ll update the comment.

But I know what you mean. The modlog hardly matters if the interface is so non-intuitive that you can’t easily tell what has happened. What you are describing could be due to federation synchronization issues, I’ve been noticing a lot of those lately. Don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely at least one top lemmy.world admin who is still in the team and is an asshole who will happily make shit up while sweeping problems they created under the rug, but lemmy is also buggy enough on its own, it seems.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks for your time and the investigative work. I guess I’m used to the way reddit handles it, which is that you can still open up branches where some of the parent comments have been deleted, and I didn’t remember I had replied to a comment under.

The only comment I deleted was the one hanging off of https://sh.itjust.works/comment/6657926 (which was basically me pointing out the same thing I later commented elsewhere about, the comment not showing up). Which makes sense, because it doesn’t show up.

If I had deleted https://sh.itjust.works/comment/6657926 itself, you should not be able to see it. But you can, and anyone can. What they can’t do is see it from the thread discussion itself, https://sh.itjust.works/post/11079972 .

And no, the comment I actually did delete does not show in my history … because I deleted it.

It may simply be a data inconsistency issue from one of the times sh.itjust.works went kaput, although it’s weird that a comment that previously showed up under a thread, got upvoted on it, and is still under said thread stops showing up as part of it to readers of the thread. It reminds me of shadowbans.

kersploosh dug around and found that I had responded to a top level comment and not to the thread directly, and this comment was removed but also prevented the comments hanging from it from displaying, so it’s all cleared up now.

awk is supposed to be simpler. If it isn’t, just use your favorite scripting language. It comes from a period of time when a lot of the scripting languages weren’t as easy to use or readily available.

It still shows up here: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/6657926

But it isn’t visible when viewing the whole thread.

I posted this comment 14 days ago,

It seems easier to register in infosec.pub than on sh.itjust.works, I just did it and there’s not even a captcha. It might have more to do with the server problems and what it may be doing to other instances. Or it might just be that time of the year again,

There’s a lot of vague accusations, but it’s hard finding evidence, perhaps because of the nature of it.

I’m curious why it’s not showing up with the rest of the comments (or my reply to it) but there isn’t a modlog removal.

I saw it more as a dig at the whole loli versus lalafell thing, where fans of the former always seem to disguise their intent behind the convenient happenstance of the latter.

Sounds like job security to me.

I don’t think it is, at least not the current iteration, but he would definitely have helped evolve its successor.

Now there’s a guy that deserves it, it’s sad that he was surrounded by such a spezwad.

Usually never.

Toxocutiosis.

These have some implied requirements like being ivy league material and a certified patriot. They are also both essentially superprodigies who can only exist in fiction.

You can take a self-defense class, though. Get someone to train you with weapons and parkour, and you are all set to be an average person with self-defense, gun training, and some novice-level parkour abilities.

There’s already examples of social networks that have upvotes and downvotes public. Besides kbin.social, which isn’t the most popular, there are some that have existed for a long time outside of the English speaking world, like meneane.net

Admins and instance owners will be seeing that information, and given how badly some of them behave without any remorse, I don’t see any reason why that privilege shouldn’t just be made accessible for all. Otherwise you have no way to judge downvotes, which just essentially makes them useless except for current thread sorting.

See who makes it, and you can generally get a sense if they are making a downvote honestly, just circlejerking it, or a high likelihood of an alt because a dead zombie account that hasn’t made a comment in forever suddenly decides to downvote in a deeply nested debate. In my experience, there is a high correlation of people who want anonymous downvotes and people who don’t want to be called out for their shit, even when they are admins who are constantly peeking to see who’s downvoting them.

It’s clearly not the doomsday that the naysayers say allowing it will be.
