  • I thought they were coming at me a bit hard, they just wanted to argue with (and insult) me about anything they could. But tbh I can be a bit sensitive so I held off banning them for longer than I might have done if another user reported them for the same thing. Thank you for the reassurance that I wasn’t being reactionary because my feelings were hurt.

    I don’t know what I’m missing but I can’t see options to delete/ban while browsing. I usually browse from IOS apps and open lemmy in my phone browser to mod but I used my laptop for this and still couldn’t see it. Also, I’m only given the option to ban for a set number of days, there’s no permaban option. Do I just put a high 4 digit number in?

    I will definitely join the mod support you mentioned, and again, thank you for your help!


  • Thank you for that! I don’t understand all of those terms but I got the gist! For what my opinion is worth, I think blocking a user as a mod should only block them from communities you don’t moderate. Or moderators should be advised to create separate mod/user accounts.

    Do you know what happens if someone I’ve previously blocked, then posts to a community I moderate? I was a user before I was a mod and blocked unpleasant people. Could they be making posts or commenting on threads within my communities and I’m not even seeing them? That really interferes with my ability to mod.


  • I haven’t modded on another site before and I was starting to wonder how people do it! When I initially tried to ban the user I was only offered the option to block them, presumably because no one had reported their comments. That prevented me from seeing the comments that needed to be deleted. I had to unblock the user, report their comments myself (from my mod account, reporting them to me) and then delete the rule breaking comments and ban them.

    For the sake of transparency I’d rather not use a different account to comment on posts in my communities, but if I have to then so be it. I’ll use the same username on a different instance. I feel like I should be able to delete comments or ban subscribers while browsing posts from my mod account though. Reporting comments to myself seem ridiculously inefficient.

    Thanks for your suggestion!





























  • It’s a Thai ☺️ far superior imo - the variegation is stable unlike in VMs which can revert. Every leaf will look different but it will always have variegated bits. You see the bottom left? That’s what they mean by “yellow”. It’s really just a little cream/off white. VMs tend not to have so much marbling, and all the variegated bits are white. There’s no variegation within the white iykwim? I believe Thais are still more expensive than VMs so you might have got a good deal if it was mislabelled! I’ll take some photos of my two tomorrow when it’s daylight if you’d like to see a comparison.

    ETA: variegata is just the Latin name for variegated. Variegated just means a plant isn’t one solid colour. Thais are a type of variegated monstera. And the full Latin name of VMs is “monstera deliciosa albo variegata”. “Monstera variegata” is technically correct for both plants, but non-specific.
