Unfortunately the person who replied must have missed it.

I think you’d call that gorgeous little bunch a posy rather than a bouquet. More simplistic, smaller, shorter stems, often wildflowers with an informal arrangement. Far superior imo!

I don’t. On safari iOS and chrome on MacBook I click the three dots and see this:

There’s only the option to block or report, not remove or ban. I tried it on more than one comment. Interestingly I am given ban and remove options on the Lemmios app:

These are using the same account, viewing the same thread on the same community. Maybe it’s a lemmy.world problem?

Damn it. Alt account here I come. Thanks again!

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!

I started a community !downtherabbithole for this kinda thing but written content isn’t as easy to find as videos unfortunately. I’m like you and much prefer reading to watching. There’s at least one text link there that’s an interesting read. I think there’s a long-form community on lemmy too, that might scratch an itch?

Oh for sure. Unless the other person has lied to you about it, getting into a relationship with someone who’s married with a new baby is not ok at all. It’s just the narrative around this seems to be “Ariana the home-wrecker”, not “scumbag husband and dad destroys his entire family”. The person in a relationship who chooses to cheat will always be more liable/guilty/detestable in my book. Even if it like choosing what’s worse to step on; Lego or dog shit.

I’m no fan of adultery, but as he was the one who was married I think the blame lies primarily with him. She seems to make pretty bad life choices but she wasn’t the one with a wife and baby at home. His soon to be ex-wife has blamed Ariana for not being “a girls girl”, which again, seems to be missing the point imo. She’d been with that dude since high school and he cheated on her when their kid was less than 6 months old? What an absolute scumbag. I hope she doesn’t take him back when this relationship inevitably fizzes out.

I don’t know about the delivery driver. She was married to a guy who was a real estate agent or something like that. They got divorced in January. It was a covid relationship that didn’t last. This guy is in the theatre production of wicked that she’s staring in. He’s just filed for divorce from his high school sweetheart. They had a baby last august. Apparently Ariana and this dude were dating behind the wife’s back.

He looks like the new guy Ariana grande is dating, but surely it’s not.

Any idea when the public beta will launch?

I had to make an active !confidently_incorrect community to cross post this to. It’s c/confidently_incorrect@lemmy.world if anyone’s interested.

Oh my god…

I thought I was going to have to sticky a “friendly reminder; no transphobia” post earlier. It was touch and go but I think it came down on the right side of the discussion/argument divide.

What was your report? Did you get ban-happy?!

I was 21 when I was diagnosed, symptoms started at 18. I was told I’d never be able to work, that I’d never have children, and I’d be lucky to see 30. I went to an irl support group and had to sit through a 55 year old woman sobbing because she needed to take early retirement and she really liked her job. At the time it felt so utterly minuscule compared to the loss I was grieving it just made me angry. I was angry a lot when I was younger. I’m 37 now so I beat the odds and I’ve learnt to live with the unfairness of it - and to accept that people like that 55 year old woman are perfectly entitled to grieve for their loss. Suffering is subjective, and if that’s the worst thing that ever happened to that woman, it’s terrible for her.

RE the pain… MEDICAL CANNABIS. I’m in the UK and it’s only recently been made legal for medical purposes. You can’t get it on the NHS though, I have to pay privately and without a job that’s really hard. But it’s worth the sacrifice - my life has improved dramatically in the year I’ve been taking it. I was on a huge dose of gabapentin (sister drug to lyrica) 600mg at 8am, 12pm, 4pm and 900mg at 8pm. Plus NSAIDs, immune modulating drugs, benzodiazepines, amitriptyline, and 3 different opioids. I’ve reduced those drugs by about a third since I started medical cannabis and my pain is better than I can ever remember.

Hope the lumbar puncture goes well - it’s not as bad as it sounds, promise! The bit of back pain you can get afterward is just like period cramps - a hot water bottle will help 🙂

Hey man, I just put it to a vote and the community (me) have decided to honour your sacrifice by making a new header/banner thing dedicated to you. Something real classy in MS paint maybe?
