Oh ok thank you letting me know this! I was wondering if I was being ignored, but I can wait for when ernst has the time. I put my community on mod post only for now. Not really a solution, but hopefully it holds off the spam? I’m not really tech-savvy so 🤷‍♂️

I’m the mod, my accounts instance is sh.itjust.works and the community (!oddlyspecificplaylists) is on sh.itjust.works. From sh.itjust.works I blocked the kbin spammers account, you can see it in my modlog. Their posts and block are the most recent listed. I’m not sure about defederation.

The spammer is on kbin, and the posts they are spamming aren’t showing up on sh.itjust.works, but they are showing up on kbin (and possibly other instances?) even after being blocked. They were blocked 5 days ago (from sh.itjust.works), and you can see on kbin somehow they made a post 2 days ago. Here’s the direct link, which for some reason keeps breaking the link so you have to cut n paste the address 🙄.

I’m just not sure how I can get them to stop if they are technically already blocked? And if this all wasn’t confusing enough, on kbin it says my community is moderated by the guy who does kbin (ernst) and not my mod account? I messaged him but I haven’t heard back yet.

My partner’s name is also the name of a very famous (mostly to boomers) multi-grammy award winner. He works in finance and he’s gotten the Michael Bolton experience many, many, multiple times. He says its always super awkward, with really bad jokes or people thinking they’re being clever with quips like Are you related or Do you have a new album coming out? hurr durr. But he’s also never experienced anyone under 50 noticing his name, so its slowly happening less often

Thats a great one, saw it again a few years ago and it holds up pretty well

Great movie, if anyone hasn’t seen it yet and your feeling a bit piratey: https://bflix.io/movie/harold-and-maude-7jy5j/1-1

I’m going to keep on deadnaming Elon’s company until he stops deadnaming his trans kid, so it’ll probably always be twitter to me

Non-tech, and going back for nursing. I’ve been on the internet since the 90s and I love computers (and tech in general) but I’m not very tech-inclined

Just use “they” by default (or the persons name) until you know what they prefer

Nikola Tesla loved a pigeon so much he spent todays rough equivalent of $34,970 on her happiness.

“I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.” Nikola Tesla (according to this biography)

Today I learned the president of the Screen Actors Guild is The Nanny (Fran Dresher)

There could be alternate vote for agreement, funny, or troll mark.

Yeah I like this, definitely a troll button next to the vote buttons would be really useful for users to self-moderate comments
