I just looked through the communities they mod. Unless you are dying to engage with illegalimigration, mixedrace, revelation, askconspiracytheorists, antiwitchcraft, fluoride, chemtrails, or newworldorder, I don't think anything of value was lost.
Antiwitchcraft
What year is it? 1576?
Who cares tho?
They also moderate.
Just wait until 3001 AD and the ban will expire. Since he's clearly not a fan of transhumanism or other such fields of study he probably won't still be around then to extend it.
I'm not the biggest fan of public voting over here. I have a feeling in the long run it will cause way too much conflict. I've already had a run in with someone over here because I downvoted them and I'm not a super active user.
On the other hand it's kinda funny to see when someone has clearly trawled your profile and reduced everything based on reading a conversation from a week ago.
It's also really good when you're having a discussion and getting 1 downvote each time, to be able to just look to see whether it's the person you're having the conversation with.
Occasionally people are not enjoying a discussion but instead of ending it they passive-aggressively downvote, and if I figure that out, I can just end the conversation and release them from their misery.
That same user downvoted every single post in a magazine I moderate. Completely unprovoked
lol they moderate 59 subs
There really does need to be a limit of how many magazines you're allowed to moderate. There's no way you can effectively moderate 59 different communities.
Why did you block him/her?
Also, I didn't even know until now that we have supermods in kbin/lemmy. Lol.
Personally, I have a pretty low bar for blocking other users here. If I find someone consistently annoying or negativistic I'm better off not seeing their posts, even if they're not actively trolling. It's not a public punishment or anything, they won't be affected at all, and I get to spend less time reading content that doesn't interest me.
Do folks get an alert when you block them?
Lmao - gotta say it's creative. There are trolls on my ban list that could use a multi-century sentence.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how did they know you had blocked them?
Just found out it's possible to ban users from a sub... and that it's possible to use a custom CSS??? Wow, OK. I should maybe spend some time on that.

It's not, really. Just make a different account. The key advantage of fediverse is that you can never be banned from a group and have it stick.

That characteristic is a double edged sword. It's a disadvantage if you want to keep trolls out.
