ID: photo of two friends looking at a phone together, laughing, above is text: “Hitting “delete” after reading the first sentence of an entire essay that some bigoted potato took the time to write in my comments.”
Is there a way to “shadow delete” a comment or shadow ban a person on lemmy so that they do not know their bigotry is being silenced?
I’m not sure from a mod or admin point of view (while I am a mod in one community as a backup, I’ve not done any moderating myself), but I know that if you block a person on your own account, the only indication they’d have is that you don’t reply.
From what I understand it’s actually quite a difficult issue to address on the fediverse, since content is mirrored on so many instances, deleting or blocking it on one would have very little to no impact on other instances, and obviously ban evasion is much harder to spot, since anyone can open as many accounts on as many instances as they like. I would imagine it makes it really hard to stay on top of shit that comes in, especially the worst things like sexual content containing children.
unspecified MtF person: oh you silly billy, unspecified straight onlooker: haven’t heard that in a long time, bigot: absolute scream of rage.
this came into my head when some random time i heard silly billy being used and I’ve been wanting to get it out ever since.
See? Bigotry, evil queer-phobic cishets, unnecessarily evil blogs?
- gone - !
I had to look up what platform let’s you delete other people’s comments. Is this an Instagram joke?
I thought it was about mods.
Can replace it with block button and the meme still works tbh
I can delete other people’s comments on my tumblr posts
No, it’s a secret Jira ad
Tumblr used to let you edit other people’s comments. That’s close, right?
No way that’s so funny
Honestly I thought it was a “delete my own shitpost” type meme.
I don’t do a whole of of this whole “social media” thing
Mod privilege is being able to erase bigots with a click of a button
Also why good moderation is so important
BlueSky does I think. Perhaps not exactly, but it lets you remove quotes people made on your posts, or something like that.
I don’t know, don’t think it matters, just substitute delete for block and it works… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Me on reddit, when op deletes his post and I want to answer to a comment…
That’s fair!
I got excited for a minute and checked if we could do that on Lemmy lol
Yeah, that prospect would get me excited too lol
cue other bigot that thinks that this makes it an echo chamber
“why don’t you respond to criticism”
They’re welcome to scream in to the void until they’re blue in the face, I won’t be listening 😂
You sound lonely
you must be a sexy AI lady
Hey, no body shaming.
So, you don’t have a body? She admitted it!
Dude, your sock puppet account is so obvious.
exercising freedom of association makes you lonely

Freedom of being selfishness is not the great value you believe it is.
All English words, strung together in a decidedly un-english format.
*selfish. Auto correct added the “ness”. You should be able to read a sentence with a word a bit wrong. I can do that, even though English is my third language. I believe in you to be able to do that as well.
Incomprehensible, have a nice day
And you sound like a bigot who feels personally attacked and is getting defensive… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You got all that from three words. Loser
You got all that from three words
Lmfao, yeah pretty much… You’re not as complex or special as you like to think you are, just another generic clown… 😂
If empathy means clown for you and being rude is your attitude of socializing. Then yeah, everything I said is true. Keep trying to deny it.
I hate to waste any more time on you, but also I could use a good laugh - please, enlighten us, who is it you are so empathetic towards in this post? 🤔
Stop being simple and predictable then?
I said three words and looks like I was right. I mean who acts this selfish must be very lonely. I hit the nail on the head.
Holy shit, you’re like a walking meme. “I am 14 and this is very deep” energy.
(╭☞´ิ∀´ิ)╭☞
on one hand having a nuanced opinion instantly dismissed because you opened with wrong think is fucking retarded.
on the other hand the internet is the wrong place for nuance, publish your essay somewhere else.
Found the bigoted potato
On the only hand that matters - ableists get blocked and reported.
big tate hate failed French & fried rule
Unfunny double layer joke on joke but your meme is pretty
