So for some fucktastically stupid reason, the automod replies to removed messages provides a link that only returns a server error.
Secondly, the reply message does not even tell you the community it was posted in.
How the FUCK are we supposed to know what we did wrong if we can’t see it?
You could check the mod log for entries related to your user ID. I’m guessing it was the thing about eating every inch of your ass and coming back for seconds but there are other candidates.
The username feels related to the context of the post lol
How do I find my user ID ? there seem to be several other users with the same name as me
When you go to the mod log, you can start typing your name into the user search box until the auto-complete entries come up. Select the one that shows your name and the instance where you signed up.
In this case, it should be #45808. I don’t see any mod actions listed for that ID. Another post mentioned the possibility of missing entries in case there’s something in particular you’re looking for and not finding.

Ok that is a fucking brilliant feature I had no idea existed.

Hehe what a shame I really liked that one. Yeah it was needlessly caustic but I suffer from EDS and it’s not completely voluntary.
Thanks again for the tip.
Update: Oh shit I had a lot of comments removed and apparently a community ban for my username. lol.
I’m not here to cause chaos, I just don’t often feel the need to curb my verbal enthusiasm.

If you’re using Jerboa, possibly other apps idk, you can only click on links successfully if they are from the same instance as your own account. There is no way to send links to posts/comments instance-agnostically. You can open the link in a browser and it should take you to the post, where you can figure out what you commented.
Oh I’m not on mobile. I don’t have a smartphone. Not because I am a luddite but because I am an addict. Reddit consumed my life and in 2017 I switched back to a clamshell in self-preservation.

I do and it just gives me a server error, no referernce to the community in the body or the address.

My username is my username for a reason.
Mods everywhere are assholes, sooooo many assholes.
Its the end point for mods.
Even ones that start out good.
You can only do the job for so long before you become jaded, indifferent, mad with power, etc.
Power corrupts and all that.
I’d like to hope that it’s possible for some people to hold out and moderate effectively, such as by self reflection to make sure
jaded, indifferent, mad with power, etc.
isn’t happening. Then again, I didn’t moderate the massive subs on Reddit so maybe it gets harder with those.
Having a mod code of conduct / best practices would help avoid some of these issues on Lemmy
Mod code of conduct only works when someone above the mods gives a fuck about enforcing it.
and as we saw with reddit, the only time admins stepped in to deal with mods was…when subreddits were protesting reddits own bullshit.
You could limit the damage by at least preventing people from amassing ridiculous amounts of power by becoming moderators on hundreds/thousands of subsites.
Sure, but for the time being the admins on Lemmy are actively trying to set up something better than Reddit. Without the profit incentive, that might continue to happen
I agree about the power mods problem
Still have admins and mods. Cant reinvent the wheel, all you’ll end up doing is creating a more convoluted and obtuse wheel.
That function can be crowdsourced, you don’t need individuals to moderate effectively, you just need an engaged userbase with 10% responsible people.
Oh there are good mods but they are always forced out by the bad because admins can’t tell the difference and there are a fucktonne more bad than good.
