That would be akin to saying that removing my post is the same as “inciting terrorism” because it makes me want to act out.
But again, missing the point. We can both make assumptions but u less I’m told by a mod why my post was removed I can’t even be sure it was mod action and not a bug in the system.
I’m going to assume it’s a bug until I do have clarification because I wouldn’t want to assume incompetence.
Great, so because of a lack of automated notification I’m left to assume whether it’s a bug or mod action? How does that resolve the problem for anybody?
If I assume. It’s a bug and I repost I risk a ban, so I stop contributing.
If I assume it’s a mod removal, but don’t know what rule I broke or why, I don’t have a clear understanding so I stop contributing.
Neither of these things allow me to understand why my content was not suitable and dissuade me from contributing, and if this is happening a lot it is probably damaging the ability for new contributers looking to engage.
This was my first post after all and I don’t know why it was removed. Why should I try to contribute ever again?
oh its a mod action, i can see it. first post, new to lemmy gets removed. seems pretty normal imo, shitposting is a risky place to try to FP that topic.
You can, but I can’t. As a new user trying to figure out a new platform a lack of information availability and communication of mod actions feels kind of counterintuitive to understanding when I am encountering a bug or crossing a line that I don’t understand. Neither of which is going to make wanting to contribute to the new platform I’m on out of uncertainty.
I don’t disagree though as a 16+ year reddit user, I can’t say I haven’t see exactly this on more than one site in the past. I’d also suggest that not every instance is “just like reddit” what might fly here will get you banned or censured on some instances, moderated on others.
I don’t have any issue with the rules or the actions taken, just the lack of transparency for new users who aren’t provided anythin except a post counter that’s one less than earlier.
You have been given the answers you seek. There is no place for mod actions to be viewed except for the modlog which is mentioned in the instance rules and about. On Lemmy, you always want to read the rules before posting because of events like this. I’m not saying its good we should get a notification. But you are beginning to repeat yourself and the answer has been given, satisfactory or not.
My point is this isn’t really a discussion. Its people answering your frustrations and mentioning it is known and you replying that the feature isn’t there in recursive fashion.
It’s not known to literally hundreds of thousands of new users though is it? You knowing something doesn’t help everyone else does it. Or are you ignorant of everyone who isn’t you?
None on personal computer. On school computer I have Foxy Proxy. There’s school proxy server and I kind of provide 2 of my own. For that I use Android Proxy server app from Google Play. Unfortunately I didn’t find anything similar on F-Droid.
First one is HTTP proxy which allows me to go through VPN and use DNS server of my choice and second is TCP relay to Orbot because why not. So I can just connect to school WiFi and start those proxy servers. I also tried SOCKS5, but that seems to ignore my DNS settings, so I don’t use that. Also I don’t need it anyway.
It allows me to quickly switch between proxy servers. Pretty convenient.
