Not saying that our mods here aren’t doing a great job! Just the opposite! I think they are doing a phenomenal job! However, as users we should keep an eye on the logs to make sure power is kept in check. You can always view the modlog at the bottom of your browser window!

    I always check the modlog and instances before joining an instance. Don’t want to make that beehaw mistake of having your entire feed nuked because the mods suck

        Beehaw has recently blocked basically every other instance.

        They are a different server, yeah. So you’re on discuss.tchncs.de, and I’m on sh.itjust.works, these are two different servers but we can interact just fine.

        Beehaw, on the other hand, cannot interact with sh.it users and vice versa.

    One of the best things about open source software - there is no need to hide useful information from your user base. A concept largely forgotten in today corporate hemisphere.

    As you mentioned, I think the mods have done a fantastic job given the learning curve and lack of mod tools. This is just a good tool for accountability and transparency. Keep it up!

      yet only the instance admins can see my total karma point sum while I can’t. It seems this has been removed to prevent “karma farming”. I don’t get it.

        I thought it wasn’t available to anyone, but why would you want to view it? I never felt the karma system added much to reddit except the aforementioned karma farmers

        I’m not really for or against it though

    This is super good to know. I’m planning on eventually spinning up my own server, basically for this reason, but the transparency of being able to audit mod behavior is awesome.
