It just baffles my mind of how some of these places are ran by the mod teams. If it wasn’t for the masses of people that still flock to them I would’ve given up a long time ago (now only check like once every two weeks), but by the evidence they (the users) just aren’t getting the help they need.

If it makes you feel any better, whoever did that also isn’t a plumber. (511 points)

That’s a bong. Sewer gas bong, specifically. Nice humblebrag.Having one in your home all built in like that, la de da, isn’t this a fancy one… (330 points)

Like 10 mods, and they don’t auto-block “new” people from posting (the post had 103 comments when it was locked). Easy to tell this wasn’t spam and it was a legitimate person looking for advice.

They suggest logging into your “main” account. As if people want to post identifying pictures of their house under an account which might have lots of references for identification. I just wish they knew how much easier it would be to make a lemmy account instead of jumping through Reddit’s hoops, could have a very robust community of tradesmen on here that would attract more people looking for advice.

    It’s all the same on lemmy.world, I had a comment deleted yesterday in /c/showerthoughts. Reason given: “Lots of generalizing going on.”

    I was not the OP, just a commenter, but the thread title was Religious people are the original “gamers…”. My now-deleted post just said I thought it was a mostly apt metaphor except that gamers don’t think their games are real. That’s it.

    So some mod is butthurt because, I don’t know… Jesus or whatever and I get my comment deleted like I did something wrong, which I didn’t. I didn’t violate any rules nor the code of conduct. It’s all the same, new boss same as the old boss.

    Edit: fucking coward, too - signs his delete using automod. Typical.
