I would say that this is perfection, if it weren't for the simple fact that most states are in far more danger of Ohio than this shows... :-D

Profits.

It used to still be a worthwhile investment though. These days... it can be, but it's not guaranteed. You also can learn most things online for free, so what is it even getting for you, really?

Connections.

But that only if you are willing to push for them, and so many kids are only there purely bc their parents send them, like an extended daycare or continuation of high school. I'm not saying it's not worthwhile, but it requires a VERY serious commitment, and so many people are not willing to live up to that.

You are very welcome. I hope you didn't feel like we were excluding you, just trying to shuffle two others of us around in the list.:-)

Update a week later: the joke is on you bc it is now twice that! (1.92k/week)

Maybe that's why PieFed is a whole day behind in federating this content:-(. A small price to pay for awesomeness 😄.

Nothing at all - you are already back in the list of mods:-). Sorry to worry you, we were just following old advice to transfer "head mod" status from myself to m_f.

It's a schism...

Hold tight - we are juggling the mod list around...

Edit: and, done!:-)

Usually I find it funny to say "por que no los dos?"... but yeah I don't think that works here!:-P

Yeah, and not just in America but the whole world it seems, if to a lesser degree. The Alt-Right on X, the Alt-Left here, and centrists on Reddit in-between the extremes who believe that everything will magically sort itself out, including things like climate change that very well might not. This was very much done to us though, even as we simultaneously did it to ourselves:-(. Just like Brexit, and so many other scenarios like that, e.g. in the global south.

Although years ago when I had a Facebook account - tied to my real name - I acted the same way that I do now (iirc?). I may not be all that representative of the average social media consumer:-P.

I like PieFed's idea of making a user have a "reputation" score. Depending on how well it is implemented, that could be really helpful.:-) Or abusive if not.:-(

Either way, all we can control is ourselves.

And I managed to finish it too, yay!

It was cleaning mold, so it really truly did just NEED to be done!

Although, they all do, really. Adulting requires much effort.:-P

Example: being at the post you want to look up (you can still search the modlog the old way too, though this is a new short-cut), click the hamburger menu and you can see either the user's or the individual post's full moderation history:

and then this is the result for that one, so note that it's the full history, not just the latest action or current status whatever:

So I mean, yeah, you do have to click once if you are interested, but you don't have to do all the convoluted filtering in order to find it, as you used to.

Here's a second example for you - you see that it is removed, and let's say that you desire to know why:

I guess it's 2 clicks b/c first the hamburger menu, then scroll to the last option, but after those 2 clicks, here's what you see - the answer that you wanted to know!?:

I don't know the rules of that community, but the mod claims that you violated multiple of them, plus used abusive language in particular - e.g. not stating "I disagree with your thoughts" but calling someone "a dumb baby" specifically.

Again, you can do whatever you want... but so too can mods, and that's a tough thing that they have to do btw, to enforce the rules that their community wants and demands that someone do for them. Start up your own community if you wish, and then you can be your own mod, but then people will end up disagreeing with you and you will experience first-hand what it is like to be in that moderator position: it is not always, nor even usually, fun - it's WORK, and most people (the kind with a conscience) feel that it's a heavy burden (though some do abuse their role, I definitely concede that point as well).
