Mod actions are public on Lemmy, here's the modlog of actions related to your account: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=1589367
The comment on these actions is:
The ban will expire in 3 days.
Oh cool, thanks. I guess I’m getting a little app-heavy these days. I’ve been trying to find this info for a while.
No problem, dipshit.
Is that message not sent to the user? It should be.
I haven't been moderated a lot, but I believe the user gets no indication they've been moderated unless the mod replies to them or DMs them to tell them.
I agree that auto-notificiation would be beneficial. Despite the easy availability of the modlog, this kind of question is pretty common. Not everyone knows it exists or how to search it.
This was my experience, FWIW.
A big huge kick message that let me know of my sins before posting my next comment would’ve helped a bit. Banning also works, but without a clear message sent to the user, I imagine there would be a lot of messages like mine, maybe more tersely worded.
It wasn’t sent to me on my client, which is liftoff. I do see that I have a “banned from community” flair which is a nice touch.
Photon supports automatically replying/messaging with the reason it was removed, with support for custom templates.
There is an option built into photon that will automatically message the user. I haven't had the opportunity to try this yet.
