Bug reports on any software

When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

A moderator deleted one of my posts for being off topic. I received no notification. It’s mere chance that I realized my post was silently removed, at which point I checked to modlog where a reason was given.

Users can filter sitewide modlogs on their own account to see the actions against them (great!) -- but there should also be a notification.

Just to add to the topic of transparency: I've noticed that lemmy appears to censor the B word, but there's no mods checking the content (from what I can tell), it just auto changes the word to say "removed."

Oddly enough, the B word seems to be the only word (swear or otherwise) that's censored in such a way.

Fuck shit ass cock dick

removed (B word)

Genuinely can't tell if this is in error, or if there's someone higher in the chain that got called a removed and is taking it really personally.

Mods here, similar to on Reddit, seem to be the type that makes being a mod their whole world. They go on righteous crusades for their various causes quite often.

It is a stark reminder that the Lemmy janitors have the same delusions of power that the Reddit janitors had. With the massive population increase caused by an activity that made a lot of Reddit mods angry, you have a lot of that type here.

It is what it is. I just tend to ignore votes and censoring. Or more laugh at it.

Of my two dogs, the bitch is my favorite.

FWIW, I started a thread about the B word in the slur filter here:

Most importantly, I think authors should be notified when their message is edited by someone other than the author.
