  • I usually broke the other way on modding and let people get away with shit for far too long. In fact, if they were arguing with me directly, I let them get away with behaviour that I’d immediately ban them for if they were pulling it on other users. I didn’t want to be accused of using my banhammer just to win arguments.

    I find Lemmy’s modding to be way more aggressive and arbitrary than most of what I ever saw on Reddit, unfortunately. Certainly more agressive than I would do myself.











  • Years ago I had a registrar go tits up without warning, taking about 70-80 active domains for an MSP’s customers with it. I managed their email servers and DNS, which was with the registar, of course. It was a bloody nightmare to recover that situation. Because we couldn’t supply them a DNS change to prove our control of the DNS, hence ownership of the domain, we had to individually affadavit each domain. Took weeks.

    I get you don’t think it’s important, but there’s plenty of sysadmins that do, with experience backing that up.
