They do that because as a small provider the alternative is getting wholesale banned by the third party site which affects all their customers. I encourage you to read blog posts from the people that try to run small email services that aren’t Google and Microsoft, it’s nearly impossible because website administrators are extremely quick to ban and impossible to contact. Then your customers leave when mail doesn’t work.

    I’ve caught so much vitriol on this site for the past year or two for calling out this company as being run by a shitbag.

    All I have to say is I fuckin’ told you so.

    Does the Lemmy mod log no longer show users the comments that have been removed by mods? Another user and I were recently banned from !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world for the generic reason of being a “troll account”. The thread referenced by the mod log was about Zionist genocide so the bans make me instantly suspicious. However I don’t want to go full attack dog until I see the comments that were removed.

    Can anybody help me figure out how to read my own comments that have been removed? The normal screen I go to shows me the contents of other comments that I have had removed by moderators, but this time it doesn’t.

    Also to be clear: I am not here to argue about my ban, I’m mostly just confused. The moderator who banned me has personally disliked me for a long time because I tend to call out their lies, but they never came across to me as the petty ban type, which is what makes these bans in a thread about Zionism extra suspicious.

     

    Lazily crossing out bits of normal words in a clear bid to increase comment count/engagement metrics to boost a post is on a sharp and marked rise on Lemmy. Do we need to have a more active hand in removing these posts to keep discussions from getting polluted? It’s really quite tedious to see it happening so often.
