I’m apparently a mod as well. I was one of the first. Not that I’ve exercised my power any. But if I saw something that clearly needed deleted or had a flag to respond to, I’d do my best to address whatever issue had come up.
Also, I don’t know precisely how I became a mod. I assumed VerbFlow just added me one day. (Edit: The modlog makes it seem that way.)
I can try removing you if I can figure out how. Heh… Though I doubt that’ll prevent you from just being re-added.
Sounds like you’re talking to the LW admins, which is probably a good idea.
I was about to say that maybe VerbFlow had a bot that was adding people as mods, but you’d think if a buggy bot readding you as mod was the issue, the bot readding you would show up as activity in the mod log. So, 🤷.
Edit: Ok. I figured out how to remove you as a mod. On Lemmy-UI, it’s the “more” link on the post. The bottom option for me was “remove as mod.” We’ll see how long that lasts.
Edit2: Also, @octopus_ink@lemmy.ml, could you link me to the modlog view you’ve got in the screenshot? In case more folks have this issue, I’d like to see if I can get a better understanding of what’s going haywire so hopefully I as a mod can fix it without bugging the admins (if possible.) In looking at the modlog myself, so far I haven’t found the instances of you trying to remove yourself as a mod that you have in the screenshot.
I haven’t reached out to admin yet - didn’t occur to me until it was suggested earlier and I’ve been multitasking. :)

I don’t think I’ve been removed by another mod before - so maybe somehow this time it will stick? When I do it, it does seem to work, then a day or so later I notice I’m a mod again.
You know, I wonder if the issue isn’t that the removing-yourself-as-mod action that you did on lemmy.ml maybe didn’t properly federate back to lemmy.world . That at least makes sense in my brain.

Oddly the modlog is no longer showing me usernames, only “mod”. But this is the link I’ve used unless I’m going nuts somehow:
~~https://lemmy.ml/modlog~~
No this link: https://lemmy.ml/modlog/535853 Though it does come up in the other also if you filter it.

In any case, thank you!
Glad to help! Hopefully it sticks this time. Heh.

Anyway, I’ll keep my fingers crossed. :)
I could totally see that. Thanks again!
That seems to have been the problem because I’m still not a moderator. Yay! Thanks again!
