By the ways, thanks @rikudou@lemmings.world for maintaining it!
Are you using this @Blaze@feddit.org ?
No, usually I have an alt account that I use mostly for modding. Avoid having the big M next to any comment I make with Blaze
Probably a silly question, but I’m far from being an expert at moderating: may I ask how you manage multiple accounts? You need to log in and log out every time you want to step in your mod uniform?
The trick is to use one account per instance. For example, I have
- feddit.org, this account, to discuss meta things about the Fediverse
- sopuli.xyz for interest discussions (!movies@lemm.ee, !showsandmovies@lemm.ee, etc.)
- lemm.ee is the account is use to mod most of the communities
I just have the three tabs open in the browser, and switch from one to another. It would be better to have multicommunities, but that’s still ongoing
Thx a lot! That’s an excellent idea. Maybe I will do exactly that as, quite frankly, I’m not at all happy to see that capital ‘M’ next to my name whenever I post something. I would prefer to be a ‘simple’ user like any other community member.
Feel free! As you are a French speaker, you can consider using https://lemmy.ca/ and https://sh.itjust.works/, those are canadian instances.
And !journaling@sh.itjust.works is already on SJW, so if you get a SJW account, you can appoint that account as the mod, and you’ll get the reports there too!
Done. I will keep the old Mod account as Mod for a few days, just in case, but it will be ‘downgraded’ to a preferred normal user status asap ;)
Thx again for the suggestion.
2 quick downvotes? Why?

There’s a typo in the post title, maybe that’s it? Touch interfaces also make people prone to fat fingering accidental downvotes.
Alternatively, a lot of people are just cunts who like to downvote.
I have no skin in this game, but I have noticed you populate your own threads with comments that might as well fit in the body of your post.
Related? I don’t know, but this felt like a good time to tell you.
Sure, but that’s definitely not the case here, as pings only worked in comments and not the body posts.
I do it from time to time to fight the “empty dancefloor” effect that sometimes prevent people from commenting. I’ve done some testing in the past, and having at least one comment usually helps to get others, compared to having none.
The downside to it I guess is that with the default hot sorting, your comment tends to get pushed down leading to posts not having much context until you’ve scrolled down the comments somewhat
That’s fine, most of the time the context is in the OP, I just add my personal opinion in the comment

You aren’t the only one doing this and it’s pretty harmless. Don’t sweat it imo.
I’m biased though because I agree with you that it does seem to lead to better post engagement than just adding info to the body of the post.
Thanks. Another aspect is that sometimes you want people to be able to upvote your opinion independently from the post, so it makes sense to have a separated comment
