  • Wow. I really hate reposts and cross-posts, and I block the accounts that make them.
    I sort of thought I was alone in that, figured other people must enjoy that crap.
    I am amazed to see my exact viewpoint expressed here a couple hundred times over.

    As to the point the post makes, I’m new to moderation, and I read the post because that seemed like a subject I should review.
    The post looks like useless hand wringing to me.

    I don’t see anything worth concern with lemmy moderation.
    I’ve pissed off a couple mods in my time on lemmy and gotten banned. Every one of them was a community I have disagreements with, and its fine that we don’t talk.
    I don’t feel I have ever been treated unfairly. In fact, the only mod action I ever disagreed with on lemmy was reversed after I discussed it with him on YPTB.

    Two reasons.

    You were responding to someone who offered a /24 as a subnet.
    There are 32 bits in an IPv4 address. /24 is 255.255.255.0.
    So they were wrong too in reference to IPv6, but at least they were making sense.
    You responded with /128, which is the full range of the IPv6 address.
    That would be like the prior poster saying /32 aka 255.255.255.255.
    There’s no usable range there.

    And, see my post above for the rest of the breakdown, but you were looking for /64.
