Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

False alarm! Its such weird timing to make this crucial change.
I'd have to go make an account on sopuli.xyz and flip off the NSFW filter to test it, but I bet that's it, as it looks like it wasn't flagged as NSFW on the last archive.org snapshot from October 7:
https://web.archive.org/web/20241007001648/https://sopuli.xyz/c/ukraine
Well, that makes me feel better.
It looks like something broke on their system. When I try to view the community directly on sopuli.xyz, I don't see any posts:
I see comments up to one hour ago.
EDIT: Note that there's also the "War in Ukraine" community at [email protected], but that gets far less traffic.
EDIT2: I don't see obvious modlog activity removing posts.
EDIT3: Hmm. It's specific to that community. [email protected] is functional: https://sopuli.xyz/c/steamdeck
EDIT4: The list of mods on that community has not changed since this archive.org snapshot of the page on October 7, so I don't think that it's a case of someone getting mod authority and wiping everything and me just not understanding how to see it in the modlog. Or at least if so, that account is no longer listed as a mod.
EDIT5: Also posted on that instance's [email protected] community, which looks like it's the one for instance discussion; hopefully that may catch someone's eye.
@[email protected], you're maybe the heaviest poster there.
@[email protected], you're a mod.
@[email protected], you're a mod.
@[email protected], you're a mod.
Any of you guys know what's going on?
I changed the community to NSFW because people were complaining that drone footage cutting to static was NSFW and displaying in 'All'.
Edit: To be clear I do not think this is NSFW and would gladly revert to not-NSFW if admins and community don't care about the inevitable complaints.
Also, @[email protected] and @[email protected] are the instance admins. Pinging to let them know in case there was a compromise of the instance.
At least, I hope I pinged them. I think that using the @username@instance syntax causes a user to receive a message...
They should see the ping in their inbox.
I hear you! Seems that the community was set as NSFW so it isn't visible for users who haven't enabled NSFW content. Due to the community's content it's rather obvious why it was set as NSFW. It's up to the community's moderators to set the community as SFW if they want so. Even though I'm Sopuli's admin, I can't edit communities I don't also moderate.
I wasn’t banned for posting too many articles according to the modlogs.
No, I wasn't suggesting that, but mods can delete posts. I was thinking that maybe someone could have compromised a mod account and wiped all the posts, or been recently granted mod power and abused their position. Probably some people out there who don't much like that community.
It is concerning this is occurring during the us election.
