Post CP, probably*
disclaimer
*not recommended
I don't think it would be any faster than just posting obvious spam.
As a mod, I usually have some restraint regarding bans, but blatant violations such as CP or spam are basically just down to awareness and reaction.
I mod a few popular communities, and I haven't seen CP yet. It's mostly the occasional spam and people who are still incapable of self regulating.
People who wanted to 'detox' from the chans used to do it, and if it works there it works anywhere! Well, besides certain governmental and clerical group chats, I guess. 🙃
By going to a tankie community on a tankie instance and air your opinion on the Soviet Union or ~~church name~~ China (ducking autocorrect) while citing sources
You can even get banned by the head Lemmy dev if you do that on any .ml instance lmao
Spam is the most universal one. No platform likes spam, regardless of their user base.
This is the correct answer. Larger platforms will have some kind of automatic spam filter which autobans accounts that spampost e.g. random links. Any kind of content-related ban often takes slightly longer, because you have to hit the right keywords and a human may have to rubber-stamp it.
Ask an admin.
Harass an admin.
A simple request is sufficient, I'm only a moderator, but I'm happy to accommodate a request :)
Saw someone earlier impersonating an admin (poorly).
That could be a tricky one to detect, lots of people (including OP) have accounts on different servers.
Drop the N bomb. And I don't mean nuclear.
Unless it's actually a racist community... Then I guess you'd have to swap it for Black Lives Matter or some form of "I will punch nazis in the face."
slurs and/or hatespeech
You’d be surprised
Go to a conservative community and they might make you a mod for that behavior!
Yet somehow that's a pretty big percentage of comments here.
Posting Israeli propaganda usually gets someone banned pretty quickly...
Not really related, but I did a complete 180 on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Back in the early months of the conflict I posted a comment here suggesting that bombing in Gaza was targeting Hamas strategic targets and there was evidence of "roof knocking" to warn innocent occupants of an incoming attack. I didn't realize how naive I was at the time parroting propaganda. If people hadn't continued posting evidence of the IDF and their genocide/war crimes I wouldn't have known any better.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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 !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
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.

6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
