I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed

    It’s a major bugbear of mine that people do this, but because their display name is significantly different from their username in a non-obvious way, you haven’t actually tagged them. Neither has @goat@sh.itjust.works.

    To tag ikt, you have to do @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone.

      That’s actually the fault of the modlog. It should not be showing a display name instead of their username.

        IMO it’s primarily a fault of Lemmy for even allowing users to do that, and secondarily of users for using it in a way that makes it unobvious (e.g. funny fonts, pronouns, etc. are “obvious” changes that are unlikely to trip people up like this).
