Ash hole? No, it’s the Mt. St. Helussy

No worries! All our different platforms are doing their best! 😎

As far as I can tell, Fedia allows me to directly upload one image from the filesystem (not the clipboard) when submitting a new thread. I confess I was too lazy to open Paint and stitch together all the mod log images. 😔

🤔 Deobfuscating the mod name would require me to be an instance admin, right? My screenshots were taken directly from my instance’s mod log. I took that to mean the moderation actions were done publicly (not set to anonymous by the moderator). Since the rule didn’t say “Always censor mod names” I thought I was doing things right. I suppose it’s possible there is an inconsistency in how Fedia displays the mod log, but I do see anonymous mod actions in there from time to time, so I don’t think it’s a case of Fedia not respecting the anonymity settings…

Anyway, I’ll go back and edit the images in the original post to use the embed format for convenience. (They show up as expandos here regardless.)

I could have embedded the screenshots instead I suppose, but honestly I struggle to remember how to do that on fedi sites because I don’t do it very often.

I do have one post among the comments that were deleted, but I wanted to give a more zoomed-out overview of the goings-on rather than focusing on my own comment. If that’s not close enough to the desired format, then my bad… If that’s not what you’re referring to, though, I wouldn’t mind more specifics?

The expandos aren’t loading right on Fedia, but I can click through the direct links without issue. I’ve been using Imgur for a while because it had an easy integration with ShareX. Happy to take suggestions for another image host if you have some though, I’m sure I’m behind the times on this.

To clarify, there’s definitely some outright flaming and incivility in there that warranted deletion, but there’s a lot of valid comments and constructive criticism that got removed, too.

There’s no formal rules on this comm except “be civil”.

There is also a fair amount of deflecting in the thread (“I’m not affiliated with the movement, I’m just sharing it”) in response to posts that stayed up - I feel like if you’re sharing something on your own community, you ought to be prepared to have a discussion about it. You thought it was worth posting, so there are probably reasons you thought that, right?
