What's the wrongest thing a teacher ever told you? in c/[email protected]

We had a teacher that said phones could give you cancer due to radiation and the classic 5G causes X conspiracy theories. Certainly wasn't the worst teacher imo though.

How to reach an admin (through the bulletin board)? (lemmy.world)

I have reported an account 8 months and sent a DM to the admin, but I haven't received a response yet and saw the account is still up after being reminded of the situation by the recent moderation issues. I have tried to email their abuse email address, but it seems to be non-functional (proton mailer sends back a delivery error).

I have heard from an SDF user that messages can be sent to the bulletin board to reach the admin. However, I have no experience using a bulletin board. I've made an SDF account and tried to post a message today in the REQUESTS section, but it doesn't show up in the listing.

Does anyone know if my post was successful, and if not, why? Or does anyone know how to reach an admin through other means?

UPDATE: My first attempt was successful, but the system just needed some time to process it.

Tried reporting some of the abuse on SDF and the Nazi troll just banned me for being a "Libtard" in c/[email protected]

Thanks, I just tried to create a post, but it doesn't show up. Is this normal? It did say that it was queuing?

I hate this trend so much. I very much prefer just being referred to as the group that is being targeted with the message. Our school does this and I have gotten plenty of messages like "Hello qaz, You haven't turned anything in for the X assignment yet due today" to then find out it's not just for a course I'm not following, but also a course that isn't even part of my study altogether. I have gotten these incorrect messages for so many courses, mostly business management classes (probably because they're less adapt with our online course platform, but I don't blame them, the UX is awful)

Keep in mind that in practice this didn't work that well, it wasn't very efficient at displaying modern interfaces over the network. Showing a simple text editor over LAN worked fine, but using Firefox from another place was quite spotty.

The infamous "if loop" actually exists in c/[email protected]

That actually seemed quite useful at first.

That's unlikely, the additional R&D cost probably won't weigh up to the costs incurred by the small minority that removes it.

What’s with the porn without the nsfw tags on lemmy.sdf.org recently? in c/[email protected]

It certainly seems so to me. They haven't responded to my reports in 8 months and their abuse email points to a broken SMTP server

I, did it. I found myself a grulefriend in c/[email protected]

I've seen reports that were unaddressed for months on end. I've reported some pretty bad shit (and send additional messages) and haven't heard anything despite that being months ago. They've been having issues for a long time afaik.

I'm not sure, it was last updated a couple days ago, so it's still being maintained. However, it does feel like there is only a sysadmin and nobody actually looks what's happening on the instance itself.
