why shouldn’t the email filter be enabled?
I have to admit that it doesn’t do much for us, as the support emails we have in sidebars and posts are unfortunately federated to other instances where they’re not getting obfuscated and will be crawled there, but we do have contact emails on the website. I’m currently not aware of any issues caused by that.

glad to at least have confirmation that this isn’t just us, thanks!
do you remember whether this has still been happening while lemm.ee was on lemmy 0.19.5 or 0.19.8?
- Comment on Lemmy.world appears to have briefly logged me in as a completely different user (twice)? 6 days ago:
that has nothing to do with this issue.

we’re not running any modifications that would impact caching and we don’t have any custom caching logic. we’re only caching what lemmy/lemmy-ui return as cacheable, which suggests that the issue is likely in one of those services, however, i couldn’t find it in either one.
it’s also rare enough that it’s extremely difficult to troubleshoot, as we see people report this maybe once or twice every few months but without any useful information that would allow us to look into this further than trying to find bugs in related code just from the general symptom of seemingly invalid cache.
additionally, the impact of this should be fairly low, as, unless this somehow impacts private messages as well, no data would be returned that isn’t already otherwise public. with this seemingly “just” being a caching issue, there is also no risk at impersonating other users.
nonetheless i agree that this should not be happening in the first place, even if it’s rare and the impact appears limited.

I already followed various code paths to try and see where Lemmy might be setting incorrect caching headers without finding anything and nothing in the relevant code seems to have been changed between 0.19.3 and newer 0.19 releases.
I’m still unsure if we’re just seeing it more frequently due to a larger number of users and us also having a “proper” caching setup and in practice it would happen on other instances as well or whether it’s somehow something that others just don’t see due to not being on 0.19.3.

we’re still unsure what might be causing this, but we’ll be updating to 0.19.8 soon. maybe that’ll fix this issue.

could be that it’s the same thing, in this case it’s the result of a user deleting their account.

you seem to be lost.
this community is about lemmy.world, not a general support community.
- Comment on Am I ugly? 6 days ago:
unfortunately it seems that people are trusting google search results to be accurate without following links.
as far as I can tell this is a combination of reddit returning the subreddit creation date as the timestamp that will show up in search results yet including images of recent posts, which google will then use as an indicator of “the image exists on this page”. this will lead to a 7 year old subreddit with recent posts showing as the image being present on a 7 year old search result. if people actually follow the link they’ll see it’s just a link to the subreddit and not to an individual post.
- Comment on Am I ugly? 6 days ago:
are there actually this old posts?
this seems like google + reddit being a shitty combination. i’m seeing fewer results but the two results i get that are 7 years old are just links to the subreddit, not to posts, which is likely throwing off the date on there.
other reverse image searches like tineye don’t show any prior images, so it’s very likely that you’re just fooled by misleading search results.
unless you can produce links or other evidence about actual 7 year old content please correct your comment.
I have already commented the same on the other post.

might still have been related, i guess we’ll never know.
the rule i changed did look like it had some false positives at least, so even if it wasn’t that it should fix issues that could have been experienced by others randomly.
- Comment on Blocked Users list : full at aprox 250 entries 1 week ago:
there is a possibility that this was caused by a cloudflare rule that was not scoped narrowly enough to achieve what it’s intended for. does this issue still persist for you?
- Comment on Blocked Users list : full at aprox 250 entries 1 week ago:
while it would likely be a good idea to limit this, i don’t see a limit in the code that would prevent from blocking more users. what’s the actual error message you’re seeing?

the existence of an automod bot in a moderator position does not indicate anything about the extent of human moderation.
the human moderators are still active on lemmy and content is being moderated.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
are you referring to !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world?
that community is actively moderated and therefore not eligible for transfer, but you’re welcome to reach out to the mod team with your suggestions.
you can also consider creating a new community with a different name if you’re not in agreement with their moderation decisions and can’t/don’t want to discuss that with them.
if you’re referring to another community please link it to make it clear which one it is.

hello @6iiiiii@lemmy.world, are you still reading your notifications?
- Comment on Issue with Lemmy "shitpost" group 3 weeks ago:
as far as I can tell you had previously been banned from the community, but it seems that the modlog entry for that had not been created due to a bug in lemmy.
i can see that a moderator has since removed the community ban and i believe you should be able to comment there now.

hi, you’ll probably have a better experience here if you tag your post with the correct language or post in english.
note that this isn’t available in all interfaces/clients, but the default web interface supports this.
alternatively, you could see if there are any spanish gaming communities to participate in.
i don’t speak spanish, but this community looks like it might be better suited: !videojuegos@feddit.cl
- Comment on Automod has a reply button, does it go anywhere? 1 month ago:
they’re generally not read. it’s just a bot account.
we need to update the text there to clarify that, it’s come up a few times already, including people reporting automod pms.
in most cases these pms are a result of community moderator actions, so it’s generally recommended to contact the community mods about this.
- Comment on What's wrong with lemmy.world federation? 1 month ago:
I’ve seen others report this before, it seems to be kinda random, as this works fine for most other users. Individual posts sometimes don’t get accepted by Lemmy, but I don’t currently know what is causing that.
- Comment on Mod only Matrix room 2 months ago:
it depends on what you’re looking for.
there is a room for lemmy moderation in general, not associated with LW, but there isn’t much activity: #lemmy-support-moderation:discuss.online
for LW we currently only have our mod coordination discord, which you seem to have joined already. you’ll need to use the
/verifycommand to link your lemmy account though before you get access to the channels. - Comment on How come I am now @patnou instead of Don_Dickle.

at least US SSN is 9 digit so I think it’s fake, otherwise I fully agree

you did just a few days ago when you sent that email.

no. you sent us an email from the address linked to the other account, which clearly proves that you still have access to that email address. control over that email address is how you prove that the account belongs to you.
you can use the forgot password link visible on the login page to receive an email to set a new password for the lemmy account as long as you have access to the linked email address.

please at least try to make an effort to understand technology.
after we received the email about account recovery from the email address linked to Don_Dickle we sent instructions there for how to regain access to that account.
- Comment on Lemmy.world is automatically logging me out after I login and press the refresh button. I have attached a video of this glitch to this post 2 months ago:
this is a known issue with Firefox that started several firefox versions ago. there has been a change in cookie handling in lemmy since then to address that. we’re currently reviewing our next steps regarding updating to a newer lemmy version and will post about that in the next days.
- Comment on What does deleting a post or comment actually do? 2 months ago:
Deleting posts or comments is a best effort attempt at removing it from public view.
Due to the federated nature of Lemmy, any time content is posted and sent to other instances, we lose control over what happens next. When content is marked as deleted on our end, this sends a “please delete this” message to other instances, but there is no way to enforce this, as that content is no longer stored on our infrastructure. Once content is publicly accessible on the internet, there is no way to ensure that it gets removed again. Even if all fediverse instances are cooperating and honoring deletion requests, there may be federation issues causing the deletion request being lost, or external actors that just scrape Lemmy or the larger internet to collect as much data as they can, with no chance of the original creator being able to get it purged. Depending on the data, this may no be legal in some jurisdictions, such as EU having the “right to be forgotten” and similar laws.
Additionally, the Lemmy version we are currently using has a bug, where under some circumstances contents of deleted and removed comments are still being displayed to users. While this is expected for mod-removed comments to be visible in the modlog, this is neither expected for deleted comments nor should the comments still be displayed normally. We are looking forward to address this with the next Lemmy update we will be deploying, but we will likely have to build some custom patch for Lemmy to ensure that this does not significantly reduce our moderation experience, as the solution implemented in Lemmy essentially prevents anyone, including site admins and community moderators from seeing removed and deleted comments entirely.
This is further extended by Lemmy having a scheduled task (already in the version we are using here), which runs daily to overwrite deleted posts and comments to remove their contents once they are older than 30 days.
As is right now, if you have sensitive information that you accidentally shared in a comment and post, we recommend editing the contents prior to deletion and removing that.
