    What are “warning presets” in the Mastodon admin UI, and why is it so hard to find information about it? 😅

    I presume this is just not super relevant to me as the admin of a family-only (effectively single-user) instance, but maybe there could be some explanatory text on this page, and some info in the docs. I’d be happy to contribute that if only I knew what it was!

      @cassidy sounds like a content moderation thing? Premade messages for timing people out, perhaps

        @cassidy

        Yes. It’s used to send messages when you issue account warning or other infractions.

        I most often use it to warn for inactivity, those who sign up but never interact with anyone. I composed an email with explanation and links on how to get help to use the service (including just answering to talk to me).

        The things we do.

          @cassidy Here's a good bit on it:

          "Sending official warnings to members who are doing bad stuff
          If there’s a member of your server who has done something bad but you don’t yet want to restrict their account, you can send them an official private warning about it."

          It goes on about the warning presets.
