At this point stuff like this isn’t oniony anymore, just trump supporters being trump supporters.

You can always sell it if you end up not using it.

He was fighting inflation

The lemmy devs are a bit slow, give em some time.

Damn… seeing the faces of the victims makes the impact even bigger.

They objectively make more eco friendly products than most if not all other companies. They’re still a company so they make shitty decision from time to time, but in general they are quit good.

Microsoft knows that if they start tampering with that they will get into all kind of shit antitrust wise. Proton is a pretty small project from their perspective, so it’s really not worth the risk and/or public backlash.

Set up by himself

Just gonna lock this post for now, don’t want to start some kind of fight in a community that is not meant for stuff like that.

If anyone has anything to add to this, you can contact me or mail us at info@lemmy.world. Thank you.

I can’t really say much more then that I disagree with your assessment that our rules are to lax. We do our best to balance giving communities the possibility to regulate themselves, and the need to regulate stuff on an instance level. The nice thing about lemmy is that if you don’t like the way we do stuff, you can always move to another community or even instance, in that way alone it’s better here than on reddit (just to make sure I’m understood correctly, that doesn’t mean we don’t want you to be here).

Yea… though please don’t do that again. I will not remove this post (the local mods might) because it got so much traction, but next time I will.

I see. Well two remarks about that:

one his own users accept given that’s apparently what people were reporting others for

That doesn’t really make sense to me, the existence of a report doesn’t mean that users agree.

Second remark, I agree that it wasn’t classy to threaten a ban like that, I told the mod this. Do I think this shows that the mod is inherently incapable of modding like you seem to do? No, as mods are also humans with emotions.

I don’t see how you could think that I would ban you? I don’t ban people for discussing stuff with me.

I did read the whole-ass thread, but I don’t see any reference to comments that should have been deleted because of rule 1. The rules of that community do not have rules against bad-faith arguments. Maybe it should, but it is shitposting after all. I don’t really see the issue.

And I do care about your feeling about the modding, otherwise I wouldn’t really be having this conversation, now would I?

Which particular comments are you talking about? I thought the discussion was about bad faith arguments, not lack of respect?

So… what exactly are you alleging this mod is doing wrong? As far as I understand they asked someone to stop reporting stuff that wasn’t against the rules. You then told them they where selfish, lazy and unwilling to do their job and that they should step down. That seems a violation of rule 1, or am I interpreting it wrongly?

Just reacting on behave of the admin team, let me investigate, and next time, we do have an email address which would be more appropriate to send complaints like these to.

As mentioned before there is indeed an API. Please keep in mind that some instances have rules on how to run a bot. On lemmy.world for instance you need express permission from the mods of the community you are using the bot in, you should obviously mark the bot account as a bot account and the name should make it clear that it is in fact a bot.

I really like solution 3, I hope that get’s implemented at some time. Though one potential problem is; what if pancakes@a.com is subscribed to pancaked@b.com and a user from e.com, who is defederated from b.com but not to a.com, tries to browse pancakes@a.com? Would they see the posts from pancakes@b.com?

If yes, that seems like a way to go around defederation, which I think is not a good thing always.

If no, how do you prevent the user from accidentally reposting something that they could have no way of knowing was already posted?

Different sites use different ways of calculating but often a user is considered active if they posted anything in x amount of days.

So all lemmy servers can communicate with eachother, unless a server decided to “defederate” with another which cuts the connection.

Futhermore, mastodon and other fediverse projects can also communicate with lemmy and back, but since the format of the posts and comments is a bit different this might take some work for the devs to get working completely correctly.
