“me, a political science pedant of highest/worst order”

Yo you single

Also the arrest by ICE on someone with a paperwork error is middle east level BS

Bots it was pretty poor against. But it was amazing for random trolls who manually created accounts. Did cause disruption for newer uses though you just manually approve a few comments until they get over the karma threshold. I just wish there was a one click “ignore this filter for this account”

“Which is why cis women make up <10% of the Lemmy side of the fediverse. It’s a disaster for women here.”

I mean I can believe that since it’s based off of Reddit but do you have a source for that?

For all the problems with karma it did allow for effective filtering. With most accounts on Lemmy being harder to create with captcha and approval it might not be needed

Mecore

Somehow I feel over clicking without understanding of the consequences sounds like something a techbro would do

I mean I can’t get assed to maintain a SFW account as well. I don’t get people who can

Newfoundland reference 😱

Actually I volunteer in a community centre

Honestly I’d expect more action for Lemmy than left leaning Reddit accounts just cause people here have taken steps to make a difference

I thought my online comments were weird (they probably are but let whatever the bias is cause effect)

It’s fairly self explanatory

As far as I’m concerned it is a phrase you use as a joke when backstabbing someone in a game. I don’t imagine people use it seriously but I’ve seen dumber

Ah thanks

Oh also do those using boost can someone tell me how to mark a message as read

Probably depends on the community. Being able to see removed comments and posts can be mucked up. Mostly obvious removals and/or bans but working out what crosses the line is always awkward.

I spent most of my moderation removing obviously bad people but it’s a role that forces you to think what’s just about acceptable and that’s really complicated

As a former Reddit moderator one thing that was a real pain was the necessity for various spam filters. Hopefully with accounts needing to be applied for on Lemmy that’s much less of an issue.

I have noticed a dumb case where I posted something in one sub and then immediately posted the same thing in another sub which got auto removed and I had stupid amounts of karma and history so I’m surprised about that

Yeah absolutely no need to thank you

Obligatory hiiii
