Non-native english speaker here, so excuse me for any abominations you read from my posts
Nice post but I almost get blind reading that.
Thank you, as soon as Warren opens Pokeyiff again I make you moderator!
Hey, I FUCKING love Photon and as soon as I can I’m going to donate to the project, but I have three questions: Is there any kind of official community for the project? And, is there a way to search communities and only communities? I mean, I can search for posts and then search for communities where that post may be, but can I search for communities directly, and lastly, how can I join a community within Photon?
Thank you for your contribution!
Fuck, you’re right, is that I don’t read each new that is posted here, but I should at least read that.
I guess that you still can unplug your lan cable and create a local account?
Hey OP, I love you! I never used a Lemmy WebApp because I see no sense in it, but I tried Photon because of some comments in your post and holy fuck I have missed so much! It’s incredible that I can even have two accounts at the same time from different instances without changing the URL!
Care to share Eclipse’s url? I can’t find it with a quick Google search or in Droid-ify.
Does ChatGPT can really report you in case you say something like this? Is it just a threat or can it really become more?
I’m just busy. 🥲
I think on Reddit most mods were volunteers, those who were paid were the admins.
And so far I haven’t encountered any problems with moderators personally although not long ago there was a problem with a community (c/shitposting) where some unscrupulous users started to upload child pornography (CP) (another term is used but I don’t remember) in the comments as images and that sucked because Lemmy unlike Reddit has no automatic post deletion tool (like bots) or enough moderation tools (as I have read from some moderators) and you must consider that the instances are maintained by people like you and me without any legal backing, if I have an instance where I federated with you and someone uploads CP to your instance, that CP will be in my own instance and that can have serious legal consequences for everyone. and besides, since moderators are volunteers they can’t spend all day checking every post and comment because they have a real life out there.
I find it difficult to give an opinion on this, on the one hand I consider that it should not be easy to be a moderator but on the other hand I remember cases of certain communities (r/JusticeServed) where the moderators were corrupt and accepted money in exchange for banning someone from the sub, or tried to hide certain posts that did not suit them, and that seems to me to be complete bullshit but not all subreddit’s mods are like that and you can not judge like that.
I guess Lemmy’s advantage in this case, is that because of the nature of the fediverse it is more difficult for that to happen, but it can happen.
I have never liked 4chan because I consider the lack of moderation to be a very very bad thing, but honestly I have never used it nor have I been attracted to it, on the other hand, I used Reddit for many years and I consider it to be ok (leaving aside the API abuse and training AI with your users posts), but I’m on Lemmy because I like the open source philosophy and I tend to use exclusively open source software, and since Lemmy is an open source project I really enjoy being here. I always wanted to use Mastodon but as I said, I don’t like Twitter, so Lemmy is my paradise.
I always wanted to be in the fediverse but I didn’t like Mastodon at all and Lemmy (or his alternatives) didn’t have almost no users… When the massive migration of users from Reddit to Lemmy happened, I took advantage of it and I’ve been here ever since (using other accounts).
Care to explain context?
