I understand, but it has nothing to do with our differences with Ada.
Also, we do use LBZ accounts :p One of our most active mods actually has their main (and possibly only) account there. Plus, Qaz has an alt there and many other instances just to deal with the federation issues. Moss's main account (head moderator) is also on LBZ. I would too if I weren't still waiting on my application to be read...
I don't think the problem stems from not using LBZ, because IIRC Qaz found loads of reports that could only be seen from SDF. I don't understand why, but what I do know is that federation can make a mess of things sometimes, and this is one of those things.
The lead devs of Lemmy seem hostile to significantly improving the moderation tools for both moderators and admins.
Yeppp... This is something I keep hearing, and I used to be hopeful that the FOSS nature of Lemmy would negate this issue, but alas...here we are two years later :/
There are absolutely viable forks/rewrites of the Lemmy backend. Sublinks was the one I was keeping an eye on, but progress seems to have slowed down significantly on that. It's supposed to be a drop-in replacement for Lemmy that continues working with current apps.
[email protected] is definitely more promising
I thought part of the difference with piefed is that it's not a drop-in replacement that can hook into current databases, such that an instance would have to start afresh on a new subdomain, and users would have to sign-up again, re-subscribe to their communities, etc. Is that the case, or was I mistaken?
You're correct. On the other hand, Piefed is more or less usable today, and regularly gets updates. Sublinks hasn't had meetings or progress for over 6 months.
For better or worse that still makes migration a much bigger pill to swallow though.
Seems like everyone just proved yesterday that a community could be migrated in a few hours if needed 😄
More seriously, you're correct, it will probably happen gradually with a few early adopters
Why haven't you posted to [email protected] to get that solved?
I've already addressed this. We have LBZ mods, and it's not the issue.
You're really testing my patience. If you're so desperate to unearth a flaw in our mod practices, make the next attempt count because I'm just about done engaging with you.
Oh nooo did you not like the consequences of making a unilateral and extremely unpopular descision? Better start silencing the dissenters quick!
This comment is actually really funny /g idk the wording or something just made me laugh
Blaze has been warned about harassment already, and not just on mods. Fan didn't threaten to ban them for critiquing our actions, although I can see how anyone else could've got there. Reminder that the modlog is visible to anyone, if anyone feels that we are banning people purely for speaking out, please contact Ada if you do not trust any of the other local mods to address the situation
