Community for moderation accountability? by Anon518 in c/[email protected]

[-] Anon518 7 points 3 days ago

I think it's essential to have one or more communities like this. There were a few on reddit -- watchredditdie, declineintocensorship, and more. The admins shut them down. I was unsuccessful in getting them to move over to Lemmy.

Absolutely the same things happen on lemmy. It's to be expected from both mods and admins. We need to have a place we can go to find out "which are the bad communities & instances".

The main problem I foresee is that those "watchredditdie and declineintocensorship" subs seemed to be well modded and mostly populated with intelligent people. In contrast, lemmy seems to have quite a lot of trolls, unintelligent people, and likely astroturfing. That will make things more difficult.

Lemmy needs better integration/federation. Too much content is hidden. A community on the biggest instance was not visible to me on another large instance. by Anon518 in c/[email protected]

This works quite well usually.

I definitely don't agree. I think this is very problematic. I rely on all to find new communities. I don't think one newcommunities sub is a valid replacement. It would suffer from the same issue -- people would have to spam their post to every single instances's newcommunities sub, which is ridiculous and not even viable.

I did a search from shitjustworks for "reddit die" and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a "ping" sent out to notify all other federated instances.

And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

I don't use Discord, but I don't use any Discord-alternatives either. I think matrix.org would be the main one?

Watch Reddit Die - sh.itjust.works by Anon518 in c/[email protected]

[-] Anon518 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

There are voices, and actions that reddit has silenced that should be given back a voice again. Reddit has been doing very bad things and sweeping them under the rug. This will give people a chance to find out about what reddit is trying to hide from the public.

/r/watchredditdie for example, was a big sub that reddit basically shut down. I'm hoping to draw some of those people to lemmy as their new home. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24701475.2021.1997179

I saw some weird pro-reddit content on other reddit-themed communities and then [email protected] went into archive mode, so I decided to make this to keep it clean from any reddit shills lurking in the dark. I'll start by posting some historical content.

By the way, anyone know what might be the most anti-reddit lemmy instance? I'd hate to find out that shitjustworks likes reddit and doesn't want a "watch reddit die" community on their instance.

Help encourage more reddit subs to move to Lemmy! Message the moderators of the subs you'd like to see on Lemmy. Here's an example script. (self.fediverse)

Moving to the fediverse

Hi guys, are you familiar with the fediverse? It's an open-source reddit-alternative that is owned and run by no one. So it doesn't suffer from the threat of a single hostile entity making drastic, unwanted changes, as we recently saw with reddit, resulting in the side-wide protests.

It would be great to have your subreddit join the fediverse! If you do, I would suggest not using lemmy.world, as it's already the largest instance and it's better to spread things out so no one has too much control.

https://lemmyverse.net/communities - explorer
Awesome Lemmy Instances has a list where you can see how many instances block/are blocked by each other https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances. This can help you pick an instance to create your community on.
https://join-lemmy.org/instances - Click on an instance, and look at the right sidebar. It will list local rules of the instance. You can also browse the "local" feed to see what kind of communities live on that specific server.

You can even create your own instance like /r/futurology and /r/piracy did https://futurology.today, https://lemmy.dbzer0.com. If you do, you may want to seed your community with content https://futurology.today/post/166237.

Once you make a community on Lemmy you could sticky a post in your sub to let your community know, and/or create an automod sticky in each thread.

And now apparently removing all comments that mention Lemmy...

Notice how a commenter here https://archive.ph/cV8X6 says "I think the removals are being / have been reversed", which is totally false. I see that a lot.

I've also been pretty creeped out by how many pro-reddit people there are on lemmy. It's really weird.

I was homeschooled previously with a small group of other children and we fart in class all the time.

Now I'm in public school for high school and no one is farting. I was very sheltered and public school is like a whole new world for me, so I don't know what the norms are. I've been holding it in but my stomach hurts and it leaks out anyway.

I don't understand how there are so many more people in high school and yet zero farts...
