Hey ๐ Iโm Lemann
I like tech, bicycles, and nature.
Was this during the sync thing?
To be honest as a mod or admin I would personally get sick of reading the same things over and over again, with sync fans attacking staunch FOSSers and staunch FOSSers attacking sync fans. It only served to get both sides upset for literally no reason, and fracture the community even more.
Their inboxes would have also likely been flooded out to death during that time with both sides reporting each other over petty remarks
Doesnโt make it right, however I can see why it happened. Probably another reason behind the โdont report something unless its against the termsโ rule.
Unless they changed it - the last time I checked there was an exception for posts violating community rules, so communities who want to exempt themselves can just add a rule IMO
From my perspective, communities in general instantly remove racist content once reported, and most racial slurs in these contexts are used as a personal attack towards another individual.
๐ฅHOT TAKE: There are contexts where racial slurs could be used without bad intentions, such as in a car visual customization community, or in a community with people of colour referencing each other. These slurs are especially used among younger age groups in a casual manner, who may not consider such terms offensive at their current point in life. Of course, such communities can just ban these terms outright with a new rule.
Unless iโm missing something, I donโt see the problem with this
Post titles can be edited after posting, at least on Lemmy
Integrating something like Matrix is not an easy feat, there is a lot of heavy lifting being done in the background to make things easier for us users, like key generation, message signing, verifying logins etc. that another dev may not have the time or resources to implement. Lemmy partially solves this with a dedicated message button if you have a Matrix account linked
I was contemplating setting up an instance dedicated to micromobility, active transport and livable citiesโฆ but this is a BIG turn off - I donโt think itโs worth spinning up a new instance until the new mod tools land, and the ability to disable caching federated thumbnails
There are some instances using ML to scan their pictrs folder IIRC, could be good if it could quarantine/delete/purge posts from Lemmy
Things are already like that somewhat, as far as I can see.
Smaller instances for the most part need to have registration signups or capcha as a minimum, otherwise they risk swift defederation from larger instances when spammers arrive
As lemmyโs mod tools improve I see things moving away from this approach though
I wouldnโt be surprised if Lewy.world saw how much storage is needed and bailed on the projectโฆ from a brief browse of lemmynsfw it seems like those admins run into a storage wall pretty often.
Another possibility is maybe the ๐๐ฎโโ๏ธ or the domain provider got involved, instructing Lewy.world to pull the plug
Youโre shifting the blame
I donโt see how I amโฆ
Ernest promised a quick resolution 2 months ago and didnโt follow through.
I understand that, and itโs unfortunate that heโs been unable to do so thus far.
That fact does not affect the validity of the original question IMO, especially when the complaint is originating from multiple people who each have equal access to implement the desired change.
I donโt use kbin, I only use Postmill, so expecting me to clean up his mess isnโt a reasonable ask
Iโm not expecting a specific individual to โclean up his messโ really. There are multiple people being vocal about this issue besides yourself, from my perspective any one of these individuals can do this and move on.
It would take him less time to copy/paste the license file than it took him to write his latest feet-dragging comment here
While this is true, I think posts like these are also wasting his time needing to crowd control a post discussing how he should be using his personal time. These kind of interactions are really demotivating and draining for any developer or individual
Even if he went and did the change himself as a result of this post, people would still โwhy did it take you this longโ and the like IMO
