As @neuromancer suggested would you be willing to ban opinion/editorial pieces?
Also, can you clarify the no spam rule?
Currently, it is “No spamming: Please do not post the same content multiple times or post links to irrelevant websites.” yet I was banned for posting too many different articles in too short of a time period.
Thanks for the openness and desire to improve an important community on the fediverse.
“No spamming: Please do not post the same content multiple times or post links to irrelevant websites.”
While I did make many posts within a short period of time none of them are the same content and are all relevant websites. I am able to be active during specific times of the day so I post the world news articles when I receive them from breaking news sites.
I was banned because I was suspected of being a bot and asked to provide proof which I did and was unbanned, that is fair moderation in my opinion to try and keep out post bots.
I’m just hoping since the admins already had to step into this sub and remove the last top mod, you guys immediately re-adding that account as a mod again gets the whole mod team wiped.
If not, just another dead sub on lemmy.world, there’s better on other instances.
This means being more inclusive of people from different cultures, religions, and LGBTQ communities.
What rule changes or moderation styles are you planning in order to do this? In some cases it’s a tight-rope walk, because it’s important to both do things like ban or warn those engaging in islamophobia while also making sure that forms of Islam that are intolerant towards LGBTQ communities are not able to use their religion as an excuse. Thanks for doing this AMA, I think openness from the mods is really good for community relations.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting people from all walks of life, including some who have despised me for who I am. But I believe that everyone has the potential to grow and become the best version of themselves. Life is about second chances, redemption, and education.
That being said, I will not tolerate discrimination against any marginalized group. If you see someone being discriminated against, please reach out to me and I will handle it.
I know that some people grow up around dinner table enablers, who hear hate at the dinner table and grow up being fed it day in and day out. This gives them a twisted perception of reality and the world around them.
It’s for this reason why I’m a firm believer in second chances. However, each issue will be dealt with on an organic case-by-case basis to ensure fairness. I know this isn’t a firm direct answer, but it’s the best I’ve got.
On another note: I also want to say that I’m tired of trolls, gaslighters, and dog whistlers. I have zero patience for it. If I see any of this behavior, you’ll be banned for 16 days the first time, and permanently banned the second time.
I hope we can all create a safe and welcoming space for everyone.
:/ do you think you can try to reach out to them or open a defect? After I delete messages or ban users phone apps will still show the content for a few days or more. If I look at the content from your instance in the browser it shows it’s removed. So I think it’s specific to some apps from what I can gather.
It depends on the instance you’re accessing the content from. Some remove content will still show up from other instances even if I remove it on sh.itjust.works.
I know but you can see the removal is federated on the other instance. It seems like some of the phone apps are serving cached data after it’s been removed.
I may be misunderstanding but if it’s hidden from the web view it shouldn’t show up on a phone app unless it’s being cached by the app or some other place?
Just trying to help take some of the load clearing reports off the admin team.
Yeah, I did confirm with the connect app developer it’s an app caching issue. No idea if he can even do anything about it without slowing his app down and causing it to make a bunch more API calls.
I have no idea if it’s possible to fix federation issues like with kbin besides doing the mod action again and waiting to see if it syncs. I’m amazed this whole fedverse thing even works at all based on how fast the users grew.
I’m sure in a few months this will all be less annoying to deal with. I’m kind of done looking at this anyways.
How will you address the Sinophobia and Russophobia that often occurs in any post related to Russia or China?
When a user drives by to comment “Fuck Russia” or call the user a “Cee Cee Pee shill” that adds nothing to the discussion and actively detracts from it not only by diminishing the quality of the discussion but also by dissuading any Russian or Chinese people from participating in a community that does not address racism.
There’s currently a pretty reasonably large tanky population attempting to make a new home on this instance and others. As long as any new inclusiveness policy doesn’t impede my ability to call someone a scum-sucking genocide apologist or a thinly veiled authoritarian mouthpiece, I’m on board. This place will very gradually find itself turned unpalatable if pointing out the tankies is disallowed.
I really don’t want to go back to Reddit, but it’s preferable to seeing frequent Maoist/Stalinist garbage.
Then engage them on the merits of the article and directly challenge the rhetoric with facts and logic. Deprogramming propaganda requires a working knowledge of theory, facts, and logic. Simply calling someone a scum sucking genocide apologist authoritarian mouthpiece should be outside the scope of this community, otherwise you are just showing your racist ass.
Perhaps, as someone with a family tree pruned into a family shrub by Stalinists, I might have stronger feelings about this than most. Tiptoeing on behalf of people cheering at my family’s graves isn’t ever on the table for me, personally.
Sadly, many people around the world can make this claim, yet they endeavor to end racist violence rather than perpetuate the cycle. Racism encourages this vicious cycle and is in violation of the community’s third rule.
You may think that words online may not have impact, but there is a demonstrative effect on the increase of crimes against Chinese and Russians. As I said below engage in these topics with your personal anecdote or a factual rebuttal of the subject. Shouting “FCKXXX PUTINNN” is as effective as “ANOTHER KKKRACKKKA DOWN”
That would fall under racism and dealt with accordingly. People do not choose where they are born and far too often do not have control over what their government does.
Saying “Fuck Russia” or “Fuck China” isn’t automatically racist, 99.999% of the time it’s someone talking about those countries far right authoritarian governments…
Dangerous choice of words there, what’s your stance on the CCP? The previous posted heavily insinuated CCP = bad and you didn’t bring all that diversity talk into the table this time.
Hey, help me out! What post are you talking about? If there was any post before this one then it was not me. That being said show me and I can help clear this up, thank you!
That would fall under racism and dealt with accordingly. People do not choose where they are born and far too often do not have control over what their government does.
Ah okay so it’s like this. The CCP does not equal the entire population of China. It is a governing body that dictates how the Chinese people live. Generalization of people is a racist trope. Holding fascist authoritarian governments accountable for atrocities is not. The comment was intended to help people think about the individuals within a country when thinking about the actions of the government. I know this is not the answer you may have wanted but it does give you some things to think about. Racial slurs dehumanization clearly not allowed. Criticizing the CCP for having a hand in a modern-day genocide against the Uyghurs Muslims is both welcomed and encouraged. This does not just apply To the CCP but all world governments.
This does not just apply To the CCP but all world governments.
Ok, then I’ll fell strongly encouraged to bring up the genocide of indians and indigenous populations committed by the Americans at every chance I see.
The United States has a long and bloody history of atrocities against indigenous peoples and Black people. These atrocities are some of the worst in human history, and they dwarf some of history’s other atrocities. This is not to say that one atrocity is worse than another, but it is important to remember that the United States has a dark past that we must not forget.
One random use I found years ago was that I could instantly search for Comcast business boxes and then export the IPs as a csv, run a headless browser script to try default login creds, then scrape the wireless Mac, ssid, and password which I could plot on a map using wigle wifi wardriving data. It's pretty cool. Maybe the monitoring service will come in handy if it ever notifies me of anything I should be concerned about on any of my IPs, hard to turn down a $5 lifetime pass.
