As far as I understand they had prepared a pretty big warchest, and gas is still worth a lot and is being sold to countries that didn’t commit to sanctions (like China and India).

Hello! Could you please remove the copy of the entire article out of the body, see rule 10 for more info.

Mmm? I don’t remember ever scolding someone. If you feel like I did that was probably me being Dutch. Could you specify what I said that made you angry?

I am not, haha. I was appointed by Antik, I’m way to dumb to start my own instance.

Okay, so I read through some of the replies and I think I know what exchange you are referring to (not gonna doxx your ofcourse). I was honestly trying to ascertain if that mod had abused their power. You spammed the accusation through different communities, which is against the rules. I removed those comments, but I was still trying to work with you to investigate that particular mod.

Do not engage in content manipulation such as posting spam content, vote manipulation through using several user accounts or consistently down-voting a user.

I meant to speak as part of the admin team here on lemmy.world. If I didn’t make that clear, I apologize for that, I guess.

You are accusing me of things I didn’t do in my mind, did you really expect me to not defend myself? I am not angry or anything, just confused about this whole ordeal.

How to handle community mod abuse?

I came to lemmy months ago to get away from the rising reddit infection of hard right activist powermods that use their authority to harass their ideological enemies. For a while it was really nice, to be able to engage with a likeminded community without getting banned for saying things like ‘cheetolini is a seditionist’...

Thekingoflorda ,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

You did the right thing by contacting us via [email protected]. We, the admins and the community team, work hard to ensure bad faith mods get removed. Our processes to handle such cases will probably improve over time.

No problem. For anyone else having this problem: feel free to message me privately, am happy to help.

I mean it isn’t crazy to not want to provide data to companies who 1. are incentivised to abuse it and 2. are probably to lazy to take measures to protect it.

@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

Well cheers to reddit for having a bad UI then, we love having you here.

I really hope Lemmy grows out to also fill in the small inactive communities, a social media without corporate incentives to milk out the users has so much potential.

Did you read rule 7 of this community?

Thekingoflorda ,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

No, some instances have downvotes disabled here on lemmy.

Thekingoflorda OP ,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

We expect one to join the discord or matrix server, read the guidelines and communicate with us if they have any questions.

Aside from that it is just normal modding, clearing out reports and keeping the community clean. We will keep an eye out if you are not over or under-modding, and let you know if you are.

Thekingoflorda OP ,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

It’s bit more politically charged here and there are a lot more reports (but also a lot more mods probably). Are you interested?

Thekingoflorda OP ,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

Good! I will send it to the other mods (:

Thekingoflorda OP ,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

Sounds good! Will send you to the other mods for consideration, thank you!

Thekingoflorda OP ,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

Great to hear! Will also forward you for consideration. We got a bit more interest then we expected, so we’re churning through some applicants and will get back to you as soon as possible (:

Health care system "collapse": Doctors, experts sound alarm over Puerto Rico's medical system (www.cbsnews.com)

“The collapse is caused mainly by debt and the economic crisis in Puerto Rico and historic privatization of the health care system there. Our research shows patients are waiting for six to eight months to get an appointment with a specialist. If that’s not a sign of collapse, I don’t know what is,” said Varas-Diaz.

South Africa Requests ICC to Issue Arrest Warrant for Israeli Prime Minister - BNN Breaking (bnn.network)

South Africa’s government, in an unprecedented move, has implored the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The deadline for this action is set for mid-December, signaling a bold stance from the African nation. The call was voiced by the Minister in the...

@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

I think it all depends on the country that you do that to. A dictatorship like Russia is probably quicker to save their glorious leader than Israel would. Plus a warrant is not an arrest. But I’m of course no expert.

That’s the point they are making. Currently that’s possible. But what is stopping the producers to force you to hook it up to the internet?

Artists lose first copyright battle in the fight against AI-generated images (www.computerworld.com)

Artists lose first copyright battle in the fight against AI-generated images::But the fight may not be lost as the court allowed the artists to claim copyright infringement against Stability AI, Midjourney, and DevianArt, on workpieces that the artists had filed a copyright for.

@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

I’m so conflicted about this; on the one hand AI’s can be a great tool for humanity, on the other hand they will likely destroy the livelyhood of thousands of people and probably give more power to big corporations.

Thekingoflorda ,
@Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

It is not. Generally the first place to do so would be by messaging the mods, asking for an explanation. If that doesn’t work for you, you could also join the matrix or discord server for this instance, we have a lot of people there that can help you.

We discourage posting and often remove Meta post like these, as we don’t want to clutter people’s feeds.

As for your particular issue, I will have to come back to that later as I’m currently commuting (:

  1. It has the potential to become a huge humanitarian disaster.
  2. It could lead to a bigger conflict in the Middle East, which would be an even bigger humanitarian disaster.

I feel like some games want to future proof, so I could understand how there are graphic modes which are not feasible with current hardware.
