  Some thoughts I have which oppose your argument:

  1. A mod can only be expected to be responsible for their own community. It is not reasonable to expect them to know the rules of other communities to know a post applies.
  2. Some posts do not have an applicable community. The posts may not have a general place to be sent to.
  3. There is no tool I am aware of to allow mods to send posts elsewhere without simply posting from their own account. I’m not sure that the use case here would justify the work needed to create that tool.
  4. Removes posts have been determined to be problematic by nature of being deemed to need removal. Is incorrect posting not a problem?
  5. When a mod removes a post, they would presumably tell you the rule which was broken. You may be able to adjust the post accordingly and resubmit.
  6. Bigger is not necessarily better, and Lemmy may not need a growth advantage. Being hard to use keeps out much of the general population, which I’ve seen suggested as a benefit more than a hindrance.

  That feels like a big stretch. By that logic, you think about what you were looking at during your first wank every time you achieve. And thank the heavens that isn’t true.

  So you are a college student? Please correct me if I’m not understanding this. You wouldn’t say you are an engineer or a doctor or a lawyer that is still working on their degree, and it feels disingenuous to the scientists in this thread to say you are one if you aren’t doing science but rather taking courses as a student.

  Funny, but totally off base. I work with many scientists and I’ll ask them, since this isn’t working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give us your best infodump.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Apologies then. Would you mind helping me understand why a scientist is taking exams? That sounded like something a college student who wants to be a scientist would say.

  Scientists don’t take exams.
