  I’m a mod here. While it’s not one of my favorites, it does follow the format pretty well. I try to use Rule 1 sparingly.

  It’s a bad look to shutdown critics. I think the votes and comments are doing a good job of bringing perspective to OP’s opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can block entire instances. You should be able to find it in the settings of your Lemmy app. I know Tesseract and Voyager let you edit it. I think you can also filter by keywords.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I moderate showerthoughts.

  I certainly don’t know everything but I’m very sure I can’t edit other people’s posts.

  If a post is questionable, then I try to message people and talk it out. We are all human.

  Some people wish we moderated more aggressively to keep the post quality higher, others, like yourself wish there was less moderation. I try to leave things up unless there is an obvious violation, I try to apply the rules fairly, I am human.

  Reporting absolute numbers is fine but I really prefer precent changes.

  Per this article it looks like child poverty grew 3% in one year.

  It looks like the UK population grew by roughly 0.3% in the same time.

  So child poverty grew nearly 10x faster than population. That seems like a dramatic change.

  Hell, I would copy the question sometimes :P

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I had a similar thought to your first paragraph. I mostly use MBFC for the “factual reporting” rating, because it seems easier to be objective about.

  Just to clarify, I don’t develop any fediverse software, I wouldn’t want to take any credit from those amazing people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops by pixelfied Is Doomed to Fail Because of Daniel Supernault⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have always liked the saying that an overnight success takes 5-10 years. Getting frustrated with someone who is developing two different Fediverse platforms simultaneously after 12 days seems a little quick.

  I think you make good arguments in your video about how similar loops and peertube are, but I don’t view that as a negative. We see lots of duplication in the world, even within open source (Linux vs BSD vs Redox, ardupilot vs pixhawk vs betaflight). When it’s open source they can all learn from each other and reach better solutions sooner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  These comments have made me very curious if that exists or how that might be designed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok well nothing as impressive as yours. Averaging 15 posts a day for the last 19 months is a full time job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems like important nuance for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  that worked thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  ha, that’s possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Relative to your impressive comment and post count, it appears I was.

  Wow good work, my global ranking is #2449.

  Ha, yeah it’s good that you slowly clear out your local area because my SO did not appreciate me trying to answer questions while we walked.

  You are in luck my friend: streetcomplete.app

  They have made it super easy and fun. I have been playing it for nearly a year and have made a pretty big dent in my local dense metro area.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whether you've got big plans for your Sunday or are just going to relax, Putin could change your plans, end your life, kill all of your family, and incinerate everything you own.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was reported for breaking rule 1,4,5.

  1. The votes seem to agree that it’s not a shower thought. I’m slow to remove a post for this rule, I would rather let the votes do the work.

  2. I’m not sure saying this about Putin is saying anything about any people group. You can be hugely supportive of people groups while thinking their leaders are responsible for, or capable of, horrible things. At various times nearly every country could be used as an example of this.

  3. I’m not sure what community rule it’s breaking. It’s not a very positive post but people should be free to be negative online if they that’s how they feel. Lord knows that many comment threads are negative. I may feel differently if the the majority of posts suddenly became negative.

  As always I’m open to feedback.
