Jerusalem Spider-Man

You don’t make fun of halal or kosher? Where’s the fun in that?!

Exactly :)

Fuck yes

One of the best friends I’ve ever had banned me from one of his subs because I was fucking with him as a prank of sorts

The guy poured his time and energy into making any sub he was associated with being as relaxed, friendly, and free of bullshit as possible.

And the dude got death threats.

Reddit ran off the best mods, the ones that really cared. Most of those came here.

Most mods are like him, they’re trying to help build something good, and keep it that way. Even the ones that wield the ban hammer often tend to only do so for disruptive assholes like me.

It’s impossible here in any broad way. If an admin allowed it to go too far, they end up running off users, and possibly end up defederated if it gets really crazy.

There’s already duplicates of half the c/s out there, particularly among the reddit copies.

You might think that power admins could be the equivalent problem, but we’ve already seen problematic instances be defederated widely.

Pretty much every instance out there right now that has enough users to have power mods already has specific rules against going bonkers with moderation.

It’s a different system, a different culture, and the ultimate control is decentralized and distributed.

About the only people that could maybe upend that are the lemmy devs themselves, and it isn’t like lemmy is impossible to fork. I couldn’t do it, but there’s plenty of folks that can. And, let’s be real, those guys may be on the radical end of their political beliefs, but everything they’ve done so far points to them handling the project in a very socialist way. They could have forced the entire thing into an echo chamber instead of making it open source. They could have built in controls that would give them the ability to screw with instances remotely, but didn’t.

So, nah, power mods aren’t going to be a thing on lemmt any time soon. When it does happen, it’ll be on single instances and rapidly handled.

Gee, I can’t understand how my lgg3 is still in one piece, what with that replaceable battery making it so flimsy.

It’s almost as if I’m imagining it being able to turn on because it fell apart when I sat it on the table three years ago.

Good thing it broke back then! Otherwise, I might have spent tens of dollars on replacement batteries each year!

Not to mention all the tablets that broke because they were flimsy with replaceable batteries. The galaxytab 2 and 3 alone would have blown up from materials fatigue if I’d replaced those batteries over the years. Whew, what a relief I don’t have to have them in use as digital picture frames like I would have otherwise.

Dude. Your finger must have spasmed like crazy, because this posted a dozen times.
