It's much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.

For your memes we have [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like [email protected][email protected]and [email protected] and for a meme science combo there's always the fantastic [email protected]

You can also drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or hang out at [email protected] (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)

If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check [email protected] or for more general Linux [email protected] and we even have a Linux meme comm at [email protected] (we like Linux around here lmao)

For news [email protected] is excellent and for US focused news [email protected] and [email protected]

Want to ensure your privacy in this crazy world? Checkout [email protected]

And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, [email protected] !!! Just make sure to buy a krabby patty!

We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they’re mostly on what's known as the Tankie Triad: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For the most part, grad and hex are widely defederated from (Users and content of those instances won't be "synced" and you won't see them) and you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. .ml tends to be more subtle opting for censorship of dissent before things get crazy on their threads and allowing certain propaganda to flourish (If you wish to see documentation of it, checkout [email protected] ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what's known as the "modlog"

Obligatory, fuck Spez

Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

To find communities that you might not know exist, it's great to check out [email protected] , [email protected] or [email protected] .

You can also visit the external website Lemmyverse.net for community discovery/search. Or sub.rehab for finding equivalent communities of subreddits.

I would love it if reddit clamped down on free speech. Please reddit, just lay it out on what else you want to limit. Let the people know what else they can't say. Or even better- force people on reddit to make mandatory posts praising billionaires. It would make my day. Please reddit, put more gas on your dumpster fire

Wait so Reddit is taking action against moderators who block X links on their subreddits? Wow! That’s draconian as fuck!

I hope we get a big influx. There’s so many small subreddits I like which have no Lemmy equivalent!

Remember the block function!

"Why they hate me, are they sick in the brain?" sad emoji Anyway, yeah I'm here already dipping my toesies and getting confy since my first reddit "scare" anyway so- just waiting the the time I really have to delete that bookmark like I've done with other virtual social gatherings before when I don't identify with the values of place anymore. By the looks of it it's bound to happen to everything big out there away from the fediverse, either by greed, simping for power, or caving to coercion/ oppression/ roman saluters (and I don't mean the food in case there is a dish with that name)

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

I'm glad I left Reddit good riddance. Much better here tbh.

By total accident I found out that Digg is resurrecting, backed by Alexis Ohanian, a founder of Reddit (and husband of Serena Williams), and Kevin Rose, who originally founded Digg.
Maybe all the former Digg refugees that fled to Reddit will go right back to Digg.. Continue the cycle.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I was part of that migration and I won't be as it looks like Digg is going to be pre-launch enshittified via AI slop.

Mr. Free Speech Absolutist strikes again.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Yup he is so free speech he bans anyone that hurt his fees fees.

A stupid fuckface called a greedy pig boy…

Fuckface is putting it lightly limo. he is much much worse.

Saying it again to everyone in the back. The modlog is a great feature. Instance Mods and admins can't just disappear people and communities without a trace, and trolls can't make up stories of unfair moderation without bringing receipts and their old account name.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Eh, you say that.

  • The post title was something like "What is your ideal political system"

(I've since deleted my comment just in case I doxxed myself elsewhere)

So either there's some funny shenanigans going on at lemmy.world, or more likely maybe the modlog isn't completely visible across instances, or...?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (13 children)

People are still able to delete their own posts, that wouldn't appear in the modlog

The main thing you need to know the username of the OP who posted it. Chances are they were banned, had their account deleted or deleted the post themselves. The comments in the post is collateral damage in deleted/removed posts. It has happened to me and it does feel bad a bit since comments of deleted posts and children of deleted comments do not appear in the modlog. The idea though, is that the main OP who has been actioned against has recourse. The process certainly can be improved but its still several steps above Reddit in transparency.

The modlog is vulnerable to the same federation issues that all Lemmy content can suffer from.

Because I've noticed the same thing with comments removed by .ml admins, I can see the modlog entry when looking on .ml itself, but when viewed from .worlds modlog it's missing in some cases

But also, like all federated content, you won't see modlog entries on your Instances modlog if they've defederated from an instance. So you won't see hex/grad modlog entries on .world but you can from .ee for example

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you see a different modlog for [email protected] as I'm seeing in that screenshot then?

That actually isn't true, they can disappear it for normal users. I've had things disappear at LW and when I called it out, the shitty admin dude went after me. Also, if you delete a thread, it disappears. That's the one thing the bad place did correct up until I left, it might be different now though. They kept the threads up even if they shut down the thread. Now, it just disappears.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There are instances where deleting content permanently is a good feature, like for illegal content and spammers.

A way to list what was disappeared entirely and the reason for it would be good for transparency. Like if a comment/thread is deleted for illegal images just having a note in the modlog that it was deleted for illegal content would be good even though the images won't show. .

Spammers might still clog up the modlog though, but there could probably be a way to consolidate them or something.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I agree. I think the bad place had a warning page if it was deleted for violent or abusive content. Otherwise, it stayed up. Again, it might be different now though, I haven't been there in years now.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Couldn't an instance admin just disable modlogs or spoof them, though

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

For their own instance, sure.

But it won't alter the modlogs of other Instances, which also have a copy if the community is federated to them.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

Because of federation the lock-in is much lower and we could move to a new instance due to a rogue admin.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yes, but the backlash would be undoubtedly intense, everyone here loves the modlog (well probably not the trolls/tankies LMFAO)

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 week ago (6 children)

the tankies were who created the modlog. broken clocks etc

So of course Spez rolled over like a bitch

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I made an account after I got a warning for upvoting criticism of musk on a post about Teslas being attacked. I was warned for upvoting violent content. I purposely avoided upvoting such content after admin sub posted about it.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

Spez has been rolling over like a bitch, his whole fucking life. fucking punchable face that little cunt.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Rolled over so fast it’s like he’d been just waiting for a reason to ban content he didn’t like.
