It’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off

Hahaha! Super creative, I love it
0·25 days agoThis does happen from time to time where the federation queue gets overwhelmed, usually with Lemmy.world for whatever reason. It appears that our outbound federation queue is really backed up right now.
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works just restarted the service so it may be working better now.
See our Matrix chat for more details.
Finally, while I’m complaining to our beloved great admins. I’ve seen that I tried to write that post in French first, but was blocked due to language setting, c’est dommage pour une instance bilingue
Woops. It appears this community was set to English as the default language. I just enabled Francais in the settings.
I haven’t run all the test by myself and just agreed to be the messenger as someone using SJW. No idea whether it’s just about setting a flag user-side, or whether it’s a very specific lemmy version which enable this discussion.
We will have to look into this. I assume you would prefer that the posts do get automatically tagged as French. Hopefully it is a setting on our side and not some type of bug.
The language settings on Lemmy generally need some work to make them more intuitive, imo. New users are often confused by them.
Profile > settings > blocks
Be aware that this will only block communities of that instance from your feed. You’ll still see the users from the blocked instance posting in other communities.
Yeah they’re down to 600 MAUs. They are apparently planning to move off Lemmy to another platform. I’m not sure why

This sequence has been so entertaining. When is the Houseplant Monster movie coming out? I need more content!
Beehaw was so worried about other instances turning into Nazi bars even as their own server was rapidly bleeding users due to excessively strict moderation and defederation.
Here’s a fun snapshot of the Lemmy network as of June 15th, 2023. Beehaw was huge in the early days.
Yeah same. Makes me feel warm inside to know that there are some sh.itheads who never got caught up in the various internet slapfights that have unfolded over the past year.
I mean forget about hexbear, OG sh.itheads will remember the exploding-heads defederation drama. I’ll never forget when these users absolutely eviscerated me regarding our “glacial” response to defederating EH.

Oof
Your “oh maybe, I kinda guess it’s possible” attitude here is the problem. You are acting now, great, but this was an incredibly slow response, it doesn’t matter if your vote is tomorrow. It’s already incredibly, mind bogglingly slow, and you still decided to post a day long debate thread before the vote (it seems to show overwhelming support for defederation, which I consider totally unsurprising, and makes me wonder again what you’ve been waiting for).
I understand a little about why it was so glacial, but you continue to appear to not understand that this was actually a huge issue, that in that time you let the server bias towards the alt-right, showed a general support for alt right topics, and alienated an unknowable number of users in the process. Those are all the sort of users you probably wanted to keep, the ones who aren’t just content to see things go badly and will take action when they see it rather than stare like a deer in headlights. If they’re like me, they were probably posting and trying to find out the delay before leaving in disgust. They’re folks that care about having an instance that reflects their values, and you’ve let them - us - down.
That can’t be undone, but the way you keep shrugging it off as though you really don’t see it does not inspire confidence.
Even rereading it now, that one still hurts. Thanks for not turning into a bunch of Nazis, that would have been a lot of guilt for me to work through 😅
Nah, he’s talking about @SJW_Bot2. Automod functionality isn’t built into Lemmy, InEnduringGrowStrong actually created and maintains that bot to help combat spammers and trolls.
It would have been impossible to protect this instance from the recent spam wave without that bot, as you can see by scrolling through the modlog to see all the random shit it automatically removes.
So this was the original endless runner game. TIL
At first we were waiting out the bugs in federation, but more recently TheDude stated he was targeting the end of this week for the upgrade. So probably within the next several days.
Also, here’s the link to the sh.itjust.works Matrix chat
It’s actually hear hear. But I appreciate the sentiment nonetheless. Just gotta keep the grammar clean as well 😅
Yeah it was down for a few hours overnight, not exactly sure why, but TheDude will provide more info when he has a chance.
We do have a Matrix chat for this purpose:
https://matrix.to/#/!ftaqqnpOePvPwZBnaO:matrix.org?via=matrix.org&via=envs.net
A SJW community on another instance would get the job done but seems pretty janky. Also we haven’t really had very much downtime overall, so it didn’t seem crucial. In the longer term we would like to create a status checker site along the lines of status.lemm.ee
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Cheers to that! It’s been a lot of fun and excited for the coming year 🥳
Of course. I simply figured that in order to decide whether or not we want to be federated, we would first have to experience what federation was like. That appears to be a very controversial assumption, but I stand by it.
I think some of them are okay and some of them suck. Much like our own users.
There is clear evidence of that fact throughout this thread.
The announcement didn’t say that we weren’t going to defederate. It said in the immediate future. If this proves to be untenable, we will have a vote.
@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works went on a campaign to find moderators and lock unmoderated communities a while back.
As far as I know, moderator seniority isn’t such a big deal on Lemmy like it is on reddit. Mainly because the admins can easily overrule the moderators anyway. I don’t think there is really any harm to leaving inactive moderator accounts on the team. All reports are sent to all moderators as well as admins, so it’s not like inactive moderators are preventing admins or other moderators from doing what they need to.
However, if you would still like to remove them as moderators, I think a reasonable standard would be 30 days without any activity or response to PM. Just PM me whichever accounts you are concerned about and I can demod them if they don’t respond in the allotted time.
