Thank you so much comrade! I loved working with you and the other admins and am very grateful for the experience!

It was my pleasure! Thank you for the opportunity!

Hi! This isn’t really a question, but I was a former admin on Lemmy.ml and I just want to say that I really appreciated the opportunity to be on your team and it was a really valuable experience for me! I’m no longer an admin due to inactivity and personal life events causing me to no longer have the time to serve such a role, but I enjoyed the time I was and I really hope I was able to make a positive contribution to the instance!

Thank you for your continued work developing this project and running your instance comrades! This is still by far my favourite fediverse platform, actually, favourite social media in general. I intend to continue using both Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad and I hope I can continue to contribute by using Lemmy when I have the chance!

If the government really wants to come for you there’s little you can do, but I’m more concerned about your average basement troll who may have gotten really pissed off during one of the debates/flamewars that have been popping up and is looking to get even. We’ve already had to ban some… interesting characters… and I just don’t want to give them any easy targets from this site.

Bad.

Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad.

It falls under being civil.

We have very different definitions for what bigrading is. Simply coming over and providing counterpoints is not brigading if they’re not cursing other people out. The whole point of federation is to allow other instances to interact.

My only advice for being called “liberal” or “imperialist” is to not internalize them so much. Do you expect the admins to police every use of the term imperialist and liberal and remove any potentially inaccurate usage? I’ve been called plenty of things I’m definitely not for being a Marxist-Leninist, including a genocide and cultural cleansing supporter, also imperialist gets dropped on me too for whatever reason, but I honestly just don’t care and being called something I know I’m not is not going to shake my views.

I’m not sure what else to tell you other than to block Lemmygrad users or use an instance that doean’t federate with them.

Good point!

On the Lemmy webclient, click the icon with the three dots under the post or comment, then click the flag icon.

Thanks!

@[email protected] or @[email protected], can you mod me to this community so I can pin stuff?

Good point!

This thread is being brigaded by homophobes, so unfortunately, I am going to have to lock it for the time being.

I’ve forwarded your application to the admin Matrix room, thanks!

I provided my two cents!

This is just my opinion:

Must haves:

• A history of quality activity on Lemmy.ml or another instance we federate with, such as amicable discussion, links to reputable web resources, etc.

• Frequently online. I’d say at least once a day is ideal, but I also understand that you’re a volunteer, and will reasonably have other things going on where you might be missing for several days or otherwise intermittent at times.

• An interest in helping to develop the Lemmy community and ecosystem.

• No recent violation of instance rules or Lemmy project code of conduct.

• Is not currently banned from Lemmy.ml on another account.

Optional but could help your application:

• History of reporting rule breaking content, particularly spam.

• Has participated in discussions on Lemmy development or the the direction the Lemmy community is going.

• Already a moderator of a community, or an admin on another instance (we will use your moderation history to assess your application).

• Activity on the Lemmy Matrix rooms (please Link your Matrix).

• Activity on the Lemmy project GitHub or other source control site that Lemmy is on, either as a code contributor or making/discussing pull requests (please Link your GitHub/other source control website).

It would also help to specify your time zone and the languages you know.

Lemmy.ml currently has 5 admins, though we’re looking to recruit more. Keep in mind that all of us are volunteers who juggle moderating this instance and the other things in our lives.

Happy new year!

Interestingly though, the .ca community gets more frequent posts than the .ml version.

Out of the loop here. Who’s Vowsh?
