What are the challenges posed by moderation (and admin in general) that you didn’t think of when launching the first instance?

(and: How can things get improved, how can people help?)

Reddit? srsly? :/

because this furiously sounds like some transhumanist bullshit.

transhumanism as a prolongation of the rich elite’s desire to last forever, and their will to invest their appropriated resources into themselves, erecting fear of death as a valid investment target, making it a priority over all the problems the Earth and most people on it are facing because of them and their greed…

transhumanism should be opposed, at least for as long as we haven’t solved climate emergency…

Great! What the World needs right now is rich Humans living forever! Is totally gonna make things better, for real!

to which “somehow similar” can be elaborated to match one’s politics and strategic objectives:

“It is better than reddit, lobste.rs or Hacker News, because it is federated; you subscribe…”

“It is better than reddit, lobste.rs or Hacker News, because it is not bound to commercial interests; you subscribe…”

“It is better than reddit, lobste.rs or Hacker News, because it is 100% free/libre software; you subscribe…”

etc.

Congratulations!! Great news!

As a sidenote, I wish we stop defining our free/libre projects by starting to compare them to existing proprietary/centralized ones… it somehow diminishes our work and its importance, by always bringing comparison/alternative first. If you consider gimp as “a bitmap editor” it is quite decent… if you compare it to photoshop, it hmm… “pales” in comparison.

I would just invert sentences there:

"Lemmy is a network of interconnected communities ran by different people and organizations, all combining to create a single, personalized front page of your favorite news, articles, and memes. [It is somehow] similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to communities you’re interested in, post links and discussions, then vote and comment on them.~~ Lemmy isn’t just a reddit alternative~~;
