  • Jordan Lund: An Unbiased Perspective

    Jump

  • we have started looking into reports about jordan a few days ago, and we have already identified several occasions where he has been acting in ways that we don't consider to be acceptable for a member of our community team. it may still take us a few more days to come to final conclusions for how we will proceed with this, as this is something that needs time for a proper review and discussions within the team. we all have lives outside of lemmy, where we need and want to spend our time, and something like this takes hours to properly review.

    one of the things we have already discussed will be establishing an internal CoC for community team members and people higher up in the team, which includes ensuring that we keep a certain level of professionalism in our interactions, even if another party doesn't. we're obviously all humans, but that doesn't mean we don't have responsibility for our actions, especially if it's not a one-off thing. we will also consider if this may be something to establish for community moderators in general, but for now our primary focus is on people in positions above a regular user or moderator.

  • User "threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works" is banning users for downvoting his posts.

    Jump

  • the implementation that piefed used to use made it trivial to link them to the original users, yes. this was an implementation flaw that could easily be addressed, which would make it less trivial to do so, mostly turning it into a probability assessment when correlating with other activity, provided that the pseudonymous identity is permanently tied to the real user.

  • Multiple accounts

    Jump

  • as @Blaze@lemmy.zip mentioned, we don't care about usage of multiple accounts generally.

    we do prohibit the same person voting on content (their own or others') with multiple accounts, and obviously using multiple accounts for ban evasion is not allowed. spamming a community with multiple accounts pretending to be different persons should also be avoided unless the community explicitly allows it, which seems to how you want to do it based on your description.

  • September 2025: Updates for the .worlds and call for donations

    Jump

  • you could save some storage with this, but i don't think it's a good idea. a lot of people expect the threadiverse to have a lot more permanence than e.g. mastodon, similar to reddit. being able to find old posts/comments about a certain topic is one of the things that made reddit as useful as it used to be, especially when searching for tech related issues in my experience. old doesn't necessarily mean obsolete, and whether this would be suitable would be highly dependent on the community. most communities are not intended to be for ephemeral content only.

  • what would that have to do with this?

  • How does one delete an account? Using Summit as my client

  • that seems like a really good idea. I've had a discussion with someone we temporarily banned for upvoting their own content where they likely resorted to blocking their alt other account to prevent themselves from doing this. depending on the implementation, it could even be something like auto-detecting all the accounts you use and just warning you when voting to confirm you want to upvote content by another of your accounts, with a setting to disable these prompts or exclude certain accounts from it.

  • September 2025: Updates for the .worlds and call for donations

    Jump

  • we do have some limits in place, but lemmy only allows rate limits per ip, and those are counted in each backend process independently. I'm currently working on implementing better rate limits in our load balancer.

    due to rate limits historically not working at all or not working properly, there are still various instances without decent limits. additionally, these rare limits only apply to local users. federated activities are not limited within lemmy. we recent added some fairly high limits to our automod to catch some of these cases and it's been working alright so far.

  • Can you guys remove @irelephant@lemm.ee as a mod from !guineapigs?

    Jump

  • removed from all 3

  • Request to unban ip address

    Jump

  • we don't ban individual IP addresses, but we restrict posting/commenting/media uploads from some VPN/data center IPs.

  • September 2025: Updates for the .worlds and call for donations

    Jump

  • afaik the decrease in users has mostly been on mastodon.world, where the suspected reason is to a large degree requiring registration applications to prevent spam bots. this seems to scare off a lot of users unfortunately. i'm not involved in the mastodon stuff, but afaik there is currently no system similar to what we have on lemmy or piefed to automatically accept applications after certain checks were successful.

    Jump

  • they're referring to Lemmy developers, not someone using/running .world

  • September 2025: Updates for the .worlds and call for donations

    Jump

  • I'm assuming that you're referring to the Lemmy developers. FHF supports Lemmy development with a monthly donation of €50, same as we do for Mastodon development.

    If it makes you feel better, there are enough other people donating who don't mind some or all of their donation amount going towards Lemmy development to offset your donation not being used for Lemmy development contributions.

    It's not worth the effort to set up independent purpose-bound donation pools to separate donations from people unwilling to support certain people/organizations, as the end result would be the same, except a lot more maintenance/accounting overhead. Calculating with the current expenses of €1,700/month, this is less than 3% of the total donations we'd need to cover our bills.

  • that's not a thing on lemmy. it's probably just the user setting to hide bot accounts.

  • Cannot edit my posts nor save the posts of others.

  • The account was already banned 10 days ago, if you look at https://lemmy.world/u/NoMoreTrds@toast.ooo you'll see it's gone with no content remaining.

    Looking at the account on toast.ooo, https://toast.ooo/u/NoMoreTrds, it seems that the home instance ban may not have removed all content, that's something @grant@toast.ooo should be able to fix by banning the user again with content removal selected.

    Additionally, the bans/removals don't seem to have properly federated to reddthat.com as seen on https://reddthat.com/u/NoMoreTrds@toast.ooo. This should either get fixed once the user gets properly banned from toast.ooo or can be fixed by a ban from reddthat.com e.g. by @ticoombs@reddthat.com, @example@reddthat.com or @Nankeru@reddthat.com.

  • How do I make someone the moderator of the community I created?

    Jump

  • if they've posted or commented in the community, visit the post/comment and it'll be in the menu, same place where you'd be able to report/remove/etc.

    if they haven't posted or commented, it's not possible in the default lemmy ui, but you can use e.g. tesseract or photon to do so in the community settings.

  • Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits?

    Jump

  • there is currently nothing I can see that would be a strong bot indicator. there are various indicators of an actual human using the account.

  • Video Uploads Fails Quietly Without Giving Notice

    Jump

  • when there are errors returned they should be getting displayed to users, if that isn't happening that's a lemmy bug.

    the timeout indicates that the upload was too much to be processed in a timely manner. shorter or smaller videos might work better.

  • Reports not federating from lemmy.world

    Jump

  • reports currently go to community instance and the instance of the user that was reported, other than that there is no federation on the lemmy side currently.
