This is a screenshot of the activity in this community. It looks ok to me…

The calculation doesn’t account for the leap year

Ours was 5 months ago!

It might not necessarily be that the instances are stricter, it could also simply be that those instances are targeted more often by hate/trolls so interact with those instances more often.

It’s both of those things IMO. Being stricter comes about because of being targeted more. It’s not always just responsive reactions to abuse. Often it’s pre-emptive defederation even before abuse is received, just to ensure it never happens. And that’s the part where “stricter” comes in to it, because a lot of generalist instances are happy to respond only if and when another instance becomes a problem

At least, that’s how it works on the queer instaces I admin :)

Mostly, it will be instances blocking troll and hate instances. But the line of what is acceptable varies from one instance/admin to another. The instances on the top of this list most likely just have a lower threshold for tolerating shitty behaviour

No. It just means that they’ve blocked a lot of other fediverse instances.

Either that, or you create an account on the communities home instance and give it mod privileges too, and that way you won’t ever get caught short by federation issues, blocking etc.

Shouldn’t you be taking pictures of birds though, haha.

Soon! It’s Friday evening here, but I’ll be out again this weekend :)

I just unstickied it from the Blahaj side for you

Ideally, it wouldn’t be either of those things.

Trans communities for example, Closeted trans folk benefit from people being able to see trans communities and browse them, and just lurk before they post or before they’re ready to join a private community.

Yet at the same time, sometimes, members have questions that really only other trans people can answer. And there is no problem with other folk seeing it or even engaging with the content, but once it hits all, the ratio of useful answers goes down. So being able to just stop some posts from hitting all, without otherwise locking them down would be a nice option

Blahaj zone doesn’t do downvotes, so that side of being visible on /all is a non issue. The only thing that really seems to be an issue is that we will get the odd post intended specifically for members of the community that get visibility in /all, and a bunch of non helpful/irrelevant replies.

I think it would be nice to be able to make some posts “community members only”, but other than that, I generally think communities are helped by the increased of exposure that comes from /all

Not sure. I’ve recently moved over to photon though, as it’s more feature rich than alexandrite, and almost as nice to look at

It’s helpful. The issue is the moderation with mass removal of content doesn’t always federate in ways that are obvious. And it was worse with older versions of lemmy.

Report it, and at least your instance admins can remove it from your instance

“Has a future” in this context means “Streaming media without explicit ownership rights will continue to be here/relevant in to the future, unlike the idea of ‘owning’ digital media”

So, the things I appreciate as an admin are

a) Make sure you state whether it’s simply a matter of breaking community rules, or whether it needs an admins attention. As it stands now, admins see all reports made for all communities on our instances, which can be a lot. I leave reports for communities that I don’t moderate, but they then sit around until a moderator actions them. And the large incoming volume, plus the older ones hanging around can make it hard to tell at a glance which ones require an admins eyes.

b) If it’s not immediately obvious from the reported post, tell us where to find the context we need to see why the post is a problem. “Look at posters history” / “Will make sense if you read the previous post” etc.

Cheers!

Does this not address the federation issue that is causing some instances to fall ever further behind lemmy.world?

That’s an overly kind way of summarising the DMs she got. What she got, was indignant and angry men, DMing her to abuse her, whilst insisting that she’d be safer with them than the bear.

Kbin

See, this is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about! :P

I’m not sure about that place… I’ve heard things can get quite animated in that community…
