Welcome all to Mildly Infuriating! I’m aware many of us are reddit refugees. Lemmy.world seems to be the best instance that complies with my morals and principles.
I want to help grow this instance. I’m bloody passionate! That said I always want to share that passion and branch out to other communities and encourage a healthy environment.
I would like to recruit moderators, but the moderation is not limited to just mildly infuriating. I have other projects in mind and those are as follows:
LemmyShitpost - For nonsense memes, shitposting and dumb stuff. Made a goofy meme/shitpost? Post it here.
LemmyBeWholesome - for wholesome memes, cute pictures, nice comments. Post those here.
Lemmy Review - For mocking reviews, bad listings, q&as, basically anything and everything related to the wacky world of e-shopping. (not to be confused with Etsy Sellers, which appears to be a more serious community.)
…
With that said. I have rules for moderation and those are as follows:
- Uphold the rules in compliance with Lemmy.World.
- Ensure that all moderators comply with the rules, corruption, censorship of content and intent to censor content for personal gain will be against the rules of this community.
I have witnessed the following on reddit and I want to discourage such behaviour as it’s bad practice and a detriment to the community.
-
Removing/deleting posts from users as a moderator and reposting them.
-
Banning/Removing users due to a personal beef when the user has not been in breach of community rules.
-
Removing/Hiding opnions from other users that disagree with practices/actions made by the community in question. Opinions should be encouraged and listened too.
-
Using information provided by users on the platform to blackmail, harass or engage in unsavoury practices.
-
Allowing users special privildges in exchange for favours/currency or friendships. …
If you are not disuaded by anything written above. Then you can send me a dm with information on why you would like to join the communities.
…
If you are not interested in becoming a moderator but would like to branch out your community to this one then feel free to post your community below this message.
I am aware I am a human so I may not get it right, but I am open to listening/learning as the fediverse expands over time.
Welcome all new fediverse users! Thanks for taking your time to read this post and thanks for joining the mildly infuriating community in the ongoing fight against social media enshitification!
You must log in or register to comment.
Thank you for taking the initiative! I hope the fediverse grows large and diverse, that we may knock the corporate run sites out of the market and give the control back to the collective.
I’m curious though, why are the communities prefixed with “Lemmy?” Is it so other fediverse platforms know what platform it originated on?
Lemmy Review is a play on words for me as in “Let me” but instead “Lemmy” It’s just a playful name above all things.
Oh my goose, I didn’t realise that Lemmy could be read as “Let Me.” That’s so clever! I’m a sucker for puns! That was all it took to convince me, haha.
This is so cool
Love it, I am looking for rulesets to adopt for my instance. I would love to incorporate your work!
Would be fantastic to have you! I am working on the Cross-Community Coalition. Something to bridge all communities and bring instances together. I will be posting more about it shortly as I have some errands to run!
For the Fediverse! :)
For clarification: is this Lemmyverse contiguous with the original subreddit?
Just a warning about community grabbing because there was a post somewhere which I can’t recall about them grabbing up communities that existed on reddit for the sole purpose of power tripping
I and others don’t want to have the same power mod issue where mods control a bunch of subreddits
As in the post we mention corruption of bad mods/power mods. Members of the C3 community do not share mods always either.
Those who do not maintain these rules within their community will be removed from the collaboration.
Fortunately with Lemmy, seeing bad mod behaviour is easy as the modlog is very transparent. You can see when action has been taken against a post within this collective. Then also notice when it doesn’t fall under our guidelines.
We are only removing posts which break the rules as seen in the sidebar
I have a question regarding the community here. As we are off Reddit and all, for me it’s mildly infuriating that the little alien is still on the top banner. Some money grabbing little pig might want a penny for its use 😅
