bobadukwhat's the asshole mitigation plan?
Individual instances will have to moderate themselves. If they become chaotic, other instances should unmoderate them. But as users, you should also subscribe to communities you think are behaving well and block users/communities that are not.
Also, I have seen some users who are "grabbing" as many communities as possible, namely @[email protected]. Dude is moderating 60 communities, in an instance that started a few days ago.. He is not building the communities, he is just power tripping it seems. @ruud@[email protected], something might have to be done about that in the future. I suggest some sort of "requestcommunity", in which you can apply to become the mod of said community, if community is being badly run (or not run at all).
@ruud - LemmyWorld
Admin of a lot of fediverse servers, among which the .world ones: - lemmy.world - mastodon.world - calckey.world You can find me on these servers as @ruud I receive a lot of messages, direct and mentions. I can’t reply to them all. If you have an issue, please e-mail at [email protected]
There should be a limit on how many communities you can create in a given time span

Yes, I thought of that, but then I am sure they would just create alt accounts to create as many communities as possible. I think the requesting of communities is still the best way. If one wants to be the mod of a community that already has a mod who is moding 50 other communities and is not doing jackshit..
There should be a limit on how many communities you can run, period. This is how we got super-mods like GallowBoob on Reddit
oryxAgreed on both of these. I made four within my first day or so, with three being pretty niche to very niche, and one with the potential to get large if Lemmy continues to grow. After I made that, I called it quits; I made new homes for my favorite Reddit communities and I know that's all I can likely handle if they take off.
And how does that stop them creating multiple accounts to multiply the limit? It doesn't.
MrPoopyButtholeI upvoted this post and I saw a popup "report created" this is not what I intended, I completely agree with this.
I've seen spontaneous "report created" moles¹ as well. It's not clear to me that a report is actually being created; it seems like a UI bug.
guyMole? What's the difference between a mole and a toast?
I'm not sure. I'm not a frontend dev myself; "mole" was the term I heard from people who were.
Oh. I think they are most commonly called "toasts". Called such, because they pop up from the bottom like toast from a toaster. I've also heard them just referred to as "alerts" or "notifications", but I think that's a bit ambiguous. Android likes to call interactive ones "snack bars", which is kind of silly. "Moles" is new to me as a term for them, but I think it's quite fitting too, yeah, I like it
Oh phew, that happened to me earlier - I thought I had accidentally submitted a false report
PropaGandalfthis. Ihateany "verification" or "request" process as somebody has to do it. But saying that you cant create more than x communities per month or y communities per yearwould pretty much solve the problem.
teoriaUnfederation should not be used so cavalierly. Instead, community blocks. I know many people that chose lemmy.world because it doesnt block anything and hope it stays that way.
Yeap chose lemmy.world because of the server experience. But I've already blocked the communities I don't want to see at a user level.
AtaraxiaAgreed. I'd rather avoid individual communities instead of instances.
What about the ability for users to block instances? I'm sure there's a way I'm not thinking of that this would be problematic.
Seems best to me
Yeah, I was going to say. I want to create communities from reddit that are not yet in here. But I don't want to be the one running it. On the other hand. I don't want a guy like that running a community I like. I would gladly create these communities and hand them over to proper mods later on if that's possible.
I'm not mod material.
A_Toasty_StrudelIt's absolutely possible. I already have a hundful of mods helping keep an eye on TIFU just a day after creating the community. There's definitely people willing to help things run smoothly.
TIFU - Lemmy.world
Welcome to TIFU. This community will stand as a tribute to the fuck up in all of us. We all do something stupid from time to time, this is your place to share and laugh about it with folks on the internet! Da Rules: 1. Use proper formatting A. All titles must start with TIFU. B. All posts must have a TL;DR at the end. Some of us are too lazy to read your story, sorry. C. Use the NFSW Tag, if a Post isn’t Appropriate in General but still follows the rules. (Sex stories and etc.) 2. Posts must be about you. 3. Must be your fault. 4. A few things that aren’t allowed. A. No Rape / minors/ bestiality. No death of animals. No glorification of major crimes. B. Illegal activities that you glorify or giving advice on how to do something illegal. 5. Must be actual fuckups No humblebrags or stories that have zero consequences and don’t go anywhere. Eg “TIFU by sexy sex”. Moderator discretion. 6. Be civil and don’t be disruptive No racism/ bigotry/ homophobia/ transphobia. No personal attacks on other users, no name-calling. No low-effort “this didn’t happen” type comments. 7. No Self Promotion No making posts with the express purpose of promoting your business/video game/porn career. Even if not mentioned within the text of the post, alluding to links on your profile is not allowed. This covers implying you will set up a stream/public link/onlyfans in the future, having set up one in the past, or anything along the lines of “upvote this comment if you want me to do this.” These examples are by no means comprehensive, just don’t self promote. 38. Mod Discretion Mods have the right to supersede any rule and make removals as we see fit, which may or may not be the rules listed in this subreddit.
Same, I want r/collapse and r/climatechange to come to lemmy but I also do not want to be the one running the show. I'm way too inactive regularly for that.
Isn't this the situation on Reddit, all the big subs moderated by a handful of people? I remember blocking them all years ago.
This is such a good find and 100% something that should be look at. Sorry, I'm also not mod material and can't chip in (with time)
RuudWill make a rule limiting number of communities per moderator or created per week or something like that. On the to do list.
Thanks for that - that's a big concern in any forum, and it's fantastic to see it addressed here :)
Thank you!
Yeah we don't need supermods here
