Reddit calls for “a few new mods” after axing, polarizing some of its best - Lemmy.world

Any luck getting the ask historian mods to switch over to lemmy. That I think would tip the scale permanently

They did make a post about it, Lemmy is no where near large enough for them to be interested. Their mission is to showcase history on a large public platform.

They said they are not happy with how the company has acted, but it would take a much bigger issue to get them to consider moving.

I also don’t think Lemmy is ready for everyone, especially in terms of moderation. The tools are very limited and hard to access. I have to navigate to each post to deal with it, and the only 3 options (right next to one another) are ‘remove post’, ‘ban from community’ and ‘appoint as mod’.

There’s also no modmail or automod tools, which are really important as a community gets large.

It’s fine for now with the communities I’m moderating, but I’d understand if some Reddit communities don’t feel ready

The lack of any automatic moderation is why I didn’t move what was my sub to lemmy.

Admins stripped me of the role on Thursday even though I complied with opening the subreddit… They put freaking powermods in my place and there is already a bunch of drama happening there.
