Is there a quick way to know which instance might need mods?

As per title. I’ve been wondering this. Depending on the time I could spare, I’d like to get involved a bit more in Lemmy, and I suppose other users could be willing too as well. Moderating could be a way, I guess. I’ve been an admin for a 8-9k+ users Discord server for years, but I love Lemmy so much I’d like to see if I can be somehow useful here. I don’t think I’m power tripping at all, but have zero tolerance for harassment, racism or sexism, bigotry and honestly want to keep neocons and bigots/trolls out of Lemmy as long as it’s humanly possible. Whenever in doubt, I generally abstain from using any moderation power and talk with other mods/users to find the best course of action. I’m posting in this community in hope that other users may be wondering about it and may find any answer useful.

I know this one is as old as broadband internet, but it will never stop making me laugh. So just sharing again.

Oh and there’s also this one ftom H2G2 :

Slartibartfast: Perhaps I’m old and tired, but I think that the chances of finding out what’s actually going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say, “Hang the sense of it,” and keep yourself busy. I’d much rather be happy than right any day. Arthur Dent: And are you? Slartibartfast: Ah, no. [laughs, snorts] Slartibartfast: Well, that’s where it all falls down, of course

What's the underrated quote that will stick with you for life?

What's the underrated quote that will stick with you for life? - Lemmy.World

Even better if you can provide your own understanding of its meaning. Mine would be : “Nothing kills a man as much as being forced to represent a country” (and err considering the context, I must stress it has nothing to do with the current US shitshow), by a WW1 soldier, illustrator and writer named Jacques Vaché. For me it just means being forced into representing a group (national, of course, but maybe also social, racial, sexual, professional, any kind of group) or defining one’s identity only by reference to a group is to be avoided at all costs. Note : Its not the same, imho, as engaging in a collective struggle or defense against a common oppression. How about you?

As I turn 40 in a few days...

As I turn 40 in a few days... - Lemmy.World

… I realize sure, some things are good, some aren’t, struggles are here, and I’m even not one of those having it the worst. But I just wanted to write something down for all those of you that are younger : I can’t, sadly, know when or how it ends, or even if it will at all in certain cases, but you know all this self-criticism, self-flagellation, constant lack of self-confidence? Well, there may be a time when it all ends. Completely, totally, entirely, and just like that, you realize you’re free from it, probably forever. It doesn’t make everything ok, doesn’t heal anything and won’t change anything to your denied need for justice and anger against subservience or all the evils people, or you, live through. But this whole thing about self harming, physically or psychologically? THIS may end. It ended for me like 6 or 7 years ago, probably to never come back. Nothing particular happened, you know. Stuff just healed. It took time but it did happen in the end. And I dearly wish it will for you all too. Cheers and take care.

Is is weird to try to behave perfectly?

Is is weird to try to behave perfectly? - Lemmy.World

Alright, so, something I’ve been talking about with my therapist a lot, but I thoughts folks out here could have interesting povs. To sum it up, I’m constantly trying to act like a saint (figuratively, I’m an atheist). There’s one exception to this, people holding power and making others miserable in any way. But basically, you know, this whole mentality of banishing anger, jealousy, egoism, selfishness, greed, desire for power and authority and all that? That’s me. I don’t mean I manage to do so constantly, but that’s what I strive for. One could think, and I did think, it was a desire for social praise. But really, when I get praised, which happen a lot, I don’t care and that’s more awkward that anything (like : woa dude, it’s not the Oscars or something, chill out). And little by little, I started to think it didn’t have much to do with being praised, that’s just striving to live as I think it’s better to live. To live a life I’ll me content with when the grim reaper will come and all praises won’t mean anything anymore. My therapist thinks it’s not really an issue as long as it doesn’t cause myself pain (which it does because I’m deaf to my own needs 50% of the times). But I don’t see a satisfying way to live apart from that. One potential misinterpretation I’d like to prevent. It’s a very strong drive, but it doesn’t make me blind. It really doesn’t happen a lot but whenever I’m angry, I’m not feeling guilty. I know why I feel this, it’s just that I didn’t have any other way to manage a situation/feeling. I’ll just strive to do better next time by trying to modify the situation so that anger will not be the most probable answer. Do you find it weird? Anyone adopting this kind of behavior? Maybe everyone does. It may sound a bit megalomaniac, like hey I’m exceptional, but it really isn’t what I mean. To my own eyes, I’m not a bad or a good person. I’m just trying to be what I want. If somebody tries to be someone different, it’s all fine by me. TL;DR : Is having high moral standards for one’s self weird or toxic?
