Individual instances will have to moderate themselves. If they become chaotic, other instances should unfederate 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).
Will make a rule limiting number of communities per moderator or created per week or something like that. On the to do list.
Thank you!
Thanks for that - that's a big concern in any forum, and it's fantastic to see it addressed here :)
There should be a limit on how many communities you can create in a given time span
There should be a limit on how many communities you can run, period. This is how we got super-mods like GallowBoob on Reddit
I 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" molesΒΉ as well. It's not clear to me that a report is actually being created; it seems like a UI bug.
ΒΉ "mole" : a pop-up div that appears from the bottom of the page.
Mole? 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
And how does that stop them creating multiple accounts to multiply the limit? It doesn't.
this. 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.
Unfederation 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.
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
