You'll have to ask a site admin like @ruud@lemmy.world
post
Now the creator has gone inactive and hasn't been around for for 4 days.
Question from someone who might want to start a couple of magazines/communities: Is being away for four days long enough to be considered inactive?
No, it shouldn't be, many people have commitments and as long as there is a mod active then the community is being covered.
This is the second post I've seen on the matter today and it's disappointing that we are already seeing people trying to assure they are the King of their little domain.
I was tired of these politics in Reddit and I'm not eager to continue seeing it here.
I just want someone to add a proper description. I'm sorry if that's me trying to become a king of some little domain.
People really ascribe the worst to things sometimes.
I mean you got snoo in your name, bud, you kinda brought it with you.
There has to exist a process by which new mods can take ownership of abandoned communities. Thatβs not Reddit toxicity, itβs day to day business.
Idk, was it necessary to make your name a reference to reddit? My fuckin' name is assbutt, dude, the bar isn't very high here. It's pretty fuckin' weird to call yourself 'snoo' while you go around decrying the evils of reddit.
By which decree?
Come on, are you fuckin' serious right now? If you create 'SnooFuckersAnonymous' then abandon it next week, what the hell are the admins supposed to do with it? According to you, they have to leave it there, empty and unused, forever, instead of letting someone make something out of it. That is asinine beyond words.
For someone who loves reddit enough to adopt the name of their mascot, you sure don't seem to understand how it worked. You're acting as if subreddit requests were exclusively hostile takeovers. Part of requesting a sub was proving that you had made every attempt to contact the existing mods.
Transferring ownership to new mods is basic maintenance in a place like this. Nobody is suggesting we steal communities from their owners and hand them out to trolls.
Sending an email to info@lemmy.world creates a ticket. Ruud got back to me slightly after 24 hours.
I've been sober since January 2nd and the creator asked for mods because he made it when he wasn't sober and I messaged him I'd be a mod but he never replied. I was active on the subreddit
I sent a message to the mod because spacebar shows up as a bot on my browser. I think we need Ruudβs help.
What basis do you have for this? What do you mean "shows up as a bot"? Their history is no more suspect than your own, there's just less of it.
I wish everyone would just chill with this shit. It's been a week, we don't need hall monitors yet.
Jeezo, I just want to update the community description.
No offence, but you come across as a bit stressed.
This person is claiming you are a bot, and I am asking for evidence to support the accusation. There is nothing deeper here, but thanks for the diagnosis I guess.
Don't mistake colorful language for ire. Just because I said "shit" doesn't mean I'm upset. Imagine The Dude is reading my comment to you with a joint in the corner of his mouth; that's closer to the tone I had in my head (and it's not far off from the truth lol). It's all good, homie π€
It shows up on the desktop at work which is Edge browser next to username. But not on mobile safari. ___
So you blindly trust your browser rather than doing any investigation of your own? Maybe glance at the personβs profile next time, see if they behave like a bot before calling them out lol
I did read their posts and some donβt jive. Also if browsers are mislabeling users, thatβs another issue.
Since when does Edge flag bots? I legitimately have no idea what you're talking about. I can't find any information about anything that sounds even remotely close to a baked-in bot flagger in Microsoft Edge.
You said your work computer, do you know what extensions might be installed?
Lemmy has an option to mark an account as a bot under user settings, OP had a bot icon next to their username on all of their posts with a message that said the account was a bot. They have since disabled that setting for their account, so it no longer shows up, but you can see how someone could have jumped to the conclusion that the account was a bot (this icon won't show up on all Lemmy UIs, it's missing from the mobile website/Jerboa app, but it's shown on desktop). Anyway, no need to use such incendiary language, you may not be angry but it can easily come off as that over text.
It shows up on edge browser next to username which is at work today. But not on mobile safari. Might be a glitch?
Username says you are a bot.
