And within a minute, you are added as mod:-).
@Anticorp@lemmy.world Awesome! I added you as a mod. Apparently, as Blaze mentioned, you won't be able to view actual "reports" though, from your Lemmy.World (LW) instance. Do you want to create an account on this Discuss.Online (DO) instance so that you can view those? If so, please reply here from that account and one of us can then add it to the mod list. If not, you could still help by being able to do moderator actions, but e.g. if someone replied to an older post and it violated the rules then your attention would not be brought to it. It's entirely your call but I advise making a DO account b/c it's easy, a web browser can be bookmarked to DO even if you normally use an app to access Lemmy with your main LW account, and you can quickly check in ~5s I think if there are no reports to view (I've never seen such a report but probably actually reading them would take longer), which is perhaps likely to be the case on most days? (and if not then that is all the more reason to have access to those reports!)
It looks like Nutomic wants to add cross-instance moderator reporting to the Lemmy sourcecode, but not until ~0.20 so sometime next year rather than "soon".
@Anticorp@lemmy.world @admiralpatrick@lemmy.world How do we want to communicate about mod matters? If it helps, I just joined Matrix (@openstars:matrix.org, although I'm not certain that I linked my account there to mine here - I don't see any indicators to that?) - should we use that, like we could create a room, or are there existing rooms we should be joining? (now also @Blaze@feddit.org) I've never modded anything here on Lemmy before so any advice is welcomed here about what people tend to do - like what they find works best?
I could be very wrong here, but I get the feeling that you are kinda chaffing about the restrictions that Germany is imposing upon LW, and wishing to go outside of those bounds, but aren't quite realizing the enormous extent that the EU protects people's privacy.
Here in the USA, we have far fewer rights, and we know it. First, be aware that when bad-faith people use bad-faith words to that effect, they are lying (in bad-faith:-D): it's "for your protection tho", and "for your convenience" (bull shit!). And as we continue the slide into fascism, I fully expect people to end up in literal and actual and irl jail as a result of what they said. "Freedom of speech" is just mere words - probably within a minute of me hitting send on this, these very words as well as yours will get sucked into a government-funded datacenter that records and analyzes just about literally all words on the internet, hoping to stop "terrorism" or whatever (which it probably does help, but what will happen when the new administration finds out that this capability already exists - to what ends will they put this "weapon" that lies solely within their hands to use, as they see fit, "for our protection" and all that?).
"Freedom of speech" is what a toddler cites as their defense after they've run up and punched you in the face. Never mind how one has little to nothing to do with the other - it's words that they've heard spoken elsewhere, by people acting as bullies, and it halfway worked for those other people (or at least it took YEARS for e.g. the Alex Jones situation to go through the courts), so perhaps worth trying out for themselves as well?
I agree with lazyguru and to expand upon their words: what you seem to be wanting - ACTUAL freedom of speech - is something that I feel like exists far more in various EU nations (granted, perhaps a bit less in Germany now, or if not now then like the USA, expected to change more towards that direction in the near future as a result of the election results?) than the USA. We talk about it here, like a LOT, but the actual reality of making it work has happened elsewhere. Also, things change over time and at the dawn of the internet, the web really was a different place, where places like 4chan (sorry to keep using that extremist example, fwiw here I don't mean to imply that what you want is a toxic hellscape, but rather I'm trying to highlight its focus on being a purely "free speech" platform) were allowed to exist - but this is a different world now, and especially it will become a much more different one still in the near future.
So saying things like your hypothetical scenario presented in https://feddit.org/comment/3562325, that is pushing things to quite an extreme degree imho. Akin to hosting links to pirated or CSAM content even if not hosting such content directly, i.e. still something that could get DO in actual legal trouble, even if nobody were to go to jail for such (although realitistically, someone very well could, if they say it first and then they were to go out and do it?). I presume that you are wanting the more purist hypothetical form of argumentation, divorced from practical reality - but such does not exist, least of all in the United States (possibly, probably even, it might in the EU?).
And in any case - not that it matters b/c the DO admins have declared that such as your hypothetical example is not tolerable on this instance - I don't want to be anywhere near that kind of discussion, above and beyond issues of legality or morality. Tbh I am already uncomfortably weirded out and have had to halt / take a break from reading all the variety of posts seemingly everywhere on Lemmy as it is now - like I get that people are upset and they need a place to talk and even vent, but my own preferences are valid as well, and it's a bit much for me to handle, you know? Though I would not mind helping to mod (I'll give up the top mod spot if someone volunteers to receive it from me) a community that has a more "fun" focus:-).
You might/probably need to make a comment or post within this community first before that can happen. Your last/only comment from that account was from 17 days though. Make a comment reply from that account here, and then we can add it to the mod list as well (I'll make sure to do it - unless you tell me to wait to see if you are capable of doing so remotely, as a test?).
All of my favorite foods are foreign, although I suppose technically pizza was invented by like Italian immigrants in NYC (or something like that?).
Mostly I like seafood, probably bc we weren't allowed to have much of that when I was growing up.:-P
Damn. I've seen things like The_Picard_Maneuver moderating TenForward from both LW and STW, but that must be purely a "convenience" thing. You have enough alts and Fedi-knowledge that I believe that if there was a way to receive those, that you of all people would know:-).
So I guess at least one top mod needs to have a DO account then, while other mods can help curate but they'd be doing it entirely without being able to view the reports?
To confirm: no you don't want to be a mod in a community that allows for more serious discussions (like whether jury nullifications are ethical), or just no you don't want to be the owner / sole mod? If the latter, note that @admiralpatrick@lemmy.world has also volunteered to help:-D, so in this case would you be okay to be the "top mod" and then him listed after you?
I’m not considering defederating or blocking them or anything like that
Oh I had not thought that far ahead - well, wrt your instance anyway - so those were just my own thoughts along parallel lines:-).
There’s also a Lemmy bug where “top mod” can do things that admins even can’t
It would actually make sense if a top mod could transfer ownership whereas an admin could not, presuming there was also a way to revoke a top mod position. I have seen admins join a community as a mod then leave it (e.g. https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModAddCommunity&modId=5903942 like BuyItForLife), so presumably that could be what is happening there, where they become top mod themselves then transfer in that capacity rather than as mod.
I do know they [Beehaw] mod heavily, but there definitely seems to be some lag
Hrm that could explain it. I don't see the post anymore that I would have thought would have done it - https://beehaw.org/post/17149294, with title "Donald Trump Has Not Won a Majority of the Votes Cast for President" - so despite the many tens of upvotes in it that I saw... well, indeed these are tumultous times.
No, I would have to federate with an instance to see content from there, even if it’s relayed through a third instance
That is what I feared - so the defederation lists must match exactly, for this type of cross-instance modding, or else what you do not know can very much hurt the users in the gaps in-between them. Assuming that cross-instance modding works at all, which according to Blaze it might not.
We may need to do still more hijinks but we can see how it shakes out?!:-)
Oh wow thank you. I have definitely tried that before and it failed, but probably there are certain conditions that needed to have been met first, like perhaps the post must already be there and/or the community already have started federating. So this feature definitely would have fallen between the cracks of knowledge for me if you hadn't said so.:-)
Omg these sound ridiculous.
