The discussion on communities is better suited to !fediverse@lemmy.ml.

See rule #2 - we specifically are careful around offensive topics because we don't have the bandwidth to moderate them carefully. That can mean allowing a conversation to run to see where it goes if one of us has bandwidth - if it goes well, great. If not, it gets locked or removed, depending on the amount of interaction and the tone of the comments. Actively following each thread and removing comments as they come up isn't possible due to bandwidth and tools, so it's a question of looking at the value to the community and overall tone.

A post that is unnecessarily provocative or won't lead to a good discussion is generally removed early.

Regarding bullying, that's very much on our radar. There isn't a hard and fast rule and needs to be dealt with on a per situation basis.

Feel free to take a look at the mod log (link is in the sidebar) for examples of how we handle tougher conversations.

Initially the post itself and confirmed by the comments. Mod tools on Lemmy are very simple and I didn't have time or interest in babysitting a thread that was already looking for a negative, unhelpful discussion. If you really want this discussion, try !fediverse@lemmy.ml.

At the end of the day, it was a mod judgements call about the type of content we want to see on this community.

Asking about the worst Lemmy communities is an easy way to share negative sentiment which has no real value and causes a lot of work for the mods. We're a small team and looking at the comments that had already been posted, it wasn't something that was worth our time to keep up with. Hence rule #2.

Please tell us how it comes out! I have time extra muesli to use up and am following along with curiosity.

See the topic description: Sticky so that we have one place to discuss. This saves removing multiple posts about mobile apps per day. The post has been stickied for over two months now; pretty sure it predates the memes.

Knitting - if you find the right audience, you can chat for hours, but it can also lead to blank looks or lots of assumption.

I still dabble with orthic shorthand - it's kind of like seeing language from a different perspective.

Removing per rule #1, not an open question.
