I smell the same flavour of bullshit about RedNote that I do/did about Bluesky. The articles are so obviously Astro turfing.

I've noticed a significant change in my Facebook feed recently. It's almost all content creator content now, which I'm taking as a sign that my network is no longer posting there.

We've had a couple of reports about this post, but I'm going to let it slide for the moment because the discussion seems mostly respectful. Let's keep it polite though please.

What's the best general-interest Lemmy instance? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Any plans to move [email protected] to another instance?

No. What would be the point? There's already one on .ml, and another one I've seen on a smaller instance.

Still a bit surprised you guys don’t have discussions regarding the community, that’s usually how we do it in the ones I mod, but you do you.

We do. Periodically we get the community involved in deciding the rules. Rule 6 was recently introduced after a community poll.

What are your thoughts on people who didn't vote? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Rule 6. Locking.

Edit: Unlocking based on argument that this post is general rather than about the recent US election (OP to edit title). Edit 2: OP has chosen not to edit title. Locking.

Hi Everyone,

We are looking for another person to help out moderating AskLemmy. Home instance does not matter, and Accounts will need to have a history of positive contribution to Lemmy.

DM or reach out via Matrix if interested.

What are some (not illegal) ideas to make corporations feel the pain when they allow our data to be stolen? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm getting a bit sick of large corporations a) demanding excess data as a condition of doing business with me, b) allowing it to be stolen, and c) giving zero fucks about it.

What are some things that us netizens can do to make our displeasure known.

Extra points for funny ideas.

Lemmyns of Lemmy who have received CPR, what was experience like for you? What do you remember? (lemmy.world)
 

I had to help give CPR to someone recently, and their eyes were partly open. Got me wondering whether they were partly conscious while I was doing compressions.

I thought I'd give a quick update on the efforts to combat the spam wave.

Clearly someone wants to make Lemmy a less appealing place to be. It's a deliberate attempt to spoil the good thing that we have going here. l'll leave it up to you to contemplate the motives and timing of this attack on the fediverse.

So what are the Mods doing, and what can you do to help?

The most obvious one is that we are deleting the spam as soon as it is seen. We are checking more often, but as volunteers we can't be on Lemmy 24/7. We also have some automated checking going on. This is working fairly well, but occasionally some legitimate posts are being removed. These get restored eventually, but sometimes it can take a while for this to be actioned. If this happens to you, please be patient.

As users, we can help out by reporting spam posts and by posting quality content. Contributing to our community is the best way to make sure that it remains a safe, interesting and thought-provoking place.
