Didn't they file a complaint with the labor board and were reinstated with back pay?
If by panic you mean AI hype, then maybe.
For example, this post is just as sensationalist.
upvoting things on the main lemmy.ml page spins forever.
this is called "meta-moderation" and is a good idea @notbabayaga@lemmy.world :) it's part of the Santa Clara Principles of transparent moderation (https://santaclaraprinciples.org/)
I run the r/kbin subreddit.
In person conversation and online conversation are very different. Just like the mechanics of picking a lock and hacking computers in another country are very different.
Online conversations can be unintentionally published with mistakes (even the best of us make typos or post to the wrong chat), and the blast radius is much worse.
Online conversations are much easier to misinterpret due to lost context.
If it's a public figure or a company doing something shady, yes, it'll end up on Internet archive.
If a user wants to remove their selfie; you let them, because it's their content.
Whether another site violates gdpr and data deletion requests doesn't mean your site can too.
Lemmy and kbin should be respectful to the user and follow deletion logic, just like how you can delete a mastodon post and other servers will respectfully delete it.
Yes, someone might have scraped it, No, that doesn't remove your liability just because it's up on someone else's copy, And even if you aren't under liability you should treat your users well.
It's the right thing to do.
"should we have a 2 cent sales tax to fund schools or a 4 cent one" is politics. "Should trans people exist" is not politics.
Or, rather, don't argue with someone who doesn't think you're a human being. Don't give them a forum.
I mean I'd love to help - either modding someone's server, offering sysadmin support, or starting my own #lemmy or #kbin instance :)
they are federated in the sense that they're an email-like entity. it's just they're not all merged together I suppose.
So, the way that I figured it, you could have the !something@someserver concept, which I call groups (lemmy calls them communities), and the collision of those (say, !something with no server), would be called "regions" because they'd be several competing communities trying to use a shared resource. Moderation of a region would be a nightmare.
You could probably make a reddit-esque "multireddit" style view that represents the "regions" concept - just know that you are posting to a particular community with particular mods, in the end.
you underestimate how many kinky furry technologists there are on the fediverse ;)
