How this community is moderated.

~~I’m the sole moderator here but~~ I have a couple of accounts on different instances so I can see all the comments regardless of DDoS and defederaton. My main account is SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk but I’m also SomeoneElse@ lemmy.world, feddit.uk and lemmy.ca. You can contact me on any account.

EDIT: devtimi@lemmy.world has volunteered to mod with me so there are two of us now!

This community has quickly grown to 2.5k subscribers, 30 posts and a whopping 1.4k comments in just a month. Thank you to everyone who’s followed the rules and subscribed, voted, or commented. To ensure this community remains the friendly, entertaining and inclusive place it was intended to be, please report any comments that break the rules listed in the sidebar.

If you break the rules, your comment is likely to be removed. I will also message you with either a reminder to follow the rules or a warning. You get one warning. If you break the rules again, you will be banned.

Additional moderators.

So fair the vast majority of subscribers have followed the rules and discussions have been largely respectful and interesting. Thank you to everyone who’s contributed. My hope for this community is that it continues with a Lemmy feel and doesn’t turn into a Reddit 2.0. To that end I just wanted to remind everyone to read the rules in the sidebar. Please report any comments/users that break those rules.

It’s likely that I’ll need help modding this community if it continues to grow at its current pace, so if you’re interested, drop me a message. Having previous moderator experience and living in a different time zone from me (Europe, BST) would be ideal but it’s not a must by any means.

I’m open to all suggestions on how this community is run including adding or refining community rules, posting guidelines and feedback on how hands on or off you’d like the moderating team to be. Feel free to message me or comment below.

It’s good to have you here 😊

I need to find more opportunities to use “I don’t know what kind of ruse you’re trying to perpetrate” in my life. Preferably over completely banal things.

I’m immunosuppressed so even though I’ve had 6 vaccines now, I still might not have built up enough antibodies to help me survive covid if I catch it. I don’t really go anywhere and wear a mask when I do so I’m as safe as I can be… Except I need a carer to help me out for about 8 hours a week and an unbelievable amount of self employed carers aren’t vaccinated. These are people who work with the elderly and vulnerable and they refuse to get vaccinated. It’s absolutely mind boggling to me.

It’s genuine. I took this screenshot just now.

I’m not dyslexic but I have macular issues which make reading a bit difficult. Switching to the open dyslexic font on my kindle has been a game changer.

It’s not my content, but yeah that guy was really chill about it. I would be absolutely mortified if I sent the first email.

So would cracking down on the unnecessary private flights billionaires take.

You’re commenting in a community called “Reddit”…

And 5 time finalist of the Eureka Prize - which sounds impressive even if I’ve never heard of it!

Sometimes chrome doesn’t autocomplete the url I’ve started typing to it takes me to search results, not the website.

[-] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 130 points 1 year ago

I’ve just remembered “I’m a free speech absolutist, but not when it comes to parodies of me” and “tweeting my publicly available flight logs is sending out assassination coordinates”. What a joke of an individual. Cry more Elmo.

I don’t mean to be rude OP, but your entire contribution to lemmy has been 5 comments and this single post about Reddit. In order to gain traction as a viable alternative to Reddit we need OC and active participation in the comment section. Be the change you want to see and lead by example - start posting interesting non-Reddit related stuff yourself. The more people that do, the better lemmy will be.

Needlessly censoring words like sex. It wasn’t necessary on Reddit and it certainly isn’t necessary now.
