MODERATORS
Fuck Lemmy. I'm only here because there is nothing better (yet)
668 comments in 1 month. It means you like the content of lemmy
Yes. The content produced by the users.
Lemmy devs are making the same mistake reddit made. They're throwing the users under the bus, when its the users that make the platform.
You can start your own instance, and you could even develop a compatible, federated protocol like kbin. That's the beauty of the fediverse.
Starting my own instance would just make me legally vulnerable because the tools for moderation dont exist.
I will likely jump to sublinks when available, which was created because of these issues.
Why?
Mostly because the devs are assholes that are throwing instance admins anf users under the bus by refusing to work on moderation tools and data privacy law related issues.
Sounds like the instance admins should contribute. Hiring a third person to sneak 'moderation tools and data privacy law related issues' related development ahead in the queue would probably go a long way in stopping to 'refuse to work' on it. Or they could straight up actually help build the software.
Are they refusing patches, or are you just expecting people to do what you want for free?
They are refusing patches and we as a community do expext them to address serious legal issues that they are being paid by the community to address.
Its funny to watch them make the same mistakes as reddit.
