MODERATORS
 

Hello world,

Today we are starting an April Fools charity event called: Lemmy Silver! accessible to all users of Lemmy with an account made before today (also non-world users!).

From now on, every 24 hours, you can comment !lemmysilver under any post in participating communities (see: this post for more information), or send a PM to this bot account with (!lemmysilver [username]) to award the poster points. We will keep a score depending on the amount of votes you send and receive. More details can be found in this post.

In this post we will keep a live leaderboard. At the end of April the users with the highest score will get these prizes:

  1. โ‚ฌ150 to a charity of choice
  2. โ‚ฌ100 to a charity of choice
  3. โ‚ฌ75 to a charity of choice
  4. โ‚ฌ50 to a charity of choice
  5. โ‚ฌ25 to a charity of choice

If you are a moderator and want to add your community to the whitelist, type !whitelistsilver in the comments or in a PM to the bot account to whitelist all the communities you moderate, or send a PM to me (Thekingoflorda).

The prize fund is made up by personal donations from members of the admin team and the moderation team, no money from the Fedihosting Foundation is used for this event. If you want to contribute to the prize fund, please send me a PM.

We also made a little survey for this event, so if you have 2 minutes, please fill it out: https://app.formbricks.com/s/cm8x96xjc022vvt01xr0z9tdp

Feel free to leave any feedback here in the comments, in !LemmySilver@lemmy.world or by sending them to my PMs. The bot's PM will probably not be read. Please be honest, but respectful and keep the TOS in mind.

Thank you everyone! Hope you have fun.

PS. The bot might be a bit unstable in the beginning, so please send all your complaints my way so I can fix the inevitable bugs.

This is great fun thanks for doing it

One quick bit of pedantry, I am pretty sure you mean "prize" not "price" throughout the entire post.

Yep, lol. Thank you!

[โ€“] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Thanks for putting this together!

It looks like a lot of people are attempting to use it on comments instead of a direct reply to the post, while expecting it to go to the commenter.

Can we get a confirmation from the bot of who the vote is going to?

This is cool!

Any rules for alts? Can people "claim" alt accounts to sum up their votes?

[โ€“] Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

well we don't allow accounts that are younger then the 1st of april, and cheating with alts that where made before that time is ofcourse not allowed. We can never catch everyone, but if we notice it, it would at least disqualify you from the event.

!lemmysilver

Lot better than that train wreck they have going on over at /r/field... well done, my liege.

~~On a side note, your gator faithful await your call to dethrone DeSantis. When will the beacons of Orlando be lit, my lord?~~

Edit: Please disregard - that was meant for the King of Florida.

Yes, that message is better for the king of florida B, not me, the king of florida A.
