Man I didn't even notice the fire in the tent until I read your comment ...

Sounds like someone doesn't like sticks

Have you tried ReVanced? It's just as good if not better

Honestly that is one of my favorite parts about the Scream movies. The victims never go down without a fight and make the killer look like a clumsy goofball lol

We do not live in a society. We are a society. 😔

So.... I was the one who removed that post. Just due to it technically promoting a crypto scam, even if a joke.

Community mod banned you though. So hey, if you wanted to be unbanned, consider it granted I guess.

Believe it or not, friends can be mischievous with one another in good faith

Hi.

The admin is suddenly ban hammer happy too.

The only person who was banned is the one who posted the Nazi salute picture.

Lemm.ee is a bunch of new admins, so it’s not longer as friendly to differing opinions as it once was.

Lemm.ee has a single new admin (JuiceMachine). The rest of us have been here for over a year and the decision to de-mod this community is not a new idea. We are not removing the community at this time, we just feel it has not been effectively moderated to fit in with Lemm.ee's rules. We want to observe how things go and take further action if needed.

Yup. She's a maneater.

Space Engineers players are fuming

Yup. This is known as Murphys Law

I remember an old podcast/audiobook thingy that was about this exact thing. The escalators went out at the mall and everyone was trapped on the 2nd floor. Sort of a parody of post apocalyptic survivor shows

What? You mean someone would just go on the Internet and lie like that?

I like the one that looks like Pringles, yum

So will you keep it unmodded? Because that seems like a worse idea. Your community, your rules, but I’m just wondering about the thoughts behind leaving a “controversial” community unmodded.

"Unmodded" might not be the right word. To clarify, there will be no "community moderators", but we the admin team will keep an eye on it for the time being. We feel that there was an issue with reports from the queue being resolved by mods, but with no action taken against unacceptable content. It made it sort of a blind spot for us, hence the Nazi salute celebration hitting the front page of the community for 2 days.

And the person who posted the Nazi salute pic is not the only person to be banned on Lemm.ee lately.

So are you telling me that lemm.ee has NOT changed it’s attitudes towards banning and what it allows on here in the last few months?

I’m not implying you are wrong, I would like qualification. Because I have seen other peopel say the same thing to. There seems to be a much lower tolerance lately.

Lemm.ee is growing pretty quickly and people get banned every day - the modlog is public. A recent uptick is possible, but our admin activity can fluctuate pretty sporadically depending on IRL stuff. Any instances of unacceptable content are due to blind spots as stated above, or us simply not having had the time or resources to effectively handle everything.

It was the same on Reddit. Antiwork culture or something (I'm not in the loop), which is reasonable to an extent, but people still struggle to acknowledge that it is possible to have careers and jobs that are extremely fulfilling to them, even if it's under a company. I work in healthcare IT and I enjoy it a lot. And I'll even say I enjoy the corpo culture-improving events that IT management holds. I like the people around me. I'd rather work feel like home than feel like slaving away in an emerald mine 8 hours a day.

Edit: I wanna say that at my last job, it was very much trying to get us to feel connected to the company and the profits. That really doesn't get through to me, I couldn't care less about the company lol. If anything at a job, I'll be connected to coworkers and people around me that I spend 8 hours a day with. The best company culture imo isn't to get the employees to simp over the company, but to make it enjoyable for employees to be around each other.

Fr, what can you do with a physics degree except teach people physics

Huh. Never heard of him

Hi Lemm.ee, and @almost1337 -

Sorry for the late resolution on this. As @JuiceMachine said yesterday, the post is now removed. So is the non-Lemm.ee user that posted it.

Our admin team has a general philosophy to remain as unbiased as possible, and to not over-police content on Lemm.ee. As the sidebar says, the rules are simple. We will typically leave things up and let the downvotes speak for themselves. However I will agree: that post should not have stood for 2 days like it did. ![email protected] might be the most controversial community on this instance, and I feel that we have not been able to properly manage it. This is due partly to technical limitations and several moderation quirks of Lemmy. Specifically: When a user reports a post in a community, the report goes to that community's moderators, as well as the instance admins. When one of those parties resolves the report (with or without action), it disappears from everyone's report queue. That being said, we (the admin team) almost never see reports from ![email protected]. Putting 2 and 2 together, something is definitely wrong.

I want to be transparent about our next steps. At this point in time, we are not planning on deleting the community, but we have removed the mods. Step 1 is to observe the report queue ourselves for a bit, and then make a decision. We don't want to censor unpopular views, and we also don't want to harbor the hateful content that sparked this post. Please continue to report and let us know.

Thank you!
