Why is Lemmy.world getting over moderated as it has been functioning as our r/all equivalent by obvious user choice?
Why is Lemmy.world getting over moderated as it has been functioning as our r/all equivalent by obvious user choice?
You're viewing a single thread.
What?
I assume it's in reference to this: https://lemmy.one/post/137234
where lemmy.world is enforcing on-topic posts in their lemmy.world community, which was originally intended to be just about the instance itself rather than a catchall r/all style thing
Yeah I don't get it either, we've got an all option (at least in Jerboa, I haven't used the web version much)
Look at the mod log. Tons of locks and removed content in the last hour
The post about Spez's internal memo to reddit employees was locked. WHY? Dear lemmy.world mods, this is the shit I wanted to get away from Reddit. Don't repeat the mistakes of the past.
What would that post have to do with the lemmy.world instance
I don't know. I didn't post it, I didn't lock it, I was just looking through the mod logs and you have a large thread just locked, which is the topic of this thread. I see the mod left a message about it being in the wrong place, but as I said to someone else who replied to me, it just seems a little heavy handed, especially this early in the game to be locking posts with that many replies. That's my opinion on this.
I mean, they posted an announcement and stickied it to explain why. They also have rules posted in the sidebar. I guess they could also add a copy and pasted comment to each closed thread but is it really necessary?
There are a couple Reddit centric communities out there, and since this community is supposed to be more about the lemmy.world instance in particular Reddit doesn’t really fit. I think that’s what they’re trying to do.
There’s https://lemmy.ml/c/reddit and https://lemmy.ml/c/snoocalypse and https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration and a good handful of others where those kinds of posts would probably be more appropriate.
As I just replied to another comment, I saw the last message that it didn't apply, but when it has 300+ replies already, locking it just seems a little heavy handed.
Not accusing you of this, but there might be confusion between the instance lemmy.world and the self-titled lemmy.world community. This is about moderation in the lemmy.world community, which is meant to discuss the instance; not moderation of the instance as a whole.
Maybe they need to rethink some names. Here is the thread in the mod log I am seeing that was locked. Looks like a mod locked it and put in a last message in the thread about it being in the wrong place. But with 300+ replies, was it really necessary to lock it?
