Thank you so much comrade! I loved working with you and the other admins and am very grateful for the experience!

It was my pleasure! Thank you for the opportunity!

Hi! This isn’t really a question, but I was a former admin on Lemmy.ml and I just want to say that I really appreciated the opportunity to be on your team and it was a really valuable experience for me! I’m no longer an admin due to inactivity and personal life events causing me to no longer have the time to serve such a role, but I enjoyed the time I was and I really hope I was able to make a positive contribution to the instance!

Thank you for your continued work developing this project and running your instance comrades! This is still by far my favourite fediverse platform, actually, favourite social media in general. I intend to continue using both Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad and I hope I can continue to contribute by using Lemmy when I have the chance!

If the government really wants to come for you there’s little you can do, but I’m more concerned about your average basement troll who may have gotten really pissed off during one of the debates/flamewars that have been popping up and is looking to get even. We’ve already had to ban some… interesting characters… and I just don’t want to give them any easy targets from this site.

Bad.

Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad.

Don’t threaten me with a good time

Homophobia is not allowed, in jest or otherwise.

It falls under being civil.

Good point!

It’s not official, but someone has made a mirror bot for the EFF’s Twitter: https://mastodon.social/web/@eff

Obviously the biggest issue there is that no one can actually contact the EFF by replying to those Mastodon posts, versus they would see your replies on Twitter. A mirror bot is good for keeping up with the information an organization posts, but it definitely isn’t a “presence” of that organization on the Fediverse.

Thanks!

@dessalines@lemmy.ml or @nutomic@lemmy.ml, can you mod me to this community so I can pin stuff?

Good point!

Basically, the image claims that the fediverse saves you from traditional social media, and can deprogram you from the dark patterns that those platforms imposed on you.

This thread is being brigaded by homophobes, so unfortunately, I am going to have to lock it for the time being.

I’ve forwarded your application to the admin Matrix room, thanks!

I provided my two cents!

This is just my opinion:

Must haves:

• A history of quality activity on Lemmy.ml or another instance we federate with, such as amicable discussion, links to reputable web resources, etc.

• Frequently online. I’d say at least once a day is ideal, but I also understand that you’re a volunteer, and will reasonably have other things going on where you might be missing for several days or otherwise intermittent at times.

• An interest in helping to develop the Lemmy community and ecosystem.

• No recent violation of instance rules or Lemmy project code of conduct.

Nice to have but optional:

• History of reporting rule breaking content, particularly spam.

• Has provided inputs on Lemmy development or the the direction the Lemmy community is going.

• Already a moderator of a community, or an admin on another instance (we will use your moderation history to assess your application).

• Activity on the Lemmy Matrix rooms (please Link your Matrix).

• Activity on the Lemmy project GitHub or other source control site that Lemmy is on, either as a code contributor or making/discussing pull requests (please Link your GitHub/other source control website).

It would also help to specify your time zone and the languages you know.

Basically, use Matrix, XMPP or Briar. Because you’ll have to install special stuff to make email even somewhat secure anyway, so why not just switch to something that’s far MORE secure by default?

Out of the loop here. Who’s Vowsh?
