And to the contrary, I’ve seen people claiming blatant bad-faith behavior as “just disagreement”.
if I wanted to bring the Fediverse down or at least keep my customers from going there, I would sow this stuff as much as I can
Agree. And that’s been my experience here too. I made two posts critical of reddit and they each seemed to have been astroturfed by toxic reddit shills.
I think it would require a lot of active and dedicated mods and admins, which I’m doubtful is doable. I don’t know that there’s a fix for this but a “true block” (instead of the current “mute”) might help; but there are major downsides to that type of feature as well. I wrote in a blog that it might require an advanced AI to moderate everything.
Forms vary with those types of rules. I absolutely hate the ones that are autolocking after a few days/months.
It will definitely start to happen more as more forums start to join the fediverse (discourse for Eg).
Thanks but I don’t think this is a good method. We need an addon like RES, or built-in like on Saidit, or a script like this: https://gist.github.com/NathanSweet/de43d5b2cb0c0836763b
Would you mind sharing it?
I’m responding to your comment in my “Detailed guide for migrating Reddit subs to a forum (Xenforo). Including reddit-like titles, and threaded comment view.” thread.
I added a “see it in action” link https://gist.github.com/MaximilianKohler/3bdedd0185283ac30c1f1422f9626947#customizations-i-used
Also, it seems that my post was deleted without any reason/notification and I don’t see a way to message the mods. They have a modlog that just shows an endless loading icon. There is also no access to your content after it’s deleted, unlike with reddit.
More drawbacks of Lemmy to add to the list. And more confirmation that I made the right choice in going for my own forum over Lemmy.
Here. Strangely, on Reddit I get much more support. Lemmy is either filled with trolls or is being astroturfed by people who don’t want to see it thrive.
Here’s the latest time it happened: https://lemmy.world/post/11328086
The previous one was deleted, which unfortunately covered it up.
