“Let Chaos storm, let cloud shapes swarm; I wait for form”
Nope, as far as I can tell that’s not a thing on any instance. You can either have it open or limited to Admins. Reddit has the feature fully open by default. I guess the idea is to encourage people to create the spaces they need/want on demand without fuss.
Oh, that’s good. I apologize for coming off as harsh in that case. I remembered a situation where someone was arguing with me saying that it would be bad or useless since community mods need to run their own communities and shouldn’t be bypassed. Glad to see its being worked on.
Nope they’re on lemmy.sdf.org. Lots of people are talking about this incident right now, in fact I just posted a comment mentioning as many admins as I could think of to help resolve the situation.
This person isn’t doing that though, they’re clearly freebooting off other instances.
A troll can also be a PTB since anyone can create communities and ban people from them.
Go into your account settings and you should be able to add them from there. If not that really needs to be addressed because you could do it before.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Yeah I can’t really say I’m surprised. I’ve known about this for a while now. I’ve asked Lemmy’s Devs about having more granular report control or admin only reports for situations like this but they refuse to listen and instead just go on about shoulds and how community mods should manage their community.
I hope so too. I tried reporting on my account there but I don’t know if it went through. Seems like that loser is still online since I got banned after making less than 5 reports.
Yeah this guy is an alt-right troll trying to spread as much hate as he can, PTB for sure. I recommend contacting as many instance admins around the Fediverse as you can to make them aware of this issue. Hopefully SDF’s admins intervene and put an end to this situation, otherwise it’s not looking good.
Edit: I started reporting their posts on my other account and I was banned after just submitting five reports for reason “Libtard”.
No SDF is a general purpose instance for anyone interested in Old Tech, Nostalgia, or Linux and Open source in general. It seems this asshole just managed to get in and start posting evil shit. Hopefully they ban his ass from there forever.
I hope so too. I really like SDF. It would be a shame if they let shit like this slide and ended up widely defederated and boycotted.
This person is an alt-right troll banning anyone they believe disagrees with them even slightly.
PTB for sure, actually the whole modlog over there is one big shitshow. Really hope they deal with it.
Dude give it a rest, you were asked to stop many times. This shit ends here, and now. Do not contact me or mention me anymore.
I use almost the same setup, except I don’t use Windows on Desktop.
I usually do smaller things when on mobile, both due to Storage and Data Usage considerations. For bigger stuff I mainly use my PC and qbittorrent.
qbittorrent on PC and libretorrent on Android.
You really can’t take a hint can you?
Yeah that is true, at least it is for all the ones which aren’t critical-mass communities or instances (ones that are a large percentage or engagement and userbase here). The ones that are, would likely be more detrimental and someone banned from those would be more likely to leave Lemmy, or violate the will of admins by evading those bans on new accounts.
You also have no control over whether reports federate out to other admins, Carcosa showed that with their bad faith accusations that I was replying to them via reports in !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com when I was actually reporting them for being an ass and violating the community’s and instance rules. On Mastodon I would’ve simply unticked the Forward report to Hexbear option, but Lemmy doesn’t let you do that, it by default pulls out all the stops to let everyone know it’s being reported, with no discretion whatsoever. I’m kinda surprised they don’t just make them publicly visible to everyone *sarcasm*.
