Kbin moderation tools are worse. And potentially. I guess a bug bounty could be started up.

Nope, they are being paid now. They receive an immense amount of donations now, enough to likely make a solid monthly income. Take a look at their liberapay page if you don't believe me. I understand that to a degree, but it only goes so far. When they are actively ignoring safety features despite its urgency in spite of that fact is difficult to justify.

OK, I am going to take a minute away from the shit stirring and potentially provide some insight speaking as an admin who's had the misfortune of dealing with this so I can maybe shift this comment section into an actually meaningful discussion.

You can have your own opinion and feelings against lemmy.world but, this?

The only thing that could have prevented this is better moderation tools. And while a lot of the instance admins have been asking for this, it doesn’t seem to be on the developers roadmap for the time being. There are just two full-time developers on this project and they seem to have other priorities. No offense to them but it doesn’t inspire much faith for the future of Lemmy.

This is correct. Most lemmy admins likely agree as well, I don't speak for anyone but myself but I can say that I think it would be hard to find someone who disagreed. What happened today is a result of a catastrophic failure on lemmys end, with issues that should have been addressed over a month ago just being completely ignored. The lemmy devs shared a roadmap during their AMA & they essentially were more concerned with making shit go faster... that's about it.

I mean, they are correct and a majority of other lemmy admins would agree with that statement.

These comments so far stink, yall are something else.

I think having a means of viewing uploaded images as an admin would be helpful, as well disabling external image caching. Like an "uploaded" gallery for admins to view that can potentially hook into Photodna/CSAI-Match or whatever.

Please, please, please do not blame yourself for this. This is not your fault. You did what you were supposed to do as a mod and stepped up and asked for help when you needed to, lemmy just needs better tools. Please take care of yourself.

The storage size is wild though

I think building such a system of some kind that can allow smaller instances to rely from help from larger instances would be extremely awesome.

Like, lemmy has the potential to lead the fediverse is safety tools if we put the work in.

It honestly made me so sad listening to it and hearing how ableist some of it was. I understand what some of Ricks intentions were, but they do not hold up well.

And yeah. I'm glad you loved Thistlefoot! I love introducing it to other people. I'm planning on getting a hardcover copy someday to have on hand since it was just such an impactful read for me. :)

I liked it! I kind of lessen my expectations as an adult with those kind of books. I go in knowing that I'm an adult now and that those books are not aimed or written to my demographic, so I more or less just turn my brain off/suspend my disbelief. Some of the stuff honestly did not age well in Sea of Monsters specifically though.

Ooo so kinda like goto social is? Will it actually have a UI eventually like beyond that?
