Margot Robbie

I vote for the new name to be Margot Linux.

Speak for yourself, I first got on Lemmy to promote a movie, and the next thing I know, I was using Arch (BTW) and moderating an Android community.

I’m still not quite sure how that happened. This place.

Word of mouth. Friends. Internet.

Speaking of which, have you seen Barbie yet? I heard it’s pretty good.

Hey, it goes to help everyone get paid during the strike, so it’s for a good cause.

No, That’s “Thanks, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie” to you!

Instead of giving your money to Amazon to rent this mediocre looking movie that I know nothing about (so this is not a promotion), why not watch it elsewhere (cough cough) and use the same 25 dollars of your hard earned money to support the people who actually worked on the movie and buy a shirt here instead?

Well, LW still shows up to my all feed, so I just comment on posts if it comes up.

Off the top of my head, LW accounts can’t see posts from beehaw, hexbear, or piracy communities on db0 due to defed/blocks.

I mean, I use my LW account for local and lemm.ee for all (because it can see more posts). They are just… different, although I am getting pretty annoyed at the mass of r/politics level politcal discourse on the LW local feed.

I respectfully disagree. On our LW Android comm, the discussion quality is generally pretty good, except when a post get on the front page, then the quality just drops like a rock.

Smaller (but not too small) crowd usually lead to higher quality discussions, that’s true on reddit(default subreddits are pretty much all terrible) , and that’s true here as well. (the turning point for quality decline reddit is at about 20K subscribers). So, I don’t think the "instance protectionism lead to lower discussion quality is true at all.)

Also, I think the mod tools here is basic but perfectly adequate. You can check our community’s mod log to see how much post removal/bans we actually had to do, and it’s not a lot. Also not to brag, but I think our weekly discussions are some of the best threads on Lemmy right now.

It’s not hard, I just tell our comm’s users that I expect them to act like adults, and most of them act like adults, and we just remove the post of the few who refuses to do so (they are like in the single digits over the last months) and our admins usually handle the trolls that requires site wide bans in literal minutes here.

I don’t use bots to mod and still do not see the need for it, because it turns out that if you cultivate a good culture in your community, moderation is pretty easy. That’s just my experience here though.

Linus was so nice back then…

I like having different communities on the same topic having completely different posts. Makes things feel less boring.
