Seriously, people getting their knickers tite over that shit still?

What exactly are they advertising?

Jeez that’s just crazy, probably don’t want hosting liability or something, but that’s hilarious.

Can’t link to a hoster, even type it out to avoid a hyperlink blocker?

Yeah that’s pretty fair, it’s usually referred to people after point of disposal. I’ve never heard a custodian say they work in waste management for example.

Waste removal is usually a premo paid job, yeah they could be paid more, but still pretty cushy pay for most of them. It’s not some minimum wage job and the entry barrier is usually high school education.

The answer is simple and no one wants to admit it. It’s the parents neglecting their kids, so they occupy themselves with other stuff, usually tech. Parents want to blame something other than what they are doing.

Parents that give their kids attention and phone use don’t have the same issues, so what’s the difference? The bloody parents.

Which was subsequently debunked like most other things related to this.

Everytime kids and tech comes up there always seems to be another wild theory about it.

In English you “Throw a cocktail” to mix it

Trolling is simply noise and garbage to dispose of when it becomes an attack on the person.

Trolling doesn’t ONLY require personal attacks…. That’s the issue, mods only step in when things progress too far and have reached that point….

Moderating comments, even trolling is suppressing free speech. So it goes against the entire purpose of fediverse, it’s an issue with its own system. So people say to report them, but they won’t act on reports since just having an opinion that goes against the narrative can fall under free speech. And moderation it will create other issues.

Go elsewhere, smaller communities, less content, more moderation so less content, it’s all potential issues all the way down that are created by itself.

Or if you’re not in the path of totality…. The risk just isn’t worth it.

Let’s just not look up at the bright thing in the sky that can cause permanent damage at any given time.

Seems like a simple folley, the person I responded to said it was a floppy (it’s two layers of “mesh”?) and couldn’t remember the computer icons. Details get fuzzy, I had no idea and was curious so I just looked it up. I’ve got no horse here.

First image I could find of the desktop and there is computer icons right there.

If dragging one of those to wastebasket at the bottom right crashed the computer, it would fit the description of the event.

There’s a pretty big difference between temporary pain and permanent damage though.

Unless you royally fuck up walking on coals you get some pain, fuck up a little and you just get some blisters.

Ugghh that’s a good point, this was .world for admins, but the moderation issues seem to be non instance specific.

Also makes me wonder if some of the trolling is dealt with and its federation issues then…

Still, the amount of trolling comments, and users being banned for pretty frivolous things isn’t a good look.

There’s posts about mods complaining about users using the report button as a “super downvote” you go to those posts, there are people legit trolling in them and the content is still there.

The excuse is, Lemmy needs content, so they are very loose and liberal in applying moderation like that against users that add content.

I’ve had an admin defend a mod when I reported them with “they aren’t as bad as some of the others”. So Lemmy admins know they have moderation issues, if they fix it, they lose their content and their free labor. So they just turn a blind eye and let the mods do what they want, which is quite frankly nothing. And when asked they report you to the admins. They really only deal with illegal stuff unfortunately, since they have to or they can get in shit personally.

Trolls unfortunately add content, which is desperately needed. Some communities deal with it, larger let it go for discussion and metrics sake. Lemmy isn’t perfect, and we should be able to discuss its darker side.

What’s even funnier (sadder let’s be honest), is some of them are memed like they are some god in some of these communities they spam relentlessly.

People do report stuff, get yelled at by the mods, and then get banned by the admins for abuse of the reporting system, or mod abuse for getting clarification.

So if you do what you are supposed to, you get banned.

Would be better if moderation was actually taken seriously and the admins don’t excuse terrible mod behavior.

2x orders chicken tenders $10 =20

Bill total $10 - 20/2 = 10…

Huh… I wonder what the issue is……
