But manufacturing celebrities is incorrect to life

I respect the hustle. Trolling down even to the grammar

Fair. You have a point.

Though notably Boris didn’t get away with everything after the fact. There were penalties for incoherent and inconsistent COVID and his hypocrisy.

Though it does concern me that it’s entirely possible that only happened because A) a conservative wrote a report bashing his parties and B) right wing media groups didn’t defend Boris

I remember Lizz Truss. For a short time I could winge about the conservative party to cab drivers without any fear that they would agree with them.

One of the good things about the UK is Trump style behaviour does not work here for long. Unfortunately it’s more of an objection to incompetence than bigotry but that’s life

Dishonour among thieves

I’ve heard good things about lineage OS for android and maybe apple phones but I haven’t got around to using it

Putin loves this but I suspect he’s not directly planning every dumb thing the trump team is behind. Trying to get Musk and Trump to follow instructions is challenging

Bots it was pretty poor against. But it was amazing for random trolls who manually created accounts. Did cause disruption for newer uses though you just manually approve a few comments until they get over the karma threshold. I just wish there was a one click “ignore this filter for this account”

“Which is why cis women make up <10% of the Lemmy side of the fediverse. It’s a disaster for women here.”

I mean I can believe that since it’s based off of Reddit but do you have a source for that?

For all the problems with karma it did allow for effective filtering. With most accounts on Lemmy being harder to create with captcha and approval it might not be needed

Actually I volunteer in a community centre

Honestly I’d expect more action for Lemmy than left leaning Reddit accounts just cause people here have taken steps to make a difference

Ah thanks

Oh also do those using boost can someone tell me how to mark a message as read

Probably depends on the community. Being able to see removed comments and posts can be mucked up. Mostly obvious removals and/or bans but working out what crosses the line is always awkward.

I spent most of my moderation removing obviously bad people but it’s a role that forces you to think what’s just about acceptable and that’s really complicated

As a former Reddit moderator one thing that was a real pain was the necessity for various spam filters. Hopefully with accounts needing to be applied for on Lemmy that’s much less of an issue.

I have noticed a dumb case where I posted something in one sub and then immediately posted the same thing in another sub which got auto removed and I had stupid amounts of karma and history so I’m surprised about that

Obligatory hiiii
