Lemm.ee admin here. Sorry about that, y'all. We took further action and removed the mods from that community. More context in my post here: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/22091983/12982889

Hi Lemm.ee, and @almost1337 -

Sorry for the late resolution on this. As @JuiceMachine said yesterday, the post is now removed. So is the non-Lemm.ee user that posted it.

Our admin team has a general philosophy to remain as unbiased as possible, and to not over-police content on Lemm.ee. As the sidebar says, the rules are simple. We will typically leave things up and let the downvotes speak for themselves. However I will agree: that post should not have stood for 2 days like it did. !Conservative@lemm.ee might be the most controversial community on this instance, and I feel that we have not been able to properly manage it. This is due partly to technical limitations and several moderation quirks of Lemmy. Specifically: When a user reports a post in a community, the report goes to that community's moderators, as well as the instance admins. When one of those parties resolves the report (with or without action), it disappears from everyone's report queue. That being said, we (the admin team) almost never see reports from !Conservative@lemm.ee. Putting 2 and 2 together, something is definitely wrong.

I want to be transparent about our next steps. At this point in time, we are not planning on deleting the community, but we have removed the mods. Step 1 is to observe the report queue ourselves for a bit, and then make a decision. We don't want to censor unpopular views, and we also don't want to harbor the hateful content that sparked this post. Please continue to report and let us know.

Thank you!

Yeah I've always had issues with VLC on Linux, specifically the video/audio cutting off at the end. It could be fixable but I'm also kind of dumb so. I just switched to Haruna which I think uses mpv? It's been great

Frozen 2 was supposedly like 1.5b which is crazy considering how bad of a snoozefest that movie was

It is linked towards the top of the instance sidebar

Yup

As commented by others, there is a Privacy Policy in the footer, and a basic administration policy in the sidebar.

At this time we have not seen the need for a formal ToS. Moderation has always been 100% at our discretion and we strive to be as reasonable and fair with our rules.

In less corporate-speak - we are pretty chill and as long as content is legal and respectful, we generally keep our hands out of stuff.

Edit: Ella beat me, dang it. :)

Additionally some others that I love:

"Yes, oh omnipresent authority figure?" "Don't touch me! I'm super important." "So I kicked him in the head until he was dead!"

You're right, that Sunaurus admin guy is pretty cool.

I keep a bit of grass in a tray at my desk, specifically for this reason!

As someone who lives 0 minutes away from Lancaster ... Probably!

I wouldn't really call Against the Storm an RTS. It's worker placement game and a short-session city builder. You place down buildings, and assign your people to do specific things. You get modifiers, new buildings, and events as the run goes on. You have to produce specific resources to earn points to win the run. Events work where you have to assign people+resources to it before the generous timer runs out, or you get debuffs. You can plan and do things while time is paused.

Very fun and strategic, but more in a puzzley sense, not an RTS way. DotAge is another game - very similar, but turn based.

For the record, you're getting downvoted as per OP's will, but this is a fantastic suggestion.

The bare minimum is 15 pieces of flair. This is unacceptable.

Yup. She's a maneater.

Man I didn't even notice the fire in the tent until I read your comment ...

The closest GitHub issue I could find regarding this would be: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4572

Doesn't seem to relate to site bans, though. Also doesn't appear to be planned in the near future, unfortunately. I agree it would be nice if it emailed the user letting them know.

This is another issue I've been patiently awaiting the implementation of: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4699

It's in the 0.19.5 milestone. It should hopefully help to undo silly mistakes like this in the future.

Yup. This is known as Murphys Law
