All this will do is cause endless retaliations and drama. Admins are able to see who reported a given comment, that is not knowledge that would be beneficial if visible to the user.

What distro did you try?

I’ve been on bazzite for some time now and haven’t had any of those problems

Hey buddy,

After reviewing the situation between myself and the admin team, we have decided that the actions taken by the mod in question do not align with how we expect moderators in particular to conduct themselves in the wider fediverse. We will be taken action against the user in question and locking this thread. For any additional concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to me either here or on Matrix.

If it makes you feel any better Sunaurus is still around and works on the technical stack, he is just not involved directly with day to day moderation and administration.

Lemm.ee servers are not hosted in the US and therefore not subject to US jurisdiction.

As others have pointed out, information on Lemm.ee-your posts, comments, profile info, etc. are both public, and federated with American instances.

What information you consider sensitive is dependent on your circumstances and your threat model, but generally I would avoid posting anything you deem sensitive to lemm.ee, due to the public nature of federated media.

Is THAT why we started getting so many? Huh. I guess that makes sense.

Shoutout though, replying to you from the voyager app 👌

Ah I see what happened here.

We go through our applications manually, and part of that application process explicitly states "Please say you agree to our instance rules found in the sidebar of the front page"

"Lemmy in" applications are assumed bots and get auto denied.

I DM'd you to take some further action to see if we can get your desired username.

At a minimum I’d request 5 hours a week cumulatively, with more of course being beneficial.

Tasks like reviewing reports and applications only take a few minutes and can be done on a mobile device- I personally approve most applications on my phone.

Hello everyone! Ella here,

I’d like to preface this post by thanking each and every one of our users for being here with us. Over the past year, lemm.ee has seen slow but very steady user growth. Our goal of being a general purpose, accessible instance for anyone wanting to use the fediverse the way they see fit, has largely been achieved to date.

However with that success comes an increase in administrative burden. This is reflected primarily in delays approving applications, delays in responding to requests on our support forum, and slow response to some reports.

In an effort to combat this, we are looking to bring on two new admins, whose primary duties will consist of reviewing incoming applications and reports.

Note we will be making decisions on this gradually, with input from the entire existing admin team.

Please be aware that being an admin is unfortunately quite a thankless job - if you’re doing your job well, then most people won’t even realize you’re doing anything. OTOH, if you make mistakes, there will likely be many users calling you out in public. The main motivation for joining the admin team would need to be a desire to help build and maintain this instance as a great home for yourself and others.

If there is anybody who would be interested in helping out even despite the above disclaimer, please DM me with the following info:

  • On a typical day, during what hours are you active on lemm.ee (with timezone info)
  • Do you have any previous experience with moderation/administration
  • Are you in agreement with the current state of the lemm.ee administration policy.

I’m glad you were able to get it sorted!
