MODERATORS
Ah yes, more bait articles rising to the top of Lemmy. The guy was arrested for grooming, he was sending these images to a minor. Outside of Digg, anyone have any suggestions for an alternative to Lemmy and Reddit? Lemmy's moderation quality is shit, I think I'm starting to figure out where I lean on the success of my experimental stay with Lemmy
Edit: Oh god, I actually checked digg out after posting this and the site design makes it look like you're actually scrolling through all of the ads at the bottom of a bulshit clickbait article
you are too optimistic about the internet
I fail to see what part of my comment is optimistic? xD
That anywhere else is better.
You can go to an instance that follows your views closer and start blocking instances that post low quality content to you. Lemmy is a protocol, it's not a single community. So the moderation and post quality is going to be determined by the instance you're on and the community you're with.
This is throwing a blanket over the problem. When the mods of a news community allow bait articles to stay up because they (presumably) further their views, it should be called out as a problem.
Lemmy as a whole does not have moderation. Moderators on Lemmy.today cannot moderate Lemmy.world or Lemmy ml, they can only remove problematic posts as they come and as they see fit or block entire instances which is rare.
If you want stricter content rules than any of the available federated instances then you'll have to either:
Use a centralized platform like Reddit but they're going to sell you out for data profits and you'll still have to occasionally deal with shit like "The Donald."
Start your own instance with a self hosted server and create your own code of conduct and hire moderators to enforce it.
Yeah, I know, thats why I'm finding lemmy not for me. This new rage bait every week is tiring and not adding anything to my life except stress, and once I started looking at who the moderaters were when Lemmy'd find a new thing to rave about, I found that often there was 1-3 actual moderators, which, fuck that. With reddit, the shit subs were the exception, here it feels like they ALL (FEEL being a key word here) have a tendency to dive face first into rage bait
Edit: Most of the reddit migration happened because Reddit fucked over their moderators, a lot of us were happy with well moderated discussions, and if we didnt care to have moderators, we could have just stayed with reddit after the moderators were pushed away
Go to instance that moderate like you like it.
