A co-op campaign I’d be down for, but I can’t say I’m excited for this. I’m just not feeling the vibe.

As a huge fan of the original, but disappointed with the sequels, I’m cautiously optimistic!

In my experience, there’s only been a handful of mods and an equally small number of instances where I feel that is likely to happen, but for the most part it seems most mods have a pretty light touch. I’ve only had one negative experience with a mod, personally, and I post quite a bit.

Comment removal is federated, but .World can only remove comments left in .World communities, they have no power to remove comments left in a different instance’s community.

So if the mods of thing@lemmy.world are acting in a way you don’t approve, you could use thing@sopuli.xyz instead, and the .World mods would be powerless to moderate you.

No prob, glad I could help! ^^

And sorry for sending you on that goose chase!

You can’t interact with the ban action itself (only admins who instance banned someone have a use for that). But If you removed their comment right after the ban, the removals should also be in the mod log near it.

After doing some searches in the modlog myself for that user in the screenshot, I also could not find a comment removal action by you.

I then searched your community for any comments made by that user in the standard lemmy search (by selecting comments as a search field, then your community, and then their username as the creator). This showed two comments by them in this thread, so I believe the reason you or I can’t find them in the modlong, is you never removed their comments. You should be able to unban them from that thread. :)

I would prefer the USPS bring back basic banking at their branches.

Looks like they trialed doing that a bit.

True, forgot about them! Only issue with Lems (or at least their boots) is their construction doesn’t lend itself super well to resole-ing (though neither do Vivo’s, really), though I have heard of cobblers doing it by grinding down the existing sole and gluing on a replacement.

The Jim Green Barefoot African Ranger is constructed like a traditional boot, so is easily resoled by any cobbler, but I had to send mine back since they weren’t wide enough for me (they seem to be on the more narrow end of ‘barefoot’ style boots).

But for how affordable lems are, they’re a solid choice and have way more cushion than vivos.

A ban or removed comment will always have a direct link in the modlog, as far as I’m aware.

To find it, you should be able to go to the modlog, then click on the ‘Filter by mod’ selection, and search your own username. This should show all of the mod actions you have enacted. From there you should be able to see the comment you removed, which will itself be a clickable link, bringing you directly to the deleted comment on whatever post it was on. From there, you should be able to do the 3 dots thing and unban.

After trying Barefoot style shoes (which usually have much wider than normal toeboxes) I can never go back.

Vivobarefoot shoes are expensive, but pretty high quality and have a great toebox.

Freet are more affordable and often made of recycled material, but some of their designs can be slightly odd looking. They hold up well though, very nice quality from the reviews I’ve seen. They’re made in the UK, I believe.

Splay shoes offer what is essentially wide toebox vans.

There’s tons more though. I’d recommend Anya’s Reviews to narrow down what suits you best, she’s pretty legit in her info from what I’ve seen.

Unbanning is not intuitive.

You have to navigate to the comment or post that you banned them from, click the three little dots next to their comment/post for more actions, and there should be an option to unban

You may have to go to the modlog and click the direct link to their post/comment to find those options if they have no other posts or comments in your community.

Thanks Blaze ^^

Short answer:

It would be the same people. Changing instances is just changing your access point to lemmy. Your ‘local’ tab will change to show only communities that were created on that new instance, but your ‘all’ and ‘home’ tabs will show all the same communities and posts that you see now on lemmy.world, and all the same people will be there.

Long answer explaining how this whole system works in detail:

Lemmy is a federated platform, which just means each server is interconnected with each other.

Imagine if you downloaded lemmy and installed it onto your computer directly, turning your own computer into a server/instance, just like hosting a game server for minecraft. You could send the link for your server to your friends, and they could connect to your computer and create accounts for themselves there, which would let them create communities that all your friends would see show up in their local tab view.

But if one of your friends put a link to a lemmy.world community in the search bar of your lemmy, it would tell your server to reach out to lemmy.world across the internet and create a connection between your server and that lemmy.world community, and to keep thst connection going forever, meaning that any posts or comments that are made to that lemmy.world community will automatically send copies to your server, basically mirroring them, and allowing posts to show up in your friends ‘all’ view, or if they subscribe to that lemmy.world community, those posts will show up in their ‘home’ view as well, along with any other subscriptions they have. But their ‘local’ view will only ever show the communities that they made on your server on your computer.

If your friends comment on those mirrored posts that were sent to your server, your server will send them to the lemmy.world community where it will then distribute out your friends comments to any other server/instance that has users subscribed to that community too, so that those servers can mirror those comments as well, thus making everyone able to communucate with eachother no matter what instance they are logging in from.

So the only major change between instances is their local view.

Sopuli.xyz is a solid general instance, as is discuss.online.

In addition to what Blaze said, bear in mind you can use the same username on a different instance when creating a new account, only the @ part will change.

First, I’d recommend going to your settings page and exporting your profile data, this will let you take your subscriptions and block list with you.

Then head on over to https://join-lemmy.org/instances, and pick an instance that interests you. Personally, I would recommend Sopuli.xyz, since they have good admins, an up-to-date lemmy, and a good sized community.

If you have Anarchist leanings, I’d recommend Lemmy.dbzer0 or slrpnk.net

Perhaps MiniVids?

If he is who the police claim he is, and that really is his manifesto, then I hope he manages to bring a constant and unrelenting focus on the inhumanity of the US healthcare system, as he seems to desire.

As for what I think…

Yesterday I was reading through Means and Ends by Zoe Baker, which explores the history of Anarchist movements. There’s a chapter in there that goes over when Anarchists were all super into the idea of ‘Propaganda of the Deed’ back around the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. They went after everything from Industrialists to Kings, thinking it would get people all riled up and inspired to start a revolution… But the problem was, it didn’t.

In fact, the overall gist I’m getting from it is it was almost entirely counterproductive. It didn’t garner the sympathy of the general public, and worse, it gave ample justification for the authorities to militantly crack down on Anarchist groups and disband or imprison them, forcing them to go underground or to flee to less hostile countries, which weakened the movement overall.

The reaction in this particular instance does seem to be getting people angry about health insurance, but I don’t think humans are much different from how they were back in the 1800’s when similar things did not bring lasting or positive change, and unfortunately I don’t think this event will be any different.

Things I personally look for in an instance:

• An active admin that has a level head and seems like a good person (preferably multiple admins to prevent Bus factor)
• Instance runs a fairly recent version of Lemmy. If they run a very old version, that could be a sign of problems
• Is defederated with troll or drama filled instances
• Having a unique theme or vibe instead of being a general server is a big plus that makes it stand out, but not strictly necessary

FYI, you can now post instances at !newcommunities@lemmy.world :)
