@Striker@lemmy.world this is not your fault. You stepped up when we asked you to and actively reached out for help getting the community moderated. But even with extra moderators this can not be stopped. Lemmy needs better moderation tools.

This is a volunteer platform, and as such no one is paid. Applicants may include their availability info and be considered accordingly.

This was a misunderstanding from one of the team members. It has since been discussed and will not happen again. Lemmy.World and this announcement community is our primary platform,

Thank you for the kindness!

A tolerable level we can handle by moderation. And when even the admins join in it becomes clear there is a big incompatibility and cultural difference.

But you probably meant something else, right?

Most of their communities were blocked since months, that's why you didn't see much of them.

Doesn't matter if they are hosted here or not. The way federation works is that threads on different instances are cached locally.

We have NO issues with the people at db0 - we are just looking out for ourselves in a 'better safe than sorry' fashion while we find out more. As mentioned in the OP we would like to unblock as soon as we know we can not get in any legal trouble.

You need to hover over the status bar to see if there is any down time for that day. We can enable it to log incidents every time there is a burp, but we are still tuning alerts as we only have it create a incident when we ACK it in PagerDuty. You can always check the dashboard for up to the minute stats, as well as https://lemmy-status.org/endpoints/_lemmy-world We'll add this info to make things clearer <3

EDIT: Added more info to our status page, thanks for the feedback Machefi!

EDIT2: Also the missing data is due to us removing and adding more specific monitors for the different infra services.

We are well aware of what's going on with kbin and the development team. That's why we don't defederate because we have hope that they will fix things soon.

No, even when the option comes for users to block whole instances we will still defederate with instances we do not want to moderate the content from. But we also always reserve the right to re-federate with any instance if the concerns are resolved.

And as per https://lemmy.world/legal : We are not a free speech zone. This Code of Conduct lays out the expected standards of conduct and behavior. Users may not say or post anything that violates these rules, and all participants are required to follow this code. If you disagree with this code, you are welcome to keep looking for other Lemmy instances. Here’s a list of all public instances.

I heard it's like Discord

For now ;) We will remove them should they become a problem.

The original one from @YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world himself! Adding that one right now

It's more a treshold than a deadline. Should it become too much for our team to deal with we'll consider our options again.

If you go to lemmygrad.ml and you don't see anything wrong then maybe you should stay there.

What is your favorite Alternative UI? Are you using it full-time or still switch back to the default one? We want to know!

I love you too ;)

fixed, thanks

Folks that would be brought in would be part of the admin staff and have access to quite a lot. You're on target with that for sure!

The way federation works, discussions on other instances are cached locally.

Thanks for understanding, we're just trying to be careful 😟

Most of their communities were already blocked, for months.

the information was updated.

We're waiting for the worst bugs to be fixed. I'm not sure if the federation issue was fixed in 19.2 If it runs OK on other instances for a while we'll upgrade.

No one is useless 💗

Well, we cannot pay folks, but we can offer work references, some neat tech, and to be part of a team that's trying to make a difference online. (Yes, I get the /s 🙄)

I mean, as long as you don't put fish in the break room microwave, we're cool...

Thanks, we are just trying to be careful.

I like to think it is someone who missed the upvote button and accidentally downvoted.

Awesome!

Thanks for the feedback, we only ask for a CV to help the process, but all of us on the admin team are on a first name basis.

We've all know each other quite well <3

We're all just a bunch of nerds, spending our free time, trying to build something neato.

You were temporary banned from the announcements community, not from the instance. Also, all your bans have expired.

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&amp;userId=1589367

Know that when I said "If you disagree with this code, you are welcome to keep looking for other Lemmy instances" I was directly quoting the CoC.

If you want an overview of the instances we defederated with, and why, we keep the list updated here: https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

Update: we opened registrations again but temporary email addresses will still be banned.

Sure. But we're a group of volunteers and we would not like to find out the hard way what is possible and what not. We would think meta discussions about piracy should be allowed as long as there is no linking to actual illegal content.
But is pointing to locations with illegal content legal or not? And having members/admins worldwide it makes it even harder to be sure.

We don't want to find out the hard way and this is a better safe than sorry measure. Again we personally have nothing against the people on these communities or against the communities itself.
