I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, and several other subjects.

    Numeric .xyz domains only cost $1 a year. They’re not great for things like mail because they’re often used by spammers (probably because of the price), but it’s great for cheap signed DNS hostnames.

    I point it to the server on my local network and use Wireguard to connect myself.

    Yes, moderation tools in general aren’t that great on here, nor is there a lot of interest from the developers to improve them.

    Most moderators rely on bots and scripts. I myself have written bash scripts to fetch all reports from instances using alts because reports don’t federate.

    No we do not. Why you might ask? Because the Lemmy’s developers don’t want to allow it because it’s “a slippery slope”

    dessalines:

    We’ve discussed this in another issue at length, but I’m personally against any moderator / admin ability to “modify” other people’s content in any way other than removing / restoring it.

    Its a vector for abuse, and a slippery slope that eventually leads to mods and admins being able to edit other people’s posts and comments.

    I think this is ridiculous and that an ability to mark a comment as NSFW is not harming “user’s integrity” but what can you do?
