So it seems like this community will one of the ones where all the other shit_____say communities get merged into. In preparation for that and the incoming rise in traffic, we should have a few more mods here to make sure things run smoothly and keep reactionaries out (ironic). Anyone interested? Comment below. Looking specifically for users with reasonably active accounts and a reasonably long history of posting Marxist/ML content, either on Lemmygrad or on another instance.
Edit: nevermind, plans changed. Apply to ShitReactionariesSay instead.
Shitfascistssay will probably get archived too because it has enough posts.
Deleting a community btw doesn’t really delete it (it would break federation), it just makes it inaccessible unless you have a direct link to a post there. For the smaller communities, mods were able to save the links themselves cause there were like 10-20 posts, but for things like SLS with its 1.5k posts or Shit fascists say with its ~400 posts, that’s definitely more difficult
Problem with SFS is that anarcho-bol is not always active and doesn’t seem to have seen the news about the merger 😬. I’ll probably be able to name a second mod to that community who can then put it in mod only
Also mod only only prevents people from posting but not from commenting. Lemmy’s moderation tools are not super evolved just yet, but at least we’re able to do this merger and it’s coming along nicely.
For now technically new communities cannot be created (it’s a rule already in the sidebar), but existing communities will remain up until this Saturday, as announced in !lemmygrad_court@lemmygrad.ml.
Ok, thank you.
