Most of the time I just use the commandline stuff (cd ls mv rm etc.) but I have vifm installed if I really want one

No, no, I know that spell, I’ve seen it so often before, you won’t get me with that one.

I’ve been on mastodon for years so I knew :p

They already did that with Alien blue, and you see how that went…

Nothing really, it’s just a totally normal day here in Europe.

I was a mod, deleted my 14 year old account after having rewritten all my comments and posts

I’m on linux.pizza I’m a linux guy, and the server is administrated by a swedish guy, makes it easier to communicate with the admin. He also has been really great when I’ve been interacting with him :)

Yup I’m gone too, deleted my main account a couple of weeks ago, and my secondary I nuked yesterday.

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of the bots, I’d rather spend my time discussing things here are interested in, rather than something that nobody here really felt like adding.

It’s wild, and sync was an awesome piece of software that I’ve been using over a decade, and I never had a problem with it, that’s not often I can say about something. The reddit app has always been pure garbage.

Sure, I agree with you :) I just wanted to clear up what I saw as a misunderstanding, not argue against your point :)

I hope the threadiverse will end up being as good an experience as mastodon, it really is a more healthy version of social media to me at least :)

What does scatter really mean in the threadiverse? You and me sit in different bars, and can communicate and see the same communities, so it doesn’t really matter if we are “scattered” or all on the same instance, since we still see and can communicate on the same places.

I think what they mean by /c/ federation is combining the communities, so that c/technology would combine lemmy.world/c/technology and kbin.social/m/technology and lemmy.ml/c/technology, but I’m not 100% sure.

I’ve been using smart-launcher for years now, and it’s what I’m used to, gestures and a nice app menu that automtically categorises applications is nice.

Sync is developed by one guy, so I don’t really thing that’s something he would be able to support.

Yeah, I’m so excited for sync for reddit, I’ve used sync for close to a decade now, and how it works just is what I expect from an app :p So it will be great to have it for lemmy, it will probably be what gets me from kbin over to lemmy as well.

The thing is I really enjoyed the community that I modded, and still do, so I wanted to make it the best place it could be, I didn’t have the skills either to do it in the beginning, started out just helping out the main moderator of our community, then after a couple of years they just disappeared, and I was driving myself rather insane for a year before I started fighting with the admins for 3-4 weeks to get the rights to get more moderators to join me, since I didn’t have the right to before that, only the main mod had those rights.

I invited some people that I trusted from the community, and it at least made the work more tolerateable, having it spread out between 3 people in different timezones, and keep in mind we were a really small niche sub (~8k members) I don’t even want to know how much worse it is for people moderating the gigantic ones, more people usually brings a lot more problems.

It became more or less a routine, just checking in, seeing if there was any spats to break up, people who were being dicks or spamming us with their books etc without interacting with the community, you get into this groove where you just get used to it. The most annoying thing was the few times where we gave people temporary bans and they started being aggressive about it in the mod chat, but since we were a really nice small community it was all worth it.

Come this whole thing, they take away the tools I used to deal with my routine, which would force me to be on the PC a lot more to deal with the community, then the blackout, we had a vote, and people were mostly for it, we did it, and people were decently for having done it, but nothing more when we were done. I don’t know why mods have a bad rep, might be a bigger sub problem like so often, I don’t know, we at least tried to do as much as possible just to keep our little community being friendly, accepting of beginners and not getting spammed with extremely repetetive content.

With this whole thing, I tried being a part after the blackout as well, but I keep seeing people just being really vitriolic, the place doesn’t seem the same anymore, the whole keeping the community happy thing gets to tiring when you know the site does it’s best to make it harder to deal with. I tried contacting admins again, but got some argueably toxic answers from the german admin, which is the only one I was getting a hold of. And I can’t justify doing free work for a company that really doesn’t appreciate it at all.

In the end I hope I at least left the community in a better shape that I entered it, I don’t know if I did, but I hope so. At least this way I can stay true to myself and not being a spineless person not ready to give up on things, not because I think I would be the only one doing the work, but because I was already doing it and kind of knew what I was doing, and how our community ticked.

Yeah, that was it for me, I deleted my old 10+ year old user, who was a moderator, I might come back with a smaller account, but rewrote and deleted all my old stuff, the thing is there is really hard to find something for some of my really niche interests :/
