Oh, there was nothing wrong with the gist of what they said, it was the personal commentary at the beginning that was unneeded. If they had skipped that then their point would have been likely considered more thoughtfully by those reading.

…Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh… What have I done with my life?

No, ignorant takes like yours are the real problem.

Is this Reddit?! (Looks up at title bar in confusion.)

No…well, this is odd.

As always, the limits of tolerance are met when it comes to suggesting we tolerate intolerance. The boundary must be set there.

I just watched 12 Angry Men (1957) for the first time and it is incredible.

Absolutely. It’s a timeless masterpiece in my opinion.

In some cases, communities are set to be moderator-only, which is to say that only moderators are allowed to post in them.

Sure. That would definitely be an exception to what I said.

As well, we want to avoid community squatting by power moderators (think 20+ communities with no interactions) who create communities so they can keep controlling them later on when people suddenly start using them.

Absolutely. But, again, that doesn’t seem to be applicable to my point.

This was the bane of Reddit’s existence, and something we don’t want to have propagate over to Lemmy.ca under any circumstances.

Yup, absolutely. I fully agree with you there. My concerns with the blanket application of the above suggested approach remain, however. Your concerns, which I agree with, are not really emergent from them, and don’t appear to address them.

Regardless, this is why we have the 5 day window for moderators to respond to let us know what’s going on, so we can get that context.

Yup, that might mitigate any issues. I have no issue with that.

Ultimately we don’t want to reassign a community unless it’s obvious that the user moderating it has no interest in actively moderating, or is holding onto it in bad faith.

Okay, fair enough. My concern, of course, was that an inactive community is going to have moderators removed from it for the ‘crime’ of happening to be an inactive community, or else the necessity of having a moderator post random whatever once a month to avoid this issue, which seems a bit…silly.

Thanks for contributing. These are perspectives we want to keep in mind.

You’re welcome. I honestly do get what your concerns are. I share them. Believe me. But we must be careful about the application of procedures to solve that issue.

I think the one month with no moderator activity should only be applicable if there is other user activity in the community during that month. For small, specific, and (so far) very quiet communities I think a month of no moderator activity if there’s no activity at all yet doesn’t make much sense.

…and now it’s there with the new update! Nice!

Thanks, I’ll take a look and give this a try.

Edit: Looks like the subscribed communities dropdown has been added to the latest version of mlmym so perhaps I won’t need it on the old.lemmy.* sites

Holy crap that was fast!!! And it now has the ‘My communities’ dropdown, which makes it much better! Thanks!!

The latest version of mlmym includes the subscribed commuunities dropdown in the top bar. Can mlmym be updated to this version, please? The lack of access to one’s subscribed communities makes it borderline unusable atm despite how much I like it.

Awesome, thanks for the update and new features!

Would it be possible to make the script work with old.lemmy.ca (and old.lemmy.world, etc) as well? The lack of access to subscribed communities on the old.* frontend, despite its advantages, makes it borderline unusable.

So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account.

Why are you needing to do that? You only need one account on one instance and you can subscribe to all the things you want on every instance (assuming that it hasn’t been defederated for some reason). That way you’ll only have one account with one list of subscribed communities instead of differing ones on different accounts.

Now I just need a subscribed community dropdown list like I had with RES

That’s really awesome. The old.lemmy.ca looks surprisingly like old that-other-place.

Adding lots of missing bicycle paths, lanes, and designated routes in my area as well as all of the missing buildings. And fixing all kinds of little mistakes.

A Russian commander with an apparent habit of posting his running routes on social media has been shot dead while jogging in the city of Krasnodar.

Excellent OpSec, those Russians have!

Oh, those sticky keyboards…
