This is good feedback, and I agree. I try my best to limit moderation to content that needs removing, and simply vote on the rest.

One thing I find is that mods are more likely to remove/nuke a thread when they’re stretched thin or there is a wave of rule breaking content. Bringing on more active mods can help so that each mod can spend more time scrutinizing each post.

The other great thing about the Fediverse is that you can make your own version of a community if you disagree with how one is being run. I’ve joined a few communities with different styles of moderation

What communities do you check that are more quiet now?

I think it’s because it’s just memes and also quite hard moderation and downvotes

Could this be specific to the American election?

I feel like I’ve seen more items in the moderation queue recently. I can’t say I’ve had to act on more items though

I can only speak for myself:

I’m here, still reading and voting, but I haven’t posted/commented as much recently.

Life got a bit busy, should be back to normal in a bit

Well this is duck duck go, I don’t think that is personalized?

Spondulix is 19th-century slang for money or cash, more specifically a reasonable amount of spending money. Spondulicks, spondoolicks, spondulacks, spondulics, and spondoolics are alternative spellings, and spondoolies is a modern variant.

Charles Dickens wasn’t fun, back when we covered it in school

I am curious though, what do you recommend?

Interesting

MEMS oscillators incorporate MEMS resonators, which are microelectromechanical structures that define stable frequencies. MEMS clock generators are MEMS timing devices with multiple outputs for systems that need more than a single reference frequency. MEMS oscillators are a valid alternative to older, more established quartz crystal oscillators, offering better resilience against vibration and mechanical shock, and reliability with respect to temperature variation.

So the helium causes physical interference by leaking into the housing?

While it’s not tech specific

This has come up with a few users, I think it’s a known bug in the current version of Lemmy but I can’t find the GitHub issue right now

It’s actually recommended by a lot of profs now where I am, which is really nice

They overhauled the UI recently and it looks nice and modern too

I found it to be more than I needed. I still have it installed, but use localsend more often

I end up using some blog post when that happens because the forums make no sense

I believe you can also look at the instance modlog and filter by community. Maybe try that?

Was it !politics@lemmy.world ?

It does help set a good precedent. When companies try to do the same thing, further hurting smaller artists, we can point to this case

What is something Linux related that you’ve learned recently?

As a meta question, could this work as an additional (or alternate) recurring discussion question? It felt similar in intent, to encourage people to keep learning / asking questions and chances are that if someone learned something then others will benefit from the information (or correct them)

Which makes me think they won’t do that, at least until they realize their current plan won’t work out in the long run. So far they’ve been going in the opposite direction by locking down everything:

• killing off third party apps
• making it difficult to access on old Reddit or mobile web
• only letting search engines index the site if they pay
• talk of paywalling subreddits

While not unhelpful, stop-drop-and-roll and quicksand don’t come up as often as we thought back then

The link seems to immediately redirect me to https://ca.ugreen.com/ Maybe they configured their region settings in a weird way.

Would you have a screenshot of the product maybe? :)

I know some power bars have USB-C on them, would you need to charge all 6 devices at once or only one at a time?
