  • Or you could just not care so much.

    If you post memes that are likely to offend someone somewhere, then there’s a risk that one of those someones is going to be a mod, and they’re going to delete it. And really, that’s just the way it goes.

    Certainly you might prefer that they have explicit, precise and closely followed rules so you can accurately predict what they’ll do, but there’s really no requirement that they do so - if they want vague rules arbitrarily enforced, that’s their prerogative.

    And really, what are you out if they do delete a post? It’s not like you paid for it or you have some sort of quota you have to meet. You just toss things out into the internet, and some of them float and others sink.






  • No - they’re entirely separate.

    Basically the way it works is that you never really leave the instance you’re on. When you access a community hosted on that instance, you’re of course on that instance. But when you access a community that’s hosted on another instance, you’re actially accessing a mirror of that community that’s hosted on your own instance.

    So for example, from your point of view, coming in through lemmy.world, the two entirely separate communities are android@lemmy.world and android@lemdro.id@lemmy.world. The first one is the lemmy.world community snd the second one is a local mirror of the entirely separate lemdro.id community.

    Hope that makes sense …


  • The old mods have already left - the problem was that they locked the lemmy.world community behind them on the way out.

    I know when this all started, there were some people who volunteered to reopen the community and mod it, and contacted the admin to that end. I assume this announcement is the resolution of that - when the additional week is up, the original lemmy.world community will reopen with the new mods.
