Lives ARE on the line. It was faulty software that caused the Boeing 737 Max to crash twice, killing 346 people. Software runs your car, the trains, rockets, literally everything.

I wonder if you can pay off loans by transferring the stock. Idk, just a thought

You know you can just turn off bots in your profile settings… right? That is an option here.

most users simply do not care. if it works, it works

I think Fedora and Ubuntu are easy recommendations!

it doesn’t work for medium articles in my experience

Yeah no worries, all I’m saying is it’s a silly phishing attempt since it is only emailing admins!

I’ve gotten an email like this before for lemdro.id. I think it’s a generic phishing email since the community links look like email addresses (and actually often are)

you’re welcome to make an account at lemdro.id

It is my opinion that there is only “tension” because you say there is. I do not believe that most people feel that way; it isn’t exactly an active war zone. Nevertheless, I respect your decision as moderator of this community, and I’ll leave you be in the future. Best of luck!

I’m the backend guy at lemdro.id, I started the instance. I don’t moderate the !android@lemdro.id community (or any of them… I purely do infrastructure), but I am quite aware of the drama around recent events involving the two android communities.

The intent behind banning all lemdro.id users from applying to be mods feels quite… retaliatory? I’m not sure there is anyone on lemdro.id who would apply, but depriving them the opportunity simply because they are associated with an instance that hosts a community which had another community merge into it?

It is your community, you can of course do what you want. I just wish we could drop the drama, act like adults, and move on. Tired of the vitriol.

No worries, your experience is totally valid thanks for sharing it. I’ll mention it to the other admin running that account :)

Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I asked around and this is actually ran by one of the other admins on the instance. They generate the responses manually and then paste them as a comment. The account is marked as a bot so that users can disable showing bot accounts in their profile settings.

I know this doesn’t functionally change your point, but Lemdro.id is still growing (over 10k subscribers now…), so hopefully you can get some better answers in the future.

lemdro.id is quite strict regarding bots, I run it! I’m not sure what post they were referring to since I can’t see it in their history
