From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They may not use their mod accounts for posting.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago

Can't hurt to ask

FYI user mentions in Lemmy are done with an @ not /u/, e.g. @[email protected]

Seems fine with anarchy to me

There has been one mod action so far today and three others in the last week.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago

I don't feel like [email protected] has a problem with spam/reposts, at least with the current users. If lemmy got more popular this might change, but as long as the current mods do action unwanted posts, I think we're okay.

Without account-wide karma on lemmy, hopefully we'll avoid the karma farming known from reddit. At least I want to believe others also post what they think this community might interest, without other selfish reasons.

I personally try to only post likns on topics not already discussed previously, and I think I do a good job with it. As someone who didn't post on reddit (besides commenting), I want to encourage people to look whether an interesting article/topic was posted recently and post it if not. I want this community to thrive, which includes avoiding depending on only a few people. Just my 2 cents.

Anarchy doesn't mean the absence of moderation.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Um, doesn't it? Isn't that what anarchy is?

The anarchist library in web is a good source

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, its not. But it is a common misconception because the media is terrible. I recommend reading some books on Anarchy.

Anarchy is when somalian pirates.

Never give power to those who seek it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Big Landscaping finally tracked him down and bushed him

I don't know about the other two mods here but I heard @[email protected] plans to return from hiatus eventually.

I've done most most of the mod actions here in the last year, first as an admin but eventually I was added as a mod in this community too because there was a bug (fixed in 0.19) which prevented admins' mod actions from federating (and there were some egregious posts which kept getting remote reports).

Thanks for the offer of help @[email protected] but I think the other admins and I (who are all longtime Linux users) are doing OK moderating this community. Also I see that yesterday you re-posted something immediately after it was deleted, with a title referencing its deletion 😦

If you see something that should be deleted, please do flag it, and if you're unhappy with mod actions you can always message a mod or ask about it in /c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

They’ll only get notified if you @ notify them in a comment.

@[email protected] should summon the guy to read this...
