So if r/gunners were to maliciously comply with the Reddit overlords as a protest, would the subreddit vote to post sexy Wenger pics instead of John Oliver? π€

@EFG should consider this tbh
Yeah but I doubt our brethren would vote for it, "iT dOesN't CoNceRn me AnD I nEeD the kArMa fRoM mY cLickbAit transfer post! This is stupid!"
I actually think it's pretty cool the other subs are doing it, spez isn't going to do anything but at least it floods Reddit with stuff they can't actually sell to data miners.
Lemmy turned out to be a pretty good alternative. Reddit is only going to keep getting worse.
I am actually enjoying the lack of a karma system on Lemmy and the absence of data miners too.
Yea, I think this whole fiasco has shown which mods have the balls to stand up for what they believe in and which ones crumble because they want to hold on to their little Internet power. I think Moist Critical said it best in his YouTube video - some mods folded so quickly as soon as it seemed like their subs might get taken away.
@Astrealix @MHPengwingz @EFG alternatively, sexy pictures of Hector Bellerin. There would be more variety if nothing else πβ
(edit) copying EFG
Oooh that's a good one.
Side note but how do you actually ping people on this lol
@Astrealix I believe itβs their username followed by @ and then the instance they are on. Not going to actually tag them but I think it would be @ EFG @ Lemmy.world
Yea, it's a bit janky on the apps but in desktop it auto fills it for you hence why you see inconsistent tagging.

I'm an unpaid forum janitor? Nice!
mood lol
only just logged in and saw the thread from yesterday, so sweet of @I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world <3
Xoxo bae
xoxo
Lucky!
Congrats you guys! I know the community is in good hands β€οΈ
You're deffo a shout for it, a day one user if I remember correctly.
Also I remember you were saying something about developing bots once you've got the time!
Thanks! I've never made a forum bot before so I've been reading a lot of documentation. Lemmy has some good resources. Don't want to mess up my first one π
I just like this community a lot and want to help whichever way I can :)
Yea, 100% Roxamir I'd get you on board if you can figure out the bots, etc.
As I mentioned yesterday, right now I've just given out the roles based on engagement needs rather than actual moderation. So decided to give it to the folks driving the daily threads.
Next set of mods will definitely be around the more technical moderation tools like bots, etc.
We're fortunate enough that right now the mods don't actually need to do moderation - partly because we're a small community, partly because we're not assholes.
Eventually when we need a full mod team, we'll probably involve the community in deciding who the mods are but I think we're still a way from there.
Happy Juneteenth to anyone that celebrates, by the way
Changed the sidebar, let me know if y'all have suggestions for what to put there! Might put the Bergkamp quote back but I wanted it to be distinct from r/gunners
If you guys ever need another mod I'd be interested.
Just saying π
At this rate we're gonna have more mods than users mate I think we'll be fine, cheers tho
Well I didn't mean this instant π
Just in the future as the community gets bigger.
Damn, Ruben Neves sold out and about to join a Saudi team. Depressing shit.
Joselu moving to Real Madrid while Benzema, current Ballon D'Or holder moves to Saudi Arabia. Football is about to be even more dominated by money lol.
True, although I wouldn't complain if the Saudis feel like splashing Β£100m on Partey
As someone from Hong Kong, where our best clubs are finally doing something in Asian competition, fuck that lol. The most famous person we've ever had play for us was a washed up Diego ForlΓ‘n.
Oh my god that seemed like a lifetime ago
I remember seeing him on TV doing ads, it was wild. And now Kitchee are winning matches in the AFC CL while my club (South China) are languishing in the second tier cuz of money...
Aren't there like match fixing scandals every 2-3 years as well? I occasionally see the news reports if I happen to catch HK news.
There was one recently yeah lol. I honestly don't pay attention to the local leagues as much as I would like cuz I'm an overseas student now and cuz have you tried? It's not on Fotmob or Onefootball or any app, and my club isn't even on pay-per-view TV lol cuz first division league.
Isn't it usually streamed on the team's YouTube? It's also occasionally on RTHK TV if I'm not mistaken....which I get on "the box". Not sure if "the box" is a thing that's available in your area.
tbh you're making me tempted to email them and ask lol, I might just go and do that real quick...
Apparently also Edouard Mendy. Fucking hell everyone chasing the bag.
I can't blame em, given the money being offered.
