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? πŸ€”

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

@EFG should consider this tbh

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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 πŸ˜†β€‹

(edit) copying EFG

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oooh that's a good one.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Side note but how do you actually ping people on this lol

[–] poorlydrawnarsenal@arsenalfc.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

@Astrealix I believe it’s 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

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Might as well tag them then lol @EFG@EFG@lemmy.world Sexy wenger pics for the win

[–] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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!

only just logged in and saw the thread from yesterday, so sweet of @I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world <3

[–] Roxamir@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lucky!

Congrats you guys! I know the community is in good hands ❀️

[–] little_niggle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

[–] Roxamir@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 πŸ˜…

I just like this community a lot and want to help whichever way I can :)

[–] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Happy Juneteenth to anyone that celebrates, by the way

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Roxamir@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you guys ever need another mod I'd be interested.

Just saying πŸ˜…

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At this rate we're gonna have more mods than users mate I think we'll be fine, cheers tho

[–] Roxamir@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well I didn't mean this instant πŸ˜‚

Just in the future as the community gets bigger.

[–] afcfrimpong@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Damn, Ruben Neves sold out and about to join a Saudi team. Depressing shit.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Matt_Sams_314@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, although I wouldn't complain if the Saudis feel like splashing Β£100m on Partey

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh my god that seemed like a lifetime ago

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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...

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

tbh you're making me tempted to email them and ask lol, I might just go and do that real quick...

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Apparently also Edouard Mendy. Fucking hell everyone chasing the bag.

[–] Gingerrific@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can't blame em, given the money being offered.
