Bot is online again
The intention of requiring a 3rd party to act as a moderator is to avoid mod abuse from the blog author such as deleting comments or banning people for unreasonable reasons. E.g. someone correcting an error in a blog post and then having their comment deleted and banned by the author in retaliation.
Ideally Lemmy would have more granular level of mod authorisation so that we could just remove access to deleting and banning people.
If someone makes a non-relevant post in the community, it would be removed. If it becomes a recurring problem, we can look into automating that process.
The mod tools are unfortunately pretty poor on Lemmy. For adding/removing moderators via the GUI the person must first post/comment in that specific community. You can then via the context menu of that post/comment add someone as a mod.
The alternative is to interact with the Lemmy API directly via a script.
I've added myself as a moderator, although the whole admin team may operate as moderators, similar to !meta@programming.dev.
If you got additional changes you want to make to the community, e.g. add additional rules like make it explicit that only you can post, or add a banner to the community you should do it now before you're removed as a moderator. Otherwise you can always DM me/the admin team if you want to make changes to it.
Edit: As Blaze pointed out, you can use alternate frontends like https://t.programming.dev/ to gain additional GUI mod tools
Just a reminder that we sent you a DM some time ago, but have yet to receive an answer. Happy cake day :)
-The admin team
I didn't mean to imply CD stores sounds files of worse quality, only that if you aren't after the experience vinyl provides, digital files is a more convenient form of media.
If you're going for quality, you'd just buy the flac file though
You asked how it can be done
That logic would apply to alien spaceships too though
Take a look at modern DnD. You can't have evil ~~races~~ species anymore.
https://programming.dev/c/britishtelly@feddit.uk is currently visible and not hidden.
However, as it seems to be a bot community, it should be hidden on our instance, so we will hide it and update https://legal.programming.dev/docs/hidden-communities to reflect that.
