        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.

    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]
