If they can do what they claim then it's pretty damn cool. But from what it sounds like it's got a lot of growing to do before it gets to what they claim.
You won't hear me defending the admin here that's for sure. And I agree with you on everything in your comment here.
It ain't perfect here for a number of reasons but it's a pretty chill place at least in the communities I participate in on this instance. Though I have had some weird to shitty experiences with mods on this instance on more than a few occasions.
I've literally had some of my comments (on this account and others) removed while other people agreeing with me don't have theirs removed.
Or moderators banning people for stuff that's not even against their rules but they just put it as the reason anyways.
Not to mention the amount of misinformation that flies around that goes completely unchecked.
I'm currently chilling on blahaj because the moderation is pretty good (usually) but having downvotes disabled really hampers things at times as some pretty terrible shit sometimes gets a lot of upvotes but you never see the downvotes.
Unfortunately I've yet to find an app that makes getting to the modlog easy so the only option I've found is to open my phone's web browser and check it that way.
At least Lemmy works better on mobile than a lot of other sites
One thing I don't like over here on Lemmy is that when a mod action happens against you you don't get a notification of any kind. So unless you check the mod logs you'll typically never know something happened.
NGL I'm half tempted to make a bot that crawls the mod logs to tell people when something happens to their posts or comments.
Of to a good start so far, yesterday I met up with my buddies for a DND night for the first time in 2 months and this morning it was raining for the first time in weeks.
Last week ended on a sour note of having an entire day ruined by a migraine but I still managed to get some stuff done before it went into full swing on Saturday so that's not too bad.
This week has potential for sure and I'm really hoping it goes smoothly, even though half of my department at work (my department only has 2 people lol) is on vacation.
Edit: Looks like my good start hit its first speed bump, forgot my work security pass at home. It's too long of a drive to grab it and come back so it looks like I'm going to be a thorn in the side of management all day today.
Likely a slightly warped CD case with a grippy bit in the middle that's undersized.
Which means the discs can rotate and then collide with the case. But key to the scratches is the undersized grippy thing, a good case won't let your discs spin.
Cheap cases have been doing that since I was a kid and I burned my first CDs back in the day. Nothing quite like being the cool kid with a CD burner back in the day.
I'm just going with a Ryzen 1600x system because I have one on hand
My current system has a pair of 12 thread Xeon CPUs and I really don't need them, plus I'm wanting to go with normal consumer hardware for the new system for repairability reasons
