I wonder what's up with all the downvotes. I know blizzard fucked up big-time on almost every front - I haven't played much since OW2 was released - but I always liked OWWC.
MichelleG is an alt of @MichelleG@lemmy.world who is active, she's one of the Lemmy World admins and was added by TheDude on sh.itjust.works to remove spam (or worse) accounts. That's about all her involvement with the instance as well.
The slur filter on lemmy world is very limited. There is an f-word and an n-word. And the reason I added it to the slur-filter was because we had spam accounts posting PAGES full of these words. And even when that stopped we kept those two words in our slur-filter. As the times they would be used "academically" would be far less than their use as an insult.
I've recently been added to the mastodon.world mod team. The amount of spam that gets posted makes it much harder than Lemmy to weed out the bigots. But it's improving. And like on Lemmy.World we request Mastodon.World users to keep reporting..
Because that's exactly what we are working on. Community Management and Engagement Management teams are being formed. Community managers will be checking up on moderation and are about keeping communities healthy. Community Engagement team will be responsible to help provide content, putting community's in the spotlight and more.
Formation of these teams is ongoing, if anyone reads this and is interested contact me or @clueless_stoner@lemmy.world
That thread filled with people who got banned from Lemmy World. You think everyone there is arguing in good faith?
And some of the reactions to the new ToS have been quite aggressive towards the admin team, even though there is nothing there that changed how people can use our site. Be a decent person and you are welcome, that is the document's purpose.
We had reactions telling us "fuck off corporate shills" and "suck my balls" and publicly stating they will be a problem and then it's Shocked Pikachu when they get banned and start threads everywhere.
As you pointed out, people who sign up on Lemmy World have to agree to these terms by typing "I agree" in the sign-up form. We're looking into other options for existing users.
You know you can search for your username and see all your accounts right? Your Lemmy.World one is far from the most active.
Yes most people want to be treated like adults and there is nothing in the ToS that prevents them from doing so. Which of the terms do you have a problem with?
Since it's more focused on Lemmy World communities it would make sense to have some affinity with the instance so a local account would be preferred.
