as people can easily switch to another community if they don’t like the mods’ decisions in one community.
I know it's true in theory, but in practice if the mod is really power tripping (so banning everyone mentioning the alternative), it's quite hard to achieve. It took me months to get people to the alternative community, and even now people still post there from time to time.
Monarchs are still popular enough to keep their symbolic role, otherwise they would have been disposed.
The topic regularly comes up in the UK, Belgium, Spain, Denmark etc. The usual consensus in those countries is that the monarchy brings some stability between the governments. Also, when you look at the French and the lifetime salaries and benefits they pay their former presidents, republics are not automatically that much cheaper.
Unfortunately, I don’t think there is any way for me to hide my admin status, at least in the current Lemmy version.
You could use an alt to comment, and another account to admin/mod. Your current account shows with the M mod, and I'm not on your instance.
I personally mod using alts, to limit the reach of potential drama should I have controversial takes, or heated discussions with other users.
As you probably noticed, one of the element that made the drama blow up was you making derogatory comments using your admin account. Would this has been on a normal account, the impact would probably have been much lower.
Lemm.ee and Lemmy.zip usually get praised on their invisible admins. You see them post the updates about the servers from time to time, but that's it.
It’s called corruption when it happens elsewhere but as we know Europeans are too pure and righteous to engage in corruption (at home), they only do it abroad when lobbying for contracts illegally.
The one thing the European Union still hasn't do is elect a leader similar to Trump (especially a convicted felon). As stated above, the European Parliament isn't dominated by the far-right, and only 2 countries are currently governed by full far-right coalitions.
Reduce the influence of LW on the whole platform. Quite relevant due to their last announcement (which they just edited 20 minutes ago, seems like they want to rephrase it)
As someone else said
This is like the third time LW tried to be front-and-center in deciding how conversations should happen on Lemmy. You are the most popular Lemmy instance and most content is on your instance. This isn’t an experimental safe space instance to dictate how social media should work. Please understand that any weirdly aggressive stances you take affects everyone.
I think that points of view that run to the current scientific understanding should not be removed provided that the quantity is limited, it’s respectful and it’s not-harmful.
Sorry to ask for clarification here, but would that mean that flat hearters could ask people why they think Earth is a globe on !asklemmy@lemmy.world ?
