It is my opinion that there is only "tension" because you say there is. I do not believe that most people feel that way; it isn't exactly an active war zone. Nevertheless, I respect your decision as moderator of this community, and I'll leave you be in the future. Best of luck!
I'm the backend guy at lemdro.id, I started the instance. I don't moderate the !android@lemdro.id community (or any of them... I purely do infrastructure), but I am quite aware of the drama around recent events involving the two android communities.
The intent behind banning all lemdro.id users from applying to be mods feels quite... retaliatory? I'm not sure there is anyone on lemdro.id who would apply, but depriving them the opportunity simply because they are associated with an instance that hosts a community which had another community merge into it?
It is your community, you can of course do what you want. I just wish we could drop the drama, act like adults, and move on. Tired of the vitriol.
just for clarification, they are Bluetooth trackers. They don't have a GPS radio within them and have no intrinsic knowledge of where they are located. Essentially just a Bluetooth beacon
Docker creates a virtual Linux environment basically, they mean they would like the user in that environment to not be root. I can submit a MR later today to do so (I authored the automatic docker builds MR)
Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I asked around and this is actually ran by one of the other admins on the instance. They generate the responses manually and then paste them as a comment. The account is marked as a bot so that users can disable showing bot accounts in their profile settings.
I know this doesn't functionally change your point, but Lemdro.id is still growing (over 10k subscribers now...), so hopefully you can get some better answers in the future.
fair enough, my bad
