  • I think it could work great on a dating profile. It's unique, memorable, and a conversation starter for the apps that require comments when liking

    Maybe not as the first image, but anywhere else. Pair it with a witty caption

  • Good suggestion, thanks!

  • These are great, thank you! I can link them in this post as well as in our weekly threads.

  • Ah great, I need to fix the formatting and schedule them out again.

    edit: I made some changes and I'll schedule out the rest based on feedback. How does this look?

  • I think we can find a way to work that in to the updated rules for the community. I'll copy this into our notes for where we're working on those

  • We might need that in the future, but for now I think we have enough moderators to users to deal with brigading and bad faith arguments when it happens. So far users have been excellent about reporting it to us

    I also don't love doing blanket bans based on participation alone. Sometimes people comment on content to call it out, and without following the thread carefully and being familiar with the topic, it's hard to tell who's arguing for what. That being said, if it's clear that someone is a problem in other communities, I think it makes sense for mods or admins to preemptively ban them.

  • That's fair, can you link some of the posts? You can also DM me, or @admin@lemmy.ca

    There isn't much brigading since it gets dealt with, but it's not impossible

  • With the proxy websites, it's more of an alternative frontend where you still need an account on the platform.

    What might be happening is

    • your device or IP address is flagged from your previous attempts
    • they've connected it to your real name / shadow profile somehow

    So if you really need to use it and there's no alternative, you could do one of

    • make the real account, ideally from a privacy friendly browser, and give the absolute minimum info you can. Name and email, no profile image, privacy settings to max
    • make an account on a new device / wifi network, and have it be believable for the kind of person joining Facebook for the first time. I haven't tried this myself but I've heard it mentioned before

    Whether you made an account or not, you can keep an eye out for alternatives. Over here there are a few alternatives, and one of them (Karrot) has been growing in popularity

    It might enshitify at some point, but it's been nice so far

  • Thanks :)

  • It looks like there are a number of reports on this post. If you could edit a tag into the title, such as [satire], that would probably make everyone happy

    We have some donation options listed here, and we're going to look into adding more options down the road

  • In addition to moderating, I think the biggest help would be to participate in the smaller communities. Regular posts and discussions go a long way

    Just saw the new MapleMusic community, subscribed :)

  • Sorry about that, I'm thinking next time we'll end the nominations much earlier and leave the voting up longer.
