The protests get even more creative. PoliticalHumor mods have set it so that if you subscribe to the community you can now do moderator actions through comments.
No more "Landed Gentry" here, just a total shitshow of deleted comments and lack of cohesive moderation.
@dingus this is my favorite protest so far and I love how creative subreddit mods are getting - one last salting of the earth before they quit the site for good!
I especially love that this is going to give all other subreddits that are still in protest the idea of doing the same thing, or build on the idea. genius.
This is a great protest technique that I think everyone can get behind because it's fun. It might actually increase engagement in the short term as everyone wants to mess around with it, but in the long term if this stays active it hurts the subs actual usability.
@Skray@dingus@tensquiggles It's both really funny and entirely ruining the user experience - makes Reddit think the protest failed short term While making it more powerful in the long run
EDIT: Huh, I'm subscribed to a few kbin.social magazines already, but I'm struggling to get lemmy.ml to see the PoliticalHumor magazine on kbin.social. When I finally get my Lemmy instance to see it, I'll subscribe.
You need to search for the full url; e.g. search for https://kbin.social/m/PoliticalHumor in the Lemmy search bar up top.
I dislike this since it's "wrong". Everywhere else (Kbin, Mastodon, etc.) would accept a search for @PoliticalHumor@kbin.social instead. Lemmy's just different in a weird way.
I do wish it worked a little better as well, but I can't complain too much. I think it's more of an issue of waiting on the magazine to be federated out, since it was only made today.
That only works if someone on your instance has already subscribed - otherwise you get a 404.
I've taken magazines I've made here and manually subscribed to them on Lemmy instances a couple times now just to get them over there. It doesn't work unless someone searches the URL while logged in to their account (if you aren't logged in nothing happens).
https://feddit.de/c/PoliticalHumor@kbin.social should be the relative-path-link from your instance. You can also search for it in your communities tab with “!PoliticalHumor” as your search string (minus quotation marks).
It’s a relatively new community and my instance can’t see it yet because it hasn’t been federated out to other instances yet. So it might take a few more hours, or a day or two, before it shows up in your search or the link doesn’t return a 404 community not found error.
Anyone remember Conan's final week at NBC? After Leno pulled a corporate coup d'etat to return as host of The Tonight Show.
The comedy gods were truly with Conan during that strange, intense and cathartic week of late night television.
Not exactly what happened they made a bot that will take a limited set of commands but you not actually a mod. It's more of a joke (obviously). All you can really do is lock and unlock and remove comments for people under a certain score
I am itching so much for the perfect episode of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight commemorating the most absurd but effective protest in histor, sounding off the whole mess of a situation and poking some more at spez. It'll be a feast.
God the timing is awful with this and the writer strike going on. I really hope they come to an agreement, first and foremost so the writers get paid properly and the other things they've asked for but I can't lie and say I don't want a new episode of Last Week Tonight covering all the reddit drama. I just really hope the strike doesn't last so long that it's not news enough to put on the show.
