I asked this as a comment on my previous post, but I still have some questions. 1: If ML stands for Mali and they’re not from Mali, then why would they represent a foreign country? 2: Since it’s not Mali, what does the ML stand for? If it’s a pair of letters, it represents a country or stands for two words. Machine...

when you go to prison and pay the price that society says your supposed to pay by serving your sentence, you get released. you’re done. How is it just that you have your right to vote permanently stripped from you?
if you were convicted of a violent crime and were proven not to be able to be trusted with a firearm, I can understand not being able to ever own a gun again, and a felony record already makes it next to impossible to find a decent job or decent housing. but to never vote again? that’s just petty and vindictive, not just. These people, whatever their crime, hav paid their debt to society.
I banned a subscriber from one of my communities today for repeatedly breaking the rules. I also blocked them because I find them aggressive and argumentative and I’m not here for that personally. But what happens when their ban from the community ends and they decide to post in the community again? Will I still see their...
That’s actually a really good question. I can’t answer for certain, but, sine moderation on lemmy isn’t particularly sophisticated yet, I think it’s safe to assume that you’re not going to be able to see them, even as mod, if you have them blocked personally.
if that’s the case (most likely), your most likely tow choices are to either permaban them from your community or to live with leaving the user un-blocked for moderation purposes.
one third option would be to mod your community with an alt account or appoint some other user to help out…
I just looked at the mod log— ew… I can see what you’re dealing with there. I suggest you just permaban them, as I doubt they’re going to change their behavior. also, keep an eye out for similar comments/commenting styles that might be indicative of alts (alt accounts).
btw, as mod, you can just ban a user right from their comments— you don’t need to report them yourself!
also, for more advice/help, you can consult the Lemmy Moderation Support room on the Lemmy Space on Matrix (link in the sidebar!)

In musical terms, a rhapsody is a single movement musical piece, characterized by a free-flowing structure where moods and tones can vary considerably, flowing in and out of each one. It is derived from the Greek rhapsōidia, in turn derived from rhaptein (to stitch) and ōidē (song/ode): literally, a stitched together song -...

someone watched The Magicians and said, “Hold my Romulan ale”
soo… for anyone wondering, the music is great. unlike other shows with musical episodes, the music is all original and written/performed of the episode (although I didn’t see Lt. Cmdr. Auto-tune listed in the credits…). It’s plot appropriate, and not shoehorned-in or overdone. There’s a great tone balance, and it comes off like a great American stage musical. I had serious doubts regarding whether they could pull it off… but they did. It was cute, clever, and fun.
I’m a trekkie of the old guard who abso-fucking-loutley 🔥HATES🔥 DSC for shitting down the throat of canon (and just being terrible), but, but I’ve been giving SNW a fair shot. S1 was okay, but S2 has been more promising— HOWEVER, these last few episodes have been very Star Trek, and in new, innovative ways that are refreshing and, dare I say… fun? But, also, serious when they SHOULD BE.
Season 2 of Strange New Worlds is just great, and I guess someone at Paramount is finally listening to all of the screaming from Trek fans about the fire hose of diarrhea that’s been blasting at us so far, and decided to put out some quality content at long last. THANK GOODNESS, because this? This is awesome!
so you’ve deleted a comment because you personally disagree, and wrapped that action in an excuse which doesn’t pass muster that’s invisible so it’s past scrutiny.
how convenient for you
but you deleted this comment because you’re mad I criticized DSC, and you know it. and that’s bullshit.
This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they’d like to @nutomic and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
I’m really not experiencing that— because there isn’t The Algorithm feeding you Content™, lemmy is more reliant on you subscribing to specific communities and for them to be active. Personally, I’m subscribed to a lot of communities, but, likewise, I get a lot of active content. Im able to, in a satisfactory way, replicate the experience that I had on reddit— minus 99.9% of the toxicity and hostility, of course.
You may simply find that it’s a mater of fine-tuning your experience here, although the platform itself is still improving. I remember Reddit in its early days, and it, too, took time to improve.
