In a browser, visit a Lemmy instance's main page. The admins are listed in the sidebar. Note their usernames.
Still in a browser, go to your home instance and login. Hit the search magnifying glass in the top right corner, and do a user search for whichever admin you want to message. You may have to type in their whole ID in the form @exampleuser@instancename. When their name comes up in the search results, click on it and you should see a "Send Message" button as part of their profile.
The womens category should be reserved for cis women, and the mens category should be open to all. I know that won't please everyone, but it's better than outright banning a whole category of people.
That's me! Unfortunately, I don't have any clever solutions to active spamming other than responsive moderation, and better mod tools whenever they become available.
I was notifying instance admins of suspicious user totals that looked like swarms of auto-created bot accounts. Last time I checked, half a dozen admins that I contacted have deleted about 250,000 suspicious dormant accounts. It's not a solution to the problem, but it's something.
"Cheaper and faster" are relative. Building a new nuclear reactor in the US is close to impossible right now. Assuming you can get through the permitting process, construction will take over a decade and cost tens of billions of dollars. See the expansion of the Vogtle power plant in Georgia for example. The process does need to be cheaper and faster if nuclear power has any future here.
It's a way to make a self-closing gate that uses gravity rather than a spring. Those two pivot points are each offset horizontally from the upper hinge.
How do I contact an instance’s sysadmins?
I have an operational question, any help appreciated.
