  • It’s a sad day when something like this happens. Unfortunately with how the Lemmy’s All works it’s possible a huge amount of the initial downvotes are regular people not wanting to see the content, as downvotes are federated. This constituted as part of my original choices for disabling it when I started my instance. We had the gripes people are displaying here and it probably constituted to a lack in Reddthat’s growth potential.

    There needs to be work done not only for flairs, which I like the idea of, but for a curated All/Frontpage (per-instance). Too many times I see people unable to find communities or new content that piques their interest. Having to “wade through” All-New to find content might attribute to the current detriment as instead of a general niche they might want to enjoy they are bombarded with things they dislike.

    Tough problem to solve in a federated space. Hell… can’t even get every instance to update to 0.18.5 so federated moderation actions happen. If we can’t all decide on a common Lemmy instance version, I doubt we can ask our users to be subjected to not using the tools at their disposal. (up/down/report).

    Keep on Keeping on!

  • Hello,

    Please see the rules of reddthat here: https://reddthat.com/post/9701

    No racism or other discrimination No endorsement of hate speech

    As such you have broken our rules, specifically being racist. You have remained civil and I thank-you for that. Normally I would have banned the account in question by now, but have decided not too unless others end up reporting your comments, but I see that as unlikely as this has become a worthwhile discussion.

    What has your post in the community abandonedporn got to do with this? Nothing. This is an offtopic conversation which you started off with zero context. And text with zero context can be read with a myriad of inflections even when the best intentions are meant.
    If you started off saying you knew the area, or lived down the road, that may have some credibility and then tied into your current feelings about the issue then we wouldn’t have had a problem if you said it in a way that acknowledged it was your own opinion. Like how you have now is amazing, I wish all comments were as thoughtful as this. But you chose to originally post in a community that has next to nothing to do with Russia to voice your opinion on your dislike.

    Hatred towards any country is not welcome on Reddthat. I understand your feelings and they are worth while.

    I look forward to seeing you in a different community, maybe a political community to have a discussion.

    Thankyou

    Reddthat Admin Team



  • Oh that’s super nice!
    That’s why I asked if they were hiring. Sounds like a nice place to work. I work at a job that doesn’t allow me to have non-work time during my allotted on-work time. ie 9-5.

    Obviously I agree that this is definitely on the riskier side of the line, whether it crosses into NSFW territory is unfortunately dependant on everyone’s own definition.

    See the other comment(s) from Red that go into detail regarding what is going to be done regarding the future of the community and the riskiness.

    Removing the post at this time would not be for the benefit of the community when we can have active discussions on what we want the community to become.
    Unfortunately I have a feeling that some of the commenters here are from All and are not active subscribers. So they may not be used to seeing content like this. They also may not understand the difference between instances and the nuances with federation.

    Edit: This is the comment from Red regarding what we are going to do: https://reddthat.com/comment/2250572
