I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)
I’d love to have tags on apps. So many apps have a simple minimalistic name on the app, which is impossible to remember. I make do by renaming the app with terms I might search by.
ex. “Authenticator Microsoft”, or “Vancollect City Garbage Trash Recycling”
So it looks like this study was questionable for a number of reasons

There may be better studies that weren’t mentioned in the link
Ah it’s different from what I originally assumed

(See page 509)
knowledge isn’t necessary, just assumptions
“need not be committed while in the heat of passion”
“The statute also uses the phrase “before the parties … have separated.” This has been interpreted to mean only that the parties are still in each other’s company, not that they are still united in the act of copulation”
“while the husband may justifiably kill his wife’s paramour," he may not […] inflict serious bodily injury (mutulation) upon the paramour without an intent to kill”
“Further, the wife is not justified in taking the life of her husband’s mistress”
Especially the new pinned posts, it looks like they might be new Reddit only. I guess we’ll have to wait and try it once a few subs implement it
My thoughts:
A handful of these changes are things that Lemmy currently allows, or has Github issues for in the queue. Others (mainly moderation ones), are things that would be nice to have here as well. The temporary traffic spike feature could do wonders here with the spam waves
Search engine indexing, rather than search inside Lemmy/threadiverse platforms
That way people come across the good content when searching for things
This browser extension “would allow Facebook users to automatically unfollow their friends, groups, and pages, and, in doing so, to effectively turn off their newsfeeds, which Facebook algorithmically sorts to drive user engagement,” the Knight Institute said in a statement.
Interesting, I’ve been doing that manually for a while now (not Facebook though, I haven’t opened that feed in years).
Here’s an article from 2021:

Maybe it could be specific to each user?
Few ideas
a community for people to post in on their cake day, where they can comment on some aspect of their life that’s improved in the last year / something they’re grateful for
if you come across a cake day account, pop into their history and comment on something you find interesting
I love the feel of this one, it’s… soft in a nice way?
I would say to just try it out and see how it is! The live USB works nicely and you can decide you don’t like a distro and move on rapidly. There are also tools out there that let you load up multiple distros on the USB at once, and then pick which one to use when you boot up.
I went through my own struggles with dual booting Linux some time ago. If you search on Lemmy, you can find those embarrassing posts. It was my fault, I got confident and messed with ‘grub’ in all the wrong ways, before cutting my losses early and reverting everything because I had other commitments to deal with.
The good thing though is that it’s totally possible to put Windows back 100% the way it was before, even after messing up as badly as I did (I couldn’t boot into either operating system because the machine couldn’t find the boot entry). Once you’re ready to replace windows with Linux (or dual boot etc.), make a good backup with something like Macrium Reflect and you should be safe to go for it. I highly doubt you’ll make the mistakes I did, the story is to say that you can mess up and be just fine!
As for your use case:
As for what people recommended, and what I’m planning to try soon
I wasn’t sure myself honestly, thought I’d check if someone else brought it up first
I think people get super excited to share the good news that it’s not a company behind it and all the benefits that come with that
Thank you, that was helpful!
What aspects do you like about 9gag? (memes, specific content, interface, etc.)
That might help people guide you to something different. Unfortunately I haven’t used 9gag in years so I don’t know what it’s like now
I feel like it fits the intent of the community, but yea you’d need a mod to weigh in
Some more variants if a workout isn’t your thing
Which do you recommend?
Currently, it’s mostly manual removals which isn’t sustainable if the platform grows. Various instances are experimenting with their own moderation tools outside of Lemmy, and I don’t think Lemmy itself has any features to combat this. Moderation improvements is something that’s been talked about with Sublinks.
What additional measures could further improve these efforts?
Having an ‘automod’, similar to but more advanced than Reddit, would help a lot as the first step. No one likes excess use of automod, but not having it at all will be much worse. Having an improved automod system with guides and tips on how to use it effectively, will go a long way towards making moderation easier.
Do you have any guides or tips for others that might want to do the same?
‘clean up your PC’ type programs get sketchy, so reliable recommendations would be appreciated
I must have had a very surface level understanding of what it was. The parts I saw previously were about finding which charities to donate to and career development.
I’ve got more to read about for sure
Usually because resources are limited, both financial and time, so people make do with what they can.
As projects grow, and as the FOSS alternatives improve, projects can switch over.
