Eating M&Ms by color - it has absolutely no purpose and they’re bad for me, but oh so satisfying.

@OriginalThinker@lemmy.ml, I’m responding to your DM here.

We don’t move posts to the correct community because Lemmy doesn’t have that option - and I’d rather you got to choose where your content lands.

As for why we don’t reach out and tell people - this is a volunteer job on a big community. We rely on the mod log and allow this kind of meta post to stay up for transparency and discussion. Otherwise, we focus on following the rules laid out so that this community can stay within its intended scope. This is a community for open questions and discussion - not support.

I’m sorry you don’t feel welcomed - that’s tough. However, communities come with their own rules and mods will make sure they’re enforced. I’d recommend checking those rules carefully before posting in the future as that will help the reception of your post.

This is more of a support question, related to using Lemmy. Please see the sidebar for a list of communities that offer support. Removing under rule #3.

I access Lemmy through the browser all the time. The experience is solid and consistent across devices and I need access to both mod and (occasionally) admin tools.

We could - but we’re still getting comments here. Why not continue to use this thread and sort by new?

Also - this topic doesn’t even really belong in Asklemmy per the rules. If anything, I’m more inclined to unpin it and return to dealing with posts as needed.

It’s not just the mods but the admins going to lengths to keep their instances clean. The awfulness outlined in that post means I’m not sure I should keep hosting my own instance.

Please check the sidebar for tips. Closing per rule #3.

Removing per rule 4 - we’ve have a few similar questions and this doesn’t cover any new ground.

Locking this thread per rule #2; we don’t have the bandwidth to moderate political discussions.

Much appreciated! It’s nice to have a clean, relevant community.

If you’re ever curious about mods’ impact, take a look at the modlog in the sidebar. I’d link it here but it is instance-specific.

Speaking as a real support person, people do ask and it’s fun to come up with responses. It really depends on my mood.
