Maybe another stupid question, but how does someone mod 50+ communities? I imagine a low-traffic sub would be easy, but a high-traffic one is bound to attract lots of a–holes who need comments deleted/banning/reporting, etc.
Is this a 24 hr/day gig? Do these mods have day jobs?
I guess my main questions are how do they do it, and why do they do it.
Well, if you’re on desktop and you don’t mind installing scripts on your browser, there’s a Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey script. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/141704

Not even gonna lie. I’m going to try this.
OMG, same here. I got tired of buying a new inkjet every 2 years or so. I bought a Brother laser all-in-one 4 yrs ago and haven’t looked back. My only regret was not spending the extra bucks to get a color model.
Ahh, I get that reference. I fell asleep when I tried to watch the actual movie. Thanks.
I don’t get it, but I’m upvoting.
Ok that pisses me off.
You federated wrong. You’re actually on Legume-ey.world
I’ll see myself out.
I guess I’m just a cynic, but I assumed this was in reference to a politician who recently received a golf simulator from a campaign donor. He didn’t disclose it in accordance with state law concerning gifts over $100, but I’m sure he meant to but forgot.
Or it would just be a random post.
When I was growing up, back in the Paleozoic era, I’m pretty sure it was illegal to have a red light on the front, white light on the back(except for backup lights), and blue or green were illegal anywhere on a vehicle. But all that seems to have gone out the window since then.
Of course any vehicle that’s been modified to produce excess smoke violates federal (EPA) and possibly local law, but we see how well that’s enforced.
I think these numbers are inflated, but the problem is still pretty bad.
Part of the problem is we have some politicians here that thrive on uneducated voters. Uneducated voters also tend to be more racist, and racists are a really reliable voting block if you speak their language. Also, they tend to believe “news” that corresponds with what they already believe, so social media and telemarketing works really well on them. Abortion and contraception bans increase the number of children born into poverty, who won’t get a decent education and will rely on what they learn from their parents or TV.
So education funding rarely gets increased.
We’ve got an election coming up in 16 months in the US. So I imagine we’ll see a lot of bots registering soon.
Tenemos una elección en 16 meses en los Estados Unidos. Así que me imagino que veremos muchos bots registrándose pronto.
Totally.
There was a former reddit mod on here a few days ago talking about how a small percentage of users make most of the posts/comments there. Personally, I’m glad to get away from that.
There may not be much content here, but at least the average person can be heard.
I’m new here just like most other folks, but from what I’ve seen so far is: Lemmy is a place to post links to your content, Peertube is the place to post your videos, Pixelfed is the place to post GIFs and short videos. Lemmy can handle picture uploads, but not much more than that right now.
But none of these instances is going to survive if users don’t donate. All those corporate social media sites were free because you weren’t the customer, you were the product.
There’s no hate like Linux on Linux hate.
Not gonna lie, I didn’t know what a lemming looked like until today.
Here’s the first batch of 4 bored Lemmys, quick and dirty. I’mma start the bidding at $600 each.
also /s
Ahh. That explains a lot. Thanks.
