Why bother with that? If you need shoes to dissolve, regardless of the materials, just subject them to my foot sweat for a few months.

My joke answer is to directly tell them that they are not allowed to come on your lawn, to not let their kids do the same, and that it’s your property, not a zoo.

This way you’ll guarantee that your house is egged often enough that some of the eggs may not break, and some subset of those could be adopted by the ducks and hatched into baby birds that the kids also won’t be able to come look at.

It’s not the reviewer’s fault! When they asked ChatGPT to peer review the paper it found nothing wrong.

I agree, this would be a bad setting to have before the platform fixes the broader issue.

There are lots of reasons people downvote things and for many communities it has nothing to do with that community’s content quality. Until communities can opt out of inclusion in the All list it’s just going to disappear communities for people.

No worries! Glad to help.

Did you comment this in the wrong place?

If you search for mod, it changes to modded for all of the search types other than User. And it’s not just OP experience it, I see it as well.

That’s bizarre. I can reproduce this.

The Golden Girls reboot looks frightening.

Nobody uses Java… it’s too popular.

It’s an ActivityPub protocol implementing fediverse platform. It has the equivalent of lemmy’s communities which it calls magazines, but it also has microblogging similar to mastadon mixed in.

As a result they sort of work together which is awesome, but also you get stuff like what OP is asking about.

I haven’t tried LLMs myself, but even completely made up garbage would be better than today’s search engine results.

You either get advertisements for things that have nothing to do with what you’re trying to find or you get privacy preserving links to sites that have nothing to do with what you’re trying to find.

This is true. I asked my LLM.

Like search bars.

If you think of LLMs as a thing to replace search bars then this kind of makes sense.

First, sorry I misunderstood your ACAB statement. It’s an unhelpful modlog comment to get, especially in a ban comment. Your experience sounds similar to OP’s and my response was rude to not acknowledge that.

I’ve been more responding to the upstream comment that “lemmy has a chance to be worse on this.”

What drove OP away from reddit wasn’t just that moderators abused their power. It was that abuse plus the complete lack of feedback and/or rude feedback.

I didn’t pick my phrasing carefully before as I meant to argue that lemmy only has the chance to be the same or better due to the modlog. Specifically it offers an option of transparency in moderation that reddit doesn’t.

Lemmy still has people who abuse power as mods. And it clearly has rude feedback as an option as you experienced. But for when it’s used appropriately that is better than what reddit can offer.

The original comment also claimed that reporting to the instance admin is your only recourse. But creating an account on another instance is a more drastic option that OP can take on lemmy and it’s not available on reddit.

And instance admins can use the federation system to block instances that aren’t compatible with their values or for other reasons.

My ultimate reasoning for arguing any of this is two parts.

• Lemmy is confusing sometimes with the features it offers above the reddit experience not being self explanatory.
• It felt like this thread was trying to scare OP away and I’d rather let OP know what’s here and hope for the best for them

I agree from a general fuck lawns perspective. I hope to never rake another leaf or mow another blade of grass in my life.

In the context of my argument, though, I’m complaining about the propaganda tactic involved. They’re manipulating the public by using a subject that brings up outrage already (lawns are bad is part of it, but the bigger part is pitting the poor against the not as poor but definitely not really wealthy) in order to draw attention away from the real issue.

Except on reddit you don’t even know you’re banned half the time, and have no way to find out.

All of what you’re describing happens on reddit and you wouldn’t even know for sure if your ACAB comment was the thing that got you banned.

I’m not saying that it’s fixed here. But it is improved more or less compared to reddit.

Because the problem OP experienced involves not knowing what’s going on and nobody believed them.

It’s amazing how context matters on these things, because I was pretty peeved for her when I saw the original article.

Her comment feels a little callous and manipulative with this context, but I am going to give the benefit of the doubt that she didn’t have these details when she made her post.
