MODERATORS
 

@hybridsarcasm@lemmy.world has not replied to me (or anyone according to his profile) after that last bit about making me and @ayyy@sh.itjust.works mods, so I'm going to go ahead and work on holding down the fort. Its a bit of a hectic weekend for me with activities for my kids, so you may see some post activity being restored or other such things in no particular order.

So who am I?

Well, I'm a specialist consultant by day, and an avid self-hoster. Off the top of my head, I host:

  • Jellyfin
  • An over-complicated *arr stack to suit my particular tastes of media management
  • Prometheus+Loki+Grafana for my monitoring stack
  • Home Assistant
  • Personal website
  • Immich
  • MagicMirror
  • ROMM for that fun emulation on the go
  • Kavita (mostly because I keep forgetting to change the url on my wife's phone for the other OPDS server) & Calibre (the other OPDS)
  • Local AI models for testing purposes mostly
  • Endurain for my post-Strava life
  • Various stuff for utility for SSO, LDAP, databases, MQTT, so on and so forth

Predominantly running on Proxmox as LXCs, with some docker here and there. So pretty much the same as a lot of you, just another *selfhoster (edit: WHOOPS! I a whole word there, now fixed)

Moderation Style

Lets call it "light touch". I'm pretty sure everyone here is more than capable of handling most things with the appropriate votes - we've seen this with the recent thread that resulted in this moderation change. In case you couldn't also guess from my home instance, I'm a firm believer in people being able to regulate themselves, so as far as I'm concerned that means the rules themselves can be up for discussion as well. As this community is on lemmy.world, of course that means the TOS here must be respected.

There are people on both sides of the keyboards, so please be respectful of others.

The one thing that I just do not tolerate is bigotry.

And finally, feel free to send me a message to address any issues! So lets have some fun with self-hosting.

Edit: Added a direct link to the Lemmy.world TOS for clarity. This community is on Lemmy.world and subject to its terms, as managed by the admin team.

Certainly not me - thats an instance rule over at the FAF, and not something I'd want to see in the first place.

That said I also accept that people have off days sometimes, and a conversation that gets to that point probably wasn't handled well either to get to that point of escalation.

I would not expect to see that again in comments without a mod action on it, fwiw.

No, the other one.

Great to hear that you would have a problem with it.

Personally, unless you guys feel you are absolutely up to the task on your own, I think you should also search out a great candidate and add at least one more mod.

Part of my plan personally, but until I hear back from the lemmy.world mod team I can't even get my newly created .world alt for reports modded. I have a ticket open, once its resolved I'll be able to make a post about it.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Great!!

Thanks for stepping up.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That person appears to have also blocked me. For mentioning this history, I assume. Which seems like a REALLY bad sign for this community if so.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Got it, I'll look into things there and reach out

I'm still waiting on the LW team, could be a few days before I can do much more than the basics here...

Thanks. So far you seem like exactly the kind of person needed, I really appreciate all the thoughtful engagement already (not to me specifically, but with the community)
