Should this be cross posted to uplifting news? Seems about their speed.

Done, with some changes. https://mander.xyz/post/10393242

Update, they do not like it

Extra Update, they pulled it for not being "uplisfting" enough.

"admin Removed Post Great news for jam lovers! reason: Not uplisfting"

I do find it odd since they still have a lot of the same posts as here and orphan crushing machine.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !orphancrushing@lemmy.world

Can we not bomb and raid other communities, pretty please?

I know the community is not perfect, but let's not turn Lemmy into a warzone. We're not on Reddit.

Just out of curiosity what do you define as raiding? I don't know much about the term as I never posted on reddit.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Essentially making posts and comments with an intent malicious in relation to the goals of the community with a clear intent of mocking or bullying, as well as coordinating such actions at scale.

Raiding is very bad because it doesn't actually serve to rectify the wrongs of the community or provoke deep thinking, but increases intolerance and hostility.

If you want Uplifting News to be actually uplifting, make your voice heard in the comment section on how short-sighted such approach is, and if somebody asks, direct them to the orphan crushing machine phenomenon. Also, post actually uplifting news - ones that would be seen as positive by absolute majority of the audience.

Thanks for the definition, however I never did the above and certainly nothing with malicious intent.
