Hey all, if you notice any comments that clearly don't belong here please hit the report button! In the next few days I will be checking in every few hours to ensure this community is in tip top shape.

I have also recruited two new mods.

You should probably find some active users to appoint as moderators, to reduce your workload.

Thank you! Will do.

would be interested in if @tmpod@lemmy.pt has any interest, also if anyone has nominations i'm all for it.

I confess I was not expecting to be nominated hehe, but I'm up for it, if you think I'd be a good addition to the team :)

I saw you locked one off-topic post. It would be nice if you would also add a comment to such posts why it was locked. Otherwise if people randomly stumble upon such posts, it may leave the impression that the mods ban random things.

I don't think they're too bad atm, but I am willing to do mod work if needed.

WDYM? Like the spammers brigading and trolling the communities this month?

[–] atomicshrimp@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I bet it's a spammer singular

it feels like too much effort for one person to be doing, but if it is one person, then they're far more pitiful than I assumed. seriously, can you imagine what a person who'd go through this much effort to accomplish nothing must be living like? It genuinely makes me sad for them to think about.

like, if it is one person, and they're not just a 15 year old with a bunch of free time, I'll be genuinely shocked. pitiful is a word I've already used in this comment, but it's honestly the only nice word I can think of for that level of depravity.

go to 7m50s, this fascist was very active online and was 15. One of his compatriots was 12 iirc. One or both of them were trying to buy weapons iirc. Which is why i think it's a lone wolf ~~terrorist~~ 15 year old

That makes a lot more sense actually. I wonder what attracted that user to your instance tho
