Hexbear will be federating soon, there should be pinned post explaining it
Hello Users of Hexbear I wanted to have a featured post discussing the next steps for federation. We have discussed this at length among the mod team, and it is pretty much evenly split between federating based on a "block-list" or federating based on an "allow-list". While the mod team slightly ske...
Hexbear is far more likely to have users entering and using our comms, being another large socialist instance, albeit dedicated to left unity rather than Marxism like ourselves. I think there is enough of a culture change that we need to have a pinned post for hexbear users coming here explaining what kind of content/attitudes they might see here/what different rules to follow
There should also be a section dedicated to explaining to lemmygrad users to respect hexbear comm rules and what to expect from their users etc.
I think this would help ease any potential cross site struggle sessions
You're viewing a single thread.
We really need an automoderator bot that posts at the top of all theads (and which community mods can customize a little) which reminds people (hexbear users and liberals from other instances) that this is an explicitly Marxist (communist) instance (no left unity), anti-communism (good faith questions allowed), bigotry, etc won't be tolerated.
Many people use mobile apps. On them you don't see community statements or rules before you enter a place so that's only going to be more of a problem but I understand admins are bogged down with fixing actually broken things and critical infrastructure. Just something I hope they can get to if that ever lets up (or maybe instance admins could do).
That kind of thing.
I don't mind them. I even have an account there but sometimes I need a break from that kind of atmosphere, so I hope we retain the culture of this place because they outnumber us and if anyone is going to impose anyone's culture on anyone it will be them on us via sheer user count and the fact many of them never log off (their joke).
I worry that if we let them they'll turn part of this place into a shitposting instance devoid of theory or serious discussion and bankrupted of serious Marxism in favor of compatible-leftism that viciously attacks core Marxist principles upheld by all AES nations in favor of idealistic, "compromise" anarchist/western thinking.
They're anti-imperialism. Have a good line on imperialism and being anti-NATO, US, and against the synthetic-CIA-left but that's about where it ends. Many of them hold idealistic, vulgar, even occasionally viciously counter-revolutionary opinions/lines. All sugar-coated naturally in getting along and good vibes.

You know I was just looking at the auto moderator GitHub page, and thinking, I wonder how hard it would be to convert the API calls to Lemmy from reddit.
I think the OG automod used the wiki for configuration. Not sure how to get around that since Lemmy has no wiki.
Probably would need to be configured as a community bot first and then figure out how to expand it into a instance level bot.
I do think you're a little harsh here, but yes an automod feature is sorely needed. I did see some rumblings about making one a few weeks ago on another instance, not sure if they've made an progress though
I mean I take personal offense as a woman at saying women should be able to be rented, sex for profit, commodification of the feminine form and calling that comradely and calling upholding the contrary Marxist view bigotry but go off.
Smattering of electoralists there too, much gnashing over who or if they should voooote this next election.
I just said I think it's a little harsh, there's no need to pop off at me comrade. I prefer lemmygrad for a reason
Not popping off at you. Sorry if I gave that impression. Simply giving my take and justification including expanding on it.
but go off
it's ok, just fyi it was this part that made me think you were popping off
