This is horrible and terrible. Just suspend new subscription untill you find a way to address this thing. Now we have gore image too. Please just shut down new subscriptions for now, those trolls attacks are completely out of control

I have already banned those clowns from Sopuli.xyz, it's good if the mods of Lemmy.ml do their jobs too.

Could you point out to me which users we are talking about (DM ig)? I'd like to ban then on lemmy.pt too.

Idk if lemmy.ml have mods in multiple tz but if it's not the case it could be nice to consider it.

Some of the mods may be sleeping; here in Finland the clock is 12:37 but in New York it's 05:37.

Yeah, that's why I think it could be nice to have mods in different tz, to be able to act as soon as possible.

wtf "clowns"... theyre f-ing terrorists

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 years ago

I saw 15 years old students in my old high school doing worse things so I think only the first word can apply.

If I want to consider someone terrorist, maybe I would start with the teachers that did nothing to stop fights and similar issues.

Clowns or terrorists, they are banned regardless.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 years ago

Terrorist clowns?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago

A problem that can easily be solved with more mods :) Lemmy has grown a lot lately so I consider this a growing pain.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

All of the accounts were created two days ago.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

So are those trolls that were not banned yesterday? Awesome

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

I might want to say I am willing to be a mod (I live in the CET tz, btw), although I am not entirely certain I would be (good) mod material. I would not mind giving that a try though.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 years ago

haih.. good luck to the mods..

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Are you proposing a solution to make Lemmy as irrelevant as private torrent tracker sites that have interviews? Reddit also gets an influx, and Lemmy is not even getting 1/100th of the traffic.

Lemmy needs extra active moderators from different time zones. Think Middle East, South Asia or Far East.

"Untill you find a solution". I never implied to shut down subscription forever, of course

[–] [email protected] -5 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Mastodon can enable a feature where you have to write the reason you want to join. That could solve a lot of these problems.

If this continues, I will leave the site.

We're not perfect, just doing the best we can. If you demand that we are, I suggest you leave right now, because we can never be perfect.
