I get that the mod team doesn’t want to be seen as ‘censoring’ or shutting down discussion, especially without elections or a community mandate, but this approach isn’t panning out, and it’s getting frustrating as hell for the userbase.

We’d even be better off having a front page full of China struggle sessions than this garbage.

They’ve tried reaching a consensus with the wreckers, but it’s not happening.

Let’s get that community mandate, and move on.

    I am just trying to grill right now, not read all this discord nonsense

        Many public parks have grills. Just bring the charcoal, lighter fluid, grilling tools, and a lot of hot dogs

          Bring a grill brush (the cleaning kind, not the basting variety) too because they can be crusty.

        Well yes, you just need a metal grid over a fire, just look for some shopping carts and police cars around you :)

    if people absolutely MUST post shitcord drama here, then make a !discord for it so that I don't have to freaking see it in my /new.

    but it would be better if everyone could shut their up entirely.

    It's like the giant advertising mascots from The Simpsons, Treehouse of Horror VI episode (1995). If we stop paying attention to it, it will go away.

    Are lemmy and chapo.chat two different places? Shouldn't we all just move to one?

      This is the Lemmy. Lemmy is the software and Chapo.chat is the name.

        Thank you. I haven't been able to find my post history, is that a thing here? Due to my tremendous insecurity and vanity, i simply must look at my old posts and assess my self worth based on how many arrows they get

      lemmy.ml and chapo.chat are both instances powered by lemmy! in the future once federation is ready, all lemmy instances will be able to talk to each other :)

    I'm a bit torn, only because I feel like it should be archived for sake of posterity, but maybe we literally just take a snapshot on the internet archive then?

      I don’t believe deleted posts end up fully deleted. They’re still on the server.

      Ideally it’d be like Reddit, where deleted threads remain accessible.

      Does the internet archive even work on this site?
