this comment was deleted by someone else for disclosing the identity behind a mod action, but since it was my identity being revealed i am choosing to reply to it.

These actions are being taken by .ml site admin Arthur Besse / cypherpunks. There’s nothing I can do as a mere community mod ^^

As a moderator, you could and imo definitely should remove the links to that instance from the sidebar, and in their place put a note mentioning that sexualized drawings of children are not allowed here. I’m not really into anime but I have enjoyed some and I would rather that we could have a community for it here than not. But, that requires moderators who are willing to delete things like that (not to mention not link to it themselves).

Any volunteers?

lol at redacting that password

Edit: for anyone upvoting this because they think it’s about sharing a shortcut, look again.

also for everyone reporting this as “offtopic” 😄

Thanks for the effort, but, unless I’m missing something, this is unnecessary because you can simply make a relative link like [this](/c/lemmy@lemmy.ml) (this) and get the same effect. Also, as of 0.18.0, a string like /c/lemmy@lemmy.ml automatically becomes a relative link, like this: /c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

However, these relative links unfortunately don’t work on non-lemmy activitypub sites like mastodon and kbin.

imo, despite this, for now an easy improvement that should be made is that lemmy’s autocomplete functionality (when typing !communityname...) should be changed to generate relative links.

I haven’t followed the discussion closely but there are multiple github issues about this problem. One is here and from it you can find some others.

their admin says clearly that “racism, bigotry, sexism is allowed" there.

someone tell the bot author about xkcd #327

it’s disappointing seeing so many people here excited about something that is not (and apparently not planning to be) free open source software :(

…and less than a month later, the new lemmy release allows following peertube channels!

thanks, @nutomic@lemmy.ml et al!
