  • Here are a few things off the top of my head.

    Deleted accounts leave orphaned posts/comments, which still exist on the site but can be difficult for admins to find and remove: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5525

    Private message reports don’t go to all the right people: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4436

    We should be getting some vote analytics in the future, which will be great. Lemmy seems to have a significant number of vote manipulation accounts that only exist to upvote/downvote in unison, but they are currently hard to find. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5669

    I really should open an issue to improve the reports queue. It’s tolerable if you mod an individual community or a smaller instance, but it is unusable as an admin on a really big instance like .world. There is no way to search or sort the reports. You can filter by posts or comments but then it only shows you 20 entries, which is a weird and unhelpful limitation. All reports have equal priority; there is no mechanism for users to flag reports that should be escalated to admins. And, if something is heavily reported, there is no way to batch resolve the reports after you address the issue.

    The 1st Amendment hasn’t stopped the current administration from deporting hundreds of legal residents for simply voicing their political opinions. Constitutional rights aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.

    And did you see today’s news? We’re arresting judges now.


  • Yeah, a short explanatory paragraph at the top of the instance sidebar and this community sidebar would be very helpful. Maybe something like this, just off the top of my head:

    50501.chat is home of the 50501 movement on Lemmy. Get involved, find a protest, and help stop the US’s slide into authoritarianism!

    I have often found this to be an issue with grassroots political organizing. Lots of calls to action without any context regarding the goal(s) or why people should care enough to join.
