Is this still freedom of speech or it crosses into hate?
(lemmy.world)
Actually no, it isn't personal
It comes from the very same thing you wrote in the second part of this post. No-one on Lemmy gets paid for their work. And communities have to be easy to set up, so "the committee" does not become a burned-out, too-powerful, bottleneck
But that means that it is also OUR (non-mod, just a lemming) responsibility to mark stuff that we feel is out of line, when we have the capacity to do so. If lemmy.world agrees this is out of line, simply blocking and muting does not help the wider community, only solves the problem for me. Anyone else coming in with fresh account will see this shit on the front, local posts page
And yes, the ones crossing the lines can easily come back. And I probably won't catch them next time because I'll be busy with my RL. That's fine
What I do have control over is whether I cover the eyes or not. When I don't have capacity to mark something, I cover them and move along. Other times, I flag them. In this situation I couldn't find a report button for a whole community so created a post
It's the same as a pile of trash on the pavement. If it's not a burden in their schedule, a regular member of public should call the city about it. And when they don't have time to do that, hopefully someone else will, that were busy the other day. How many of these someone-elses there are is not something we can control. But we can control if we are the someone else ATM
If we want to have corp-less commons, we have to be part of the team sometimes, when we have the capacity to do so
I had for this one, and now I'm moving on with my life :) ✌
Haven't tested it but it seems so. Android client has the button too
