Allen ein schönes Wochenende ☀️

The war on ICs is just as dumb as the war on drugs.

It is now Saturday! We made it thru week 358 of 2020!!! Nothing works but many of us are alive!

Literally nothing is stopping you from creating communities or even an entire instance that follows that principle…

If you want to do it, then do it.

And if people want it, they’ll participate.

But even if they do, I don’t think you’ll get the result you expect and want

New Pick & Mix with @dgar , @darkwolf and an ALL NEW Pick & Mix dedicated to Jazz & Funk by our new labr collective contributor, Mr. @dlakelan

But for now, if you're up late, or just waking up, rock out with the Original Pick & Mix with Lady @DJUpNorth with her Brand New Crates. They pick em. I Mix em. LIVE... No automation. no syncing. no ai. Just me, my brain and my hands.

Don't think we did such a bad job. Join us if you missed it.

May you have the courage to break the patterns in your life that are no longer serving you

I’m splitting this into two parts. First identifying the issue. And second my personal idea for a solution. I’m hoping for a lot of discussion so please be clear which part you are responding to.

Part 1: The problem

Reddit as a platform has many flaws. Obviously being a corporation means they’re terrible no matter what. But their platform is also flawed. Even if Reddit was 100% community owned the platform would still be flawed. The number one thing that is ruining Reddit are the tyrannical mods.

Each community on Reddit is a dictatorship. Whoever is arbitrarily in charge of a community has full unrestricted power to do whatever they want. The people who are actually creating the content and sharing it are totally at their whim. I understand that modding is a difficult and thankless job, but toxic mods ruined Reddit and Lemmy will do the same if it’s not addressed.

Lemmy’s answer is to allow people to create their own instances. Don’t like the mods at World? Go make your own Lemmy, with blackjack and hookers. But that’s not sufficient. It takes years to build up a community to have enough people for meaningful discussion to happen, and nearly all communities or instances fail. We absolutely need a way for mods to answer to the users.

Part 2: My solution

My solution is simple. Lemmy is built on the community. Everyone helps run it. Therefore mods are elected by the users who generate the highest upvoted content in a community.

Elections should happen on a schedule and, if a community is particularly upset with a mod, a vote of no confidence can be taken.

I understand that this will be a huge undertaking. But I truly believe that we need to fix this issue for Lemmy to thrive long term. Or else we’ll just end up with another Reddit.

@fesshole I misread "crows" as "cows" at first and wondered about the dimensions of your balcony, how the cows got there in the first place, how you manage the cow manure and many other things, so thank you for igniting my imagination and many happy years with the crows!

Today, we are at Capitole du Libre!!

Come and visit our booth while you are around. Chat with our community, get a sticker or a t-shirt!

Thank you to our community to organise it!
