How this community is moderated.

~~I’m the sole moderator here but~~ I have a couple of accounts on different instances so I can see all the comments regardless of DDoS and defederaton. My main account is SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk but I’m also SomeoneElse@ lemmy.world, feddit.uk and lemmy.ca. You can contact me on any account.

EDIT: devtimi@lemmy.world has volunteered to mod with me so there are two of us now!

This community has quickly grown to 2.5k subscribers, 30 posts and a whopping 1.4k comments in just a month. Thank you to everyone who’s followed the rules and subscribed, voted, or commented. To ensure this community remains the friendly, entertaining and inclusive place it was intended to be, please report any comments that break the rules listed in the sidebar.

If you break the rules, your comment is likely to be removed. I will also message you with either a reminder to follow the rules or a warning. You get one warning. If you break the rules again, you will be banned.

Additional moderators.

So fair the vast majority of subscribers have followed the rules and discussions have been largely respectful and interesting. Thank you to everyone who’s contributed. My hope for this community is that it continues with a Lemmy feel and doesn’t turn into a Reddit 2.0. To that end I just wanted to remind everyone to read the rules in the sidebar. Please report any comments/users that break those rules.

It’s likely that I’ll need help modding this community if it continues to grow at its current pace, so if you’re interested, drop me a message. Having previous moderator experience and living in a different time zone from me (Europe, BST) would be ideal but it’s not a must by any means.

I’m open to all suggestions on how this community is run including adding or refining community rules, posting guidelines and feedback on how hands on or off you’d like the moderating team to be. Feel free to message me or comment below.

It’s good to have you here 😊

Light-skinned is the right translation. But you mean “advice”. Advice is a noun - it is the information. Advise is a verb - to advise someone means to tell them something. I’m advising you by giving you this advice. That not the best example but hopefully it makes sense! And one last thing, it’s discussions not discussion. But that’s really nitpicking. Plenty of native English speakers make those mistakes and what you wrote was understandable. I wish I was remotely as good at Spanish as you are English!

I’m pretty sure McDonald’s Cyrus isn’t a bot.

Good point. It’s definitely what I’d claim if I was the guy who replied!

I’m not dyslexic but I have macular issues which make reading a bit difficult. Switching to the open dyslexic font on my kindle has been a game changer.

No, I merely steal content from Reddit to get this community up and running. The same question was asked on the Reddit thread and apparently it was censored to comply with Reddit’s site wide rules. I think the paper is considered public information and the Twitter name is considered private by Reddit or something.

And 5 time finalist of the Eureka Prize - which sounds impressive even if I’ve never heard of it!

Oh man, I want that set up so badly!!

As I sit here happy and secure in my own relationship, I’m inclined to say I’d rather be single than online date. But if I actually found myself single before I’m even 40 I suspect I’d change my mind eventually - that’s a lot of life left to go through alone. And the only way I’d be likely to meet someone would be online, so needs must.

Online dating is very much the norm. I have no idea how I’d meet a new partner without it (if I was in the market for one).

I’m dirt poor but I’ve donated to Wikipedia at least three times now. I use that website so often, it’s changed my life.
