IPO = Initial Public Offering, where shareholders offer to sell their shares to the public, shifting a company from a “private company” (it belongs to me, you, and that guy) to a “public company” (it belongs to anyone who pays enough for the shares).
The userbase has been always touchy when it comes to IPO, and rightfully so; they know that the new owners will only care about squeezing the platform dry. As such, I predict a new flood of Redditfugees to Lemmy and Kbin.
You and him seem really confused to expect any actual data out of an anecdote, but you do you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Speaking as a mod]
You don’t have data, you were sharing an anecdote, that’s 100% fine. But chill on the passive aggression.
Nah, sorry. I have this dipshit troll tagged already from a month ago. He does this crap all the time.
If you see trolling behaviour in this community, please report it, either through the report button or through DM. With evidences that the user is trolling (that’s important).
Don’t try to solve it through aggressions, passive or active, as they encourage other users to behave the same, and make the community less fun for everyone. OK?
Are you saying reports do not link to the actual reported comment and I have to manually add the reference link myself?
And this interaction was in another community. Besides, I’ve given up on reporting anything on this particular instance, as most mods on here seem to not take actions against tankies, even when they’re straight up insulting people or spreading disinformation. I was about to block this community as well anyway after dropping my initial reply to someone else, as I do this now to all the Lemmy.ml ones that pop up in my feed.
I’m not saying so. I offered DMs as an option because issues are often complex and depend on multiple instances of behaviour, while the report button will refer to a single piece of content and that’s it.
Is the report function different on Lemmy? Ob Kbin I get a form field where I can add additional information. A DM typically invites someone to potentially respond, which I’m really not looking for.
I’m not sure on Kbin, but in Lemmy it’ll add a “report” entry with the following:
It’s often simply not enough. In Reddit you’d handle more complex matters through modmail, it’s basically a DM “to the mod team”; Lemmy doesn’t have something like this yet, so my go-to approach would be to DM the head mod of the relevant comm.
Kbin does not fetch & show the moderators of other instances yet and just shows ernest (Kbin admin) as owner & moderator. I personally wouldn’t do it anyway but maybe something to keep in mind when interacting with other Kbin users.
What makes you think we expect any data? It was just a kind request if you had any lying around, if not that’s perfectly reasonable. No reason to get dickish about it.
Yeah, nice gaslighting buddy but I am very much capable of reading bad faith arguments.
sure buddy, it’s the beginning of a bad faith argument and gaslighting, suree… If it helps you sleep better we can all pretend that’s what it is and not just some random people genuinely interested in that data.
Thanks for proving my point. 🤡
