This level of editorial influence sounds to me like Reddit is becoming more of a media publisher/editor instead of just a platform, which would (should) remove their protection from defamation & other law suits based on content published on the site…
Oh yay!! I’m glad they’ve already made the update to the codebase. I wasn’t expecting it to be that fast lol.
You’re welcome to point people here if you want! Though, that one could be for Lemmy updates only & they could be cross-posted to this one too! Whatever you’d like to do :)
We actually don’t want to focus on Reddit lol, it probably comes across that way because we’re mostly Reddit refugees who loved best of Redditor updates :). I’m going to be posting from AskAManager & others too, but will probably wait for the character limit update.
Hey - I’m happy to help mod. I’m also modding a couple of other sub replacements :)
Btw, you can promote people to mods by clicking the 3 dots under their comment & clicking to appoint (I think that’s the word they use) as a mod. I had to learn that myself lol
In practice you’re correct, but legally, things are more complicated. There are now various laws (GDPR the most notable) that require, among other things, for platforms to delete all data associated with a user upon their request.
I was able to join! Had to sign up for Discord first before the link would work. FYI to @nosut@lemmy.world & @phthalocyanin@lemmy.world; let us know if you have trouble joining! We’ll chat more there :)
Added you :), since you mentioned doing stuff on discord, would you be able to create a group chat for us mods to chat about the path forward/etc. for this community? I don’t have a discord, but can create one. It looks like there isn’t a built-in group chat feature here on Lemmy :(
Yay! Figured it out XD. Under each of your comments, I tapped the 3 dots, then selected appoint as a mod :). Good to know for the future haha
