Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind.

Some transitions encourage us to be “meek” as well.

Here are a few things off the top of my head.

Deleted accounts leave orphaned posts/comments, which still exist on the site but can be difficult for admins to find and remove: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5525

Private message reports don’t go to all the right people: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4436

We should be getting some vote analytics in the future, which will be great. Lemmy seems to have a significant number of vote manipulation accounts that only exist to upvote/downvote in unison, but they are currently hard to find. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5669

I really should open an issue to improve the reports queue. It’s tolerable if you mod an individual community or a smaller instance, but it is unusable as an admin on a really big instance like .world. There is no way to search or sort the reports. You can filter by posts or comments but then it only shows you 20 entries, which is a weird and unhelpful limitation. All reports have equal priority; there is no mechanism for users to flag reports that should be escalated to admins. And, if something is heavily reported, there is no way to batch resolve the reports after you address the issue.

Humans are messed up.

In other news, I would totally buy a box of those to gift to my family.

This worked until my kids developed a tolerance for heat. They are adapting! It’s only a matter of time before they are completely resistant!

I just Tineye’d this one after I posted it and it’s older than I assumed. Sorry if y’all have seen it a million times.

This joke was inspired by me stealing it from somebody else on the internet. We’re a bunch of Fun Lovin’ Criminals here.

(I know they’re from the 90’s, but I couldn’t help myself.)

I heard it’s an avian virus, being spread by a Flock of Seagulls making a Journey across Asia.

They exist!

But [email protected] is correct.

Remember that interviews go both ways. You are trying to see if this company is a place you want to spend half your waking hours. Ask the interviewer where they see themselves in 5 years. Watch their reaction closely. Do they sigh, or hesitate? You might get a telling bit of honesty out of them.

Sick owl:

I always know I’m on Lemmy past my bedtime when I start seeing Dutch posts in the All feed.

Why was someone printing Nicholas Cage? The world may never know.

10/10 very much recommend doing this for your significant other.

Getting an accurate tally of the total number of privately owned guns is hard, but by any measure it’s ridiculously high.

As of 2017, American civilians own 46% (approximately 393.3 million) of the world’s 857 million civilian-use firearms.

Yes, the more rural and conservative states have more guns per capita. But even little New Jersey, with “only” 1.1 guns per 1,000 residents, has over 102k guns in the state. Nobody in the US is lacking for access to firearms.

Both are hosted in Europe.

How so? Masked men grabbed Rumeysa Ozturk off the street, caught on camera and even questioned by passers by. I haven’t seen their identites released, and I don’t see how it will happen unless the federal government wants it to happen.
