Thanks, we’ll keep track of what they are doing.

I misphrased, they are an Admin/Op, and essential.

would it be enough to have those rules in place, and when reported actively remove the content as a mod?

We’re pretty good with daily moderating of content on futurology.today, so I’d be confident we could cover that aspect.

However I’m wondering about federation issues. Are we liable for UK users who use their futurology.today account to access other instances we don’t mod?

the problem is that the guidance is too large and overbearing.

This.

Who gets to decide what “self-harm” is? There’ll be some busybodies who’ll say that any remotely positive messaging for LGBTQ youth is ‘self-harm’ for them.

When might it integrate Lemmy?

I’d love to have more Mastodon stuff in my lemmy feed. Shame its virtually impossible as far as I can see. Do you have any idea when lemmy devs might change this?

incoming reddit users could be a huge benefit (familiarity) And maybe add those options (a. & old.) on the side panel with a link for tutorials how to use Lemmy and its apps

Yes, I’ve been thinking about how to make it as simple as possible to understand for reddit users. Where we explained it here, is an attempt to reduce things to the simplest language - https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/15pbknv/do_you_have_some_time_to_take_a_look_at/

Thank you. This is very helpful. Someone else questioned why we are even using email verification as they said few other instances are using it.

We’d assumed it was important from the perspective of bots, trolling, spam, etc But it seems to be at the root of the problems we’ve been having.

In fairness, I can see why the accusation of being spammy is justified. But to address the issue of scamminess - Although we don’t mention the site address yet, here’s it being talked about by the Mod Team on r/futurology
