    I can see why they need to do it, they apparently only have 4 main mods for the entire server. with the limited mod tools available at the moment that is completely impossible to manage.

    I hope they can get past this hurdle.

      I’ve got to learn Rust like a madman so I can help implement mod tools. That’s honestly the main bottleneck alongside discoverability.

      Elsewhere in the thread right now there’s an open troll. On Reddit you get silenced at -100 karma. What happens on Lemmy? Anything?

        As far as I know there are no automod functions currently, so until a human mod manually deletes or bans that user, it will just stay there.

        Tools will come, the code for the platform is fully open and the API well documented, so it wont be long before large communities can function fully federated with reasonable moderation.

        It doesn’t help that notifications are pretty nonexistent at times. You have to actively go to an instance via browser, or open jerboa to find out anything is going on. Well, I haven’t found any other way to get mod notifications, and I’ve tried a couple of times.

        So, for non admin mods to help out there, they’d have to commit to a higher degree of focus than what most people can offer.
