Interesting. What is really causing the rapid decline in c/reddit@lemmy.world

I don't know the actual numbers but that would only apply if their base of active users has significantly declined

I don't understand what that would have to do with a social media site

You have to at least give them credit for leaving this up in the post - "Due to reddit admins being complete fucking morons"

I vaguely remember the secret santa thing. Could you remind us what that was all about.

This is new. I have never seen this before. Reminds me of mods of groups banning people just because they are subscribed to other groups that those mods don't like. So much for free speech

Have I gone crazy, or did reddit try to implement a modlog feature, and then quietly kill it? in c/reddit@lemmy.world

I have never seen a reddit group that allowed non mods to see the modlog for a group. This ability is a great feature of Lemmy. I've never even read talk of reddit doing it

Looking to see if there is any support for a new Lemmy group that is a good alternative to all the reddit political stuff. (lemmy.world)
 

The group would be for discussion of political topics but without labels. Contributors would not identify as on the left or the right. Simple discussions based on your personal thoughts on issues.

Posts would be both linked articles and your own self posts about an issue. There would be no cries of consider the source. You can post a link from the NY Times or RedState. I'm using those just as examples of what ends discussions because your political affiliation reflexively causes you not to believe a particular source. Something is either true or not and truth is not dependent on the source that raises the issue.

Name calling would not be tolerated. If you rudely call out another contributor you would be banned for one month.

We always talk about those disillusioned with reddit and trying to get them to try Lemmy. I don't remember reddit ever having a successful group to discuss politics that wasn't slanted.

For this to be worth the trouble we will need at least a beginning of at least 10 users that would contribute to the group. And at least a few willing to be mods of the group. The group would be No Labels Politics.

Respond if you are willing to contribute, be a mod or both. And I will set it up.
