deleted by creator

Indeed I was able to restore their comments. However, it was somewhat of a fluke that I saw what happened.

I agree that their comments should be deleted automatically, however I did not like the message their comments were replaced with because it implies I banned them. It would also be nice if moderators and admin of other instances could at least be notified. If the user has written a really useful answer to a question or a how to guide then that could disappear forever. Someone else in this thread stated that the comments should be deleted forever. I really don’t like the idea of someone having the ability to delete things completely off of my server.

I own !dullsters@dullsters.net and mod !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world so that wouldn’t be allowed.

It looks like they had been banned from a community a week and a half ago and then banned completely yesterday. I can’t find any other bans.

They certainly had a lot of political hot takes, some popular some not. Account was a month old, so they may be a ban evader.

I did find this comment, but again, I can’t tell what it’s in referrence to.

My mindset is that if they’re following the rules of my communities what they do outside of those communities is their own business.

My communities are a place for people to post their shared experiences. The more people can humanize each other, the less they will act out.

If you have access to Kanopy they have a few of his films available.

This is the guide I used, it’s pretty automatic with ansible.

I’m not too worried about it.

It costs me less than $10/mo to run mine and some of that is because I have to pay for an email forwarder until my hosting provider lets me start sending emails, part of that is factoring the cost of the domain name. The actual cloud server costs $5/mo right now.

The best idea I can come up with is a federated marketplace. Each vendor has their own instance. Buyers can browse the marketplace and have a unified checkout experience. Vendors would have unified product posts so whichever vendor has the best price or fastest shipping (user preference) would get the sale. USPS for example has shipping zones which determine the price for shipping depending on distance.

The best example I can come up with is rockauto. They are a central marketplace of different auto parts suppliers. You can find parts that are in the same location in order to combine shipping.

If you put a part in your cart it will then show parts that are in the same warehouse.

Bittorrent is federated streaming video before it was cool.

If you have a network of paricipating stores, then they can agree to take each others physical returns and inspect them.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Either way the content will go onto their server because of federation. It eliminates some workload from those admins if the small instance is actively modderating.

The point is more federation, not less. Decentralizing prevents any big rifts in the fediverse from fracturing the community.

Well please come share your dull experiences at both if you like. The original community gets about a dozen posts per week, sundays are generally the most “busy” people like picture posts a lot.

I’m not sure if that has changed. I navigated to dull mens club with my account on the new instance. It automatically put dull mens club on my frontpage without me subscribing to it and a bunch of instances showed up as federated.

I’m not doing any users or subscribing to any communities, just hosting a community. Should be pretty chill.
