Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
So yeah... maybe the turtle slowly waking up that he was just a Laptog for reddit and thrown away as soon as they didnt need him anymore ( moderation is allways a volunteer thing and shouldnt be like a 2nd job ).
Should platforms like kbin/lemmy/etc have limits to how many magazines/categories a single user can moderate?
Wouldn't this just encourage alt accounts to get around the rule? You're only hiding it with sockpuppets instead of allowing it to happen transparently.
I still think it’s a good idea. You can create alts to get around bans for instance, but it’s a powerful mod tool nonetheless. Most people will see the rule and stop there, and if they don’t then it’s a good way to justify an IP ban for repeat offenders.
As an aside, the thought of the kind of person that would break rules so that they can provide extra unpaid labor makes me queasy.
If the admin find out they can then take action
It would still hamper their effectiveness as a powermod even though it won't completely stop them.
You could do it per email address, at least on platforms where your account is tied to one. Doesn't stop it, but if you're only allowed to mod 5 communities, you'd need a lot of sock puppet emails to mod 1000+.
If you own a domain, it's trivial to set up a catch-all redirect to your real email address. I, for example, have this account linked to lemmy_world_grue@example.com. With the maximum length of an email address being 254 characters and the "lemmy_world_" and "@example.com" parts taking up 24 characters, I could create up to 350! - 1 (yes, that's a factorial) more usernames, each linked to a corresponding unique address. (Well, give or take any limits Lemmy imposes on username length, anyway.)
Ban example.com gg ez
Yes , 5 max maybe 10 thats it.
Its not really possible. Just open a new community on another instance
