Thank you very much for looking into it! Hope it works out well.

Edit: damn I just noticed I make some walls of text, so: TLDR: I prefer no bot posts, but I understand why they are there.

I would like for it not to be bots doing these posts, I dont really like seeing so many posts with 0 comments.

The best solution would be to make it so that people posts the chapters so that it guarantees there will always be interactions and at least a comment by the poster. But as @[email protected] says, people probably wont be bothered to make such posts and that is probably true so its a big point against the idea of complete removal. (Although I dont really see a reason to worry too much about format and timing, its not like there is rules on the matter for the first and for timing if people already read it they can still talk about it)

The second best solution IMO is keep the bot, but if possible restrict it to what people are actually reading weekly, so that there will always be at least a comment. I just dont think the size of this community allows to have this kinds of posts allows for having lots of posts.

I dont really like the idea of expanding it even more, most people arent reading more than a few series weekly and with the number of users participating daily here (about 25) there is no way we can sustain that, it will just fill the feed with content that no one pays attention to. Of course one can simply say we dont need interactions on each post, just the opportunity is enough and if it doesnt happen there then its not a big deal. But at least to me it gives ghost town vibes, it doesnt feel good to look at the sub and see how nobody interacts. If anything I would prefer that we increase the user made content and diversify a bit from chapter specific discussions which, while cool when people actually have something to say and discuss, dont feel good when nobody is reading.

Be the change you want to see in the world!

Also sub to smaller and more contrnt specific instances? Personally I have been having fun interacting with communities from my hobbies (most specifically manga) and at the end of the day that's what matters most.

But they bought that one, we don't really have examples of meta doing EEE right? (Since 90% of those come from Microsoft and Bill Gates shuitty brain)

I don't mind reading about reddit on the reddit community, but the fact people can't shut up in non related communities annoys me to no end, the circlejerking is insane.

It's like, people go to asklemmy and ask "don't you feel this is so MUCH better than reddit, people are way nicer and have higher IQ", like dude come on.

Also another one is people bashing reddit for no reason, like a post that said that reddit doesn't respect free speech and showed a threat lf deleted comments with no context, as if that was a bad act in itself some people talk about moderation as if it was a bad thing done over in the bad reddit

I also vote yes, it is better to not be needlessly stringent with this stuff as to not stiffle dialogue, I feel allowing them would make for far more interesting content and since communities are too small right now we don't need useless fractioning and divides, people with a similar hobby need a place to talk and let that be here.

Just so I understand, blocking an instance:

Does:

• block people from that instance from interactinh with yours
• blocks people from your own indtance being able to search theirs
• blocks communities from that instance to appear on /all

It doesn't:

• Block comments if done on non blockef instance
• Block posts if done on non blocked instance

Is that right? I was under the impression that defederating would block them completely, as that is how it worked over at mastodon, if it doesn't that seems like a serious oversight.

Jaja I can't really go for it myself, I do need for the post to be pinned.

I did do a post about this 3 or 4 days ago, but it became buried quickly, although some people did participate. But it needs to be pinned, it's one of the most important parts

No no, socialims is when I have two cows and the government eats one of them (or something like that, I didn't advance much in my theory)

Did it do something?

If you encountered a community like that, maybe they needed those, there is a reason they are there and people keep posting.

For the immaculate example, see r/askhistorians where I guarantee your answers will get removed even when properly sourced since it has to do with how tight their quality control is, which that was needed to make one of the best communities out there.

Rules are not a reddit especific thing, once communities grow bigger over here more and more will develop and perfect rules that better suit their identities, it is a necessary part of this kind of social media.

Your post kindd of reminds me of another post today where someone pointed out at 4 deleted comments, with no context and basically said "reddit doesn't respect freedom of speech, see how far mods have fallen since the blackouts" which was useless circlejerking, communities are no different that subreddits in that particular sense, moderation and rules will still be present here, a mod deleting your post has nothing to do with them being on reddit or not.

Not saying you are wrong, since it is currently imposible to do here, but I don't think the federated nature of usernames has anything yo do with if they receive a notification or bot since over at mastodon you can tag people properly and they are notified.
