Good to see BOFH is staying busy

That’s really great! I look forward to it

Currently banned users cannot vote in the community

My main issue is if you ban somebody from a community, it goes into the mod log, kind of like that person’s permanent record. It’s harsh to ban somebody for just voting negativity

As somebody who moderates health and diet communities, yes these community tools are absolutely required.

Especially with respect to voting, there needs to be an

• option for a community to not go to the all feed if requested
• option to only allow subscribers to vote
• ability that doesn’t require a ban, but to unsubscribe someone from the community,
• require people to have accounts of a certain age, or certain level of participation in Lemmy, or in a community, before being able to post or vote
• remove a user from a community if they only have negative interaction with the community, like only down votes

Right now it’s very difficult for small communities to get started unless they’re loved by the current population of lemmy. Which means it’s going to be difficult to bring other groups here.

I think it’s critical for the growth of Lemmy that there are genuinely opt-in communities.

I think the philosophy needs to take into account that people want to make a community to talk about a subject, sometimes they want to talk about the subject in detail, and not just hold a general referendum on the popularity of the subject for the Lemmy as a whole.

Imagine star trek fans downvote everything from star wars, and vice versa. If someone comes along to make a community for snow speeder project building… They’re going to have a bad time, all the Star trek fans will downvote and chill participation. We need these super small interest communities to grow to attract a broader population

So if the computer is in a boot loop, it’s a self fixing problem?

You can structure the corporate governance of a company so it’s hard to identify the owner. Especially if we’re talking about companies registered in favorable jurisdictions

its not the same problem, now anyone who wants to know who you are has to pierce the corporate vale. If the holding corporation is incorporated in a friendly jurisdiction, then you have extra big steps toe pierce the corporate vale (Malta, Kit Neives, Bermuda, etc)

Setup a corporation to own the asset, and list the corporate contacts for the whois information

So when a new computer boots on your network, it talks to the active directory cluster, then downloads and runs Ansible to do the configuration?

Sounds amazing

Make a list of your priorities, do them in order, what doesn’t get done doesn’t get done don’t worry about it. That’s why you have a priority list. As long as you communicate to stakeholders and get agreement on the priority order, then nobody has room to argue.

Schedule a block of time per day where you can’t be interrupted so you can get your hyperfocus in. Don’t eat into your personal time for this focus time.

What’s important is not always urgent, and what’s urgent is not always important.

Answering the phone is urgent, it’s ringing right now, but when you answer it it’s a telemarketer - it’s not important. A lot of life is like this.
