Server Owner Spits Their Dummy Out Over Being Downvoted, Locks Post When People Call Them Out
(lemmy.world)
This unfolded on "United States | News & Politics@midwest.social". Owner 'seahorse' showing the kind of person they are.
This is not how you run a server.
Edit: link to comment:
I'm not saying that admins don't require control. What I'm saying is that there isn't an ability to distribute admin and mod duties on Lemmy in a more granular sense. There is only one admin head or one mod head and that can lead to mod issues the same that Reddit had.
I suppose this could be improved, but not sure how exactly. Afaik there is no issue about this yet, and anyway we lack development resources to implement everything. Sometimes I imagine how much we could achieve if Lemmy had 2000 employees like Reddit.
There have been issues with it, with don't somewhat popular instances becoming ghost towns because of admin actions. Part of the problem is that Lemmy out of the box doesn't really allow for anything other than one benevolent dictator.
This is open source. There should be a published plan on development and a call for help to the community. If development can't transfer to a model where multiple groups develop different parts of the development plan, Lemmy isn't going to be able to grow.
We will soon get a new round of funding from NLnet, once that is finalized we will publish a blog post with the milestones.
