Inactive mods? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Spacebar@lemmy.world to c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world
 

I moderate the /c/stopdrinking community. The person who created it didn't want to mod, and so I volunteered. Now the creator has gone inactive and hasn't been around for for 4 days.

I'd like to update the sidebar, etc, but only the creator seems to be able to do that.

What happens if he never comes back? If he can eventually be removed, what would be a reasonable amount of time to wait?

In the meantime, can an Admin change the sidebar text for me?

Now the creator has gone inactive and hasn't been around for for 4 days.

Question from someone who might want to start a couple of magazines/communities: Is being away for four days long enough to be considered inactive?

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

No, it shouldn't be, many people have commitments and as long as there is a mod active then the community is being covered.

This is the second post I've seen on the matter today and it's disappointing that we are already seeing people trying to assure they are the King of their little domain.

I was tired of these politics in Reddit and I'm not eager to continue seeing it here.

[–] Spacebar@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I just want someone to add a proper description. I'm sorry if that's me trying to become a king of some little domain.

People really ascribe the worst to things sometimes.

[–] jgrim@discuss.online 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You'll have to ask a site admin like @ruud@lemmy.world

[–] Spacebar@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How? Do I just message them?

[–] a_crappy_pirate@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

he should have just been pinged by that comment, but i'll do it from the world instance just in case

hey @ruud there's a community where the top mod has gone inactive and the next person wants to do some changes but can't. could you please help? cheers

[–] Spacebar@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In case Rudd sees this, I'd like the new sidebar to read:

"This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down. Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile."

What's there isn't very helpful.

[–] SpezCanLigmaBalls@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been sober since January 2nd and the creator asked for mods because he made it when he wasn't sober and I messaged him I'd be a mod but he never replied. I was active on the subreddit

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I sent a message to the mod because spacebar shows up as a bot on my browser. I think we need Ruud’s help.

[–] assbutt@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What basis do you have for this? What do you mean "shows up as a bot"? Their history is no more suspect than your own, there's just less of it.

I wish everyone would just chill with this shit. It's been a week, we don't need hall monitors yet.

[–] Spacebar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jeezo, I just want to update the community description.

No offence, but you come across as a bit stressed.

[–] assbutt@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This person is claiming you are a bot, and I am asking for evidence to support the accusation. There is nothing deeper here, but thanks for the diagnosis I guess.

Don't mistake colorful language for ire. Just because I said "shit" doesn't mean I'm upset. Imagine The Dude is reading my comment to you with a joint in the corner of his mouth; that's closer to the tone I had in my head (and it's not far off from the truth lol). It's all good, homie πŸ€™

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It shows up on the desktop at work which is Edge browser next to username. But not on mobile safari. ___

[–] assbutt@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So you blindly trust your browser rather than doing any investigation of your own? Maybe glance at the person’s profile next time, see if they behave like a bot before calling them out lol

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I did and some of the post don’t add up either.

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did read their posts and some don’t jive. Also if browsers are mislabeling users, that’s another issue.

[–] assbutt@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Since when does Edge flag bots? I legitimately have no idea what you're talking about. I can't find any information about anything that sounds even remotely close to a baked-in bot flagger in Microsoft Edge.

You said your work computer, do you know what extensions might be installed?

[–] Odo@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemmy has an option to mark an account as a bot under user settings, OP had a bot icon next to their username on all of their posts with a message that said the account was a bot. They have since disabled that setting for their account, so it no longer shows up, but you can see how someone could have jumped to the conclusion that the account was a bot (this icon won't show up on all Lemmy UIs, it's missing from the mobile website/Jerboa app, but it's shown on desktop). Anyway, no need to use such incendiary language, you may not be angry but it can easily come off as that over text.

[–] Dandroid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think you replied to the wrong comment.

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It shows up on edge browser next to username which is at work today. But not on mobile safari. Might be a glitch?

[–] miked@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Sending an email to info@lemmy.world creates a ticket. Ruud got back to me slightly after 24 hours.

[–] WolfhoundRO@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Seems like the creator went drinking

[–] phil299@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Good question , hopefully someone will know cos I ain't got clue

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Username says you are a bot.

[–] Spacebar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My bot checkbox is unchecked. Am I still a bot?

[–] Skullfurious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't see it. Was it checked before ?

[–] Trekman10@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Reach out to the Admins of the instance the community is located on?

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 year ago

You can always make the same community on a different instance.
