I mod a few popular communities, and it’s pretty chill (mostly because they’re not really controversial spaces). I also run a fairly niche community alone, and It’s only as stressful as you make it. If popularity explodes, getting more mods on board will help you.

I say go for it. Sticky a post asking for more mods if you need to.

Lemmy is for the most part a more mellow place than reddit, so I think you’ll be fine.

If it wasn’t for a certain south African man child, I would have called myself a free speech absolutist.

I believe that free speech is a vital component of a healthy democracy. And as it is the most fragile one that is easy to take away, it’s also among the most important ones.

But like any other tool, it can be abused. Of course freedom of expression is not the same as freedom from consequence, and certain things should therefore be illegal. Exactly what should be, and the definition of such, needs to be determined by some of ne smarter than I.

For example, stochastic terrorism should not be legal, but that’s a very Grey area that can be very prone to abuse - Who determines what is and isn’t stochastic terrorism?

Bring it, bitch. We all know TACO.

That fatso could have joined in CJ building his empire, but he sold out for hamberders.

Alright then, dear trusted canopener: We have a mission to perform at the other end.

Reddit is unusable without 3rd party apps. I used Joey for as long as it worked, and Lemmy seemed to be among the platforms frequently mentioned as an alternate. When Joey no longer worked, I deleted my reddit account and moved here permanently.

For content that lowers the quality of the fediverse. Misinformation, reposts, bad faith actors, etc.

NB: I have no reasonable argument for why this would be therapeutic, I just think it’d be an interesting read.

Write something fictional about what scares you, but from the point of view of the scary thing.

Scared of spiders? A story about a spider just doing it’s usual before suddenly stumbling upon a godzillesque creature of deafening screams that attacks the protagonist with a shoe.

Scared of rejection? Write a story about someone doing the rejecting, and how conflicting it feels.

Scared of water? A story about a crab who’s sick of hoomans crashing through his ceiling when he’s trying to chill in peace.

As a mod, I usually have some restraint regarding bans, but blatant violations such as CP or spam are basically just down to awareness and reaction.

I mod a few popular communities, and I haven’t seen CP yet. It’s mostly the occasional spam and people who are still incapable of self regulating.

I’ll show myself out…

They’re very much 64bit, as they’re avoiding unity all together. The standard framework of actors and scenes don’t really work for a game at that scale, so they decided to roll their own, and they’re calling it the Brutal Framework “because it’s quite brutal to work with”.

So far the result is really impressive looking, and since there aren’t many layers of abstraction to work via, the performance is pretty impressive too.

Yeah, KSP2 was botched on so many levels, primarily by Take2.

Looking forward to seeing what comes out of KSA, though. With many of the old devs and modders of KSP1 on board it looks like they have a good start.

They move in ellipses on earth as well, but it’s cut short by hitting the ground. Also, air resistance affects the trajectory so that anything thrown/shot will eventually return.

Not often, but it happens sometimes, usually early before getting out of bed.

I travel a lot as part of my job, I’ve been to 27 countries, and lived long-term in three of them.

When out and about, upon waking up from my alarm I sometimes have to orient myself and remember where I am and why.

I’d mostly keep quiet, but try to position myself in a way that would likely net a significant inheritance at some point.

Other than that, it doesn’t really change much: My genetic origin may be different than what I thought, but my parents never changed.
