Thanks for your comment! Mod who made the decision here.

The reasoning behind the decision was more or less as follows:

• The user had no previous history of contributions (posts or comments) to the community
• No part of the user’s comment indicated that they had read the article they were commenting on
• It seemed as though their comment was simply an emotional response to the article title containing the phrase “Falcon 9”
• Other users who have left comments of similar tone in the past tend not to be valuable contributors to communities

And yeah, by this point, everyone knows “Elon bad”. But stating the obvious doesn’t contribute anything useful to spaceflight discussion.

And in contrast to another launch earlier in the day, none of the SRBs sh*t themselves! :)

Signal is an open-source, encrypted messaging service for instant messaging, voice calls, and video calls

It is developed by the nonprofit Signal Foundation and its subsidiary Signal Messenger LLC. Signal’s software is free and open-source. Its mobile clients, desktop client, and server are all published under the AGPL-3.0-only license

I finally got my parents onto it, and have been pretty happy with it as an alternative to Facebook Messenger.

No that’s the Loop. No one has built a hyperloop yet, beyond a few short test tracks.

Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions, or if there is any way I might able to help out.

I kinda wish we’d merge them… which I know goes against the grain of how the fediverse is supposed to operate.

Not necessarily:

One of the advantages of a decentralized platform like Lemmy is the ability to create parallel communities on the same topic. “You don’t like how a community is being moderated? Go to another instance and start your own community!” (with or without blackjack and hookers)

However, this is a double-edged sword. The creation of multiple communities on the same (or similar) topics can also fragment the userbase, leading to very sparsely populated communities.

I think it only makes sense to have multiple communities on the same topic if each version serves a specific niche or has a unique moderation style. I think most of the examples you’ve given would be suitable for consolidation into two or three communities.

What are your thoughts?

!guitars@lemmy.world

Would you consider making a consolidation post in !fedigrow@lemmy.zip?

We have a pinned guide with step-by-step instructions.

You should be able to post to !india@piefed.social from your sh.itjust.works account. Have you tried that?

• !blender@sopuli.xyz
• !blender_3D_animation@lemmy.ml
• !blenderanimation@programming.dev
• !blender@kbin.social (RIP)
• !blender_channel@video.blender.org

Perhaps some consolidation might be warranted here?

Are you aware that lemm.ee shut down? Any communities will need to be recreated on another instance.

I left Reddit voluntarily during the 2023 APIcalypse. Still use my account occasionally to promote the fediverse to those who are still there.

Why? Wouldn’t there still be one original wish left, which could be duplicated?

Came here to post this.
