You’re all good, no worries.

Antik is one of the admins of lemmy.world. He holds administrative authority over the entire forum rather than being specifically involved as a moderator here. He could have removed the comment himself, but he chose to request you change it instead (which I would have also done, had he not already handled it).

As a moderator of this community, I’d like to express our shared sentiment. The use of the term “retard” as an insult is something we discourage. Its appropriateness in language has evolved over time, and it’s increasingly considered inappropriate due to its derogatory associations, regardless of its original meaning. Language is subject to change, and words that were once commonplace are regularly perceived as offensive now. Regardless of personal views on the word, if the admins have deemed it unsuitable for use on this platform, it’s something that we will also enforce.

There is an abundance of other words that effectively convey your message.

Not great, but good enough to check out.

This seems to be the floor for Apple TV shows, with the ceiling being “this is absolutely incredible”. The quality of their shows (again, from the floor) is really only challenged by HBO

Severance is my favorite show that I’ve watched in the past year or two, S1 was incredible

The bot should handle it. It’s scheduled to post a weekly thread every Sunday at 12AM EST, this Sunday would be the first if it works

Just getting back to you, one of the mods from another community I mod, c/news is setting up the newsautomod bot to get it going.

Yes, I’ll try to get one of the bots from my other communities set up here

Added you!

Not much at this point, honestly, but the site admins would like me to add moderators, especially from other timezones.

In this instance, in particular, I can say I have had to moderate exactly zero things. Basically, just check the new feed occasionally to make sure everything being posted is relevant to the instance (i.e. pictures, not memes, not politically fueled photos, not shitposts etc.). If a report comes in check it out and clear it, but overall there isn’t too much moderating to do here.

Added you

Because the way communities came to be moderated on Reddit created horrible echo chambers between banning people for disagreeing views or forcing their own opinions/views down people’s throats via content removal, I wanted to grab them before the same terrible mods from Reddit did.

> You are moderating both “Democrat” and “Republican”… lol…

It’s almost like you don’t have to have entirely one-sided views and can moderate content without bias and without creating hate-filled echo chambers.

If you’d like to participate in either of those feel free to ask, I’m not here to “power trip”.

I am currently the only moderator, I don’t want to spam my own posts to any community though. I would rather them develop on their own and hope the community and posts come/grow organically.
