Okay, so you’re saying its best to just have moderators you trust as people so they can make swift decisions, otherwise it just becomes impractical. If people don’t like it, they should migrate to a community with different moderators.

In that case I’d say it’s a little over a pair of floopdiflaps

I don’t know. It was something experimental.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius might help. It’s a bit hard to judge without knowing more about your situation.

You could also look into mindfulness. When I feel rushed by my internal monkey drive and I am tired of it, I just slow down. More and more, gradually. If it doesn’t go away I’ll simply stop what I am doing. I’ll just sit down on a chair lol. Trust me that drive will die down and that will give you space to live. Just want to do my darn dishes in peace!

Hey I’m developing something related but I have no extensive experience moderating. Any advice I can note?

Whatsapp is difficult for me to avoid, but I’ve been pulling it off for years now.

Honestly here in the NL it’s almost as if people see it as some sort of government institution. We have neighborhood watches on there and they openly display the logo as a form of security measure. Honestly it’s kinda creepy that that kinda stuff flows through their opaque servers and software.

I’d prefer an open and distributed protocol, with the largest node being government run. You can’t avoid such large nodes, so it’s better if they are run by a centralized democratic system. Aka @gmail.com, Lemmy.ml, mastadon.social (did I get that right?)

It’s cheaper too, over here at least. I need to pay 18 euros to get what I want, and it isn’t uncommon to be treated disrespectfully.

Whereas a really good fish and chips is like 11 euros here and you can have a fun little chat with the owner or whatever.
