Yeah a bit but it’s getting better. Early days and all that.

Jokes on you, I’ve been here a while
Been using it today and so far so good. Looking forward to improvements with the commenting UI and some more sort options like Top Day from the ‘official’ Lemmy web client.
Edit: would be good to be able to edit stuff too.
But they’ll have to draw them first
For any dairy intolerant or vegan people here you can get a similar effect by clarifying a vegetable spread like Flora and adding salt until it tastes ‘buttery’ enough for you
UK checking in here - straight from the tap is perfectly safe. I still put it through a filter though because I like the taste and it makes me feel fancy.
Your argument boils down to 'my towel is on the deck chair so tough'. The opinion of other people in this thread is largely that it would be really nice to live in a world where we don't have to have pool attendants that go around taking towels off deck chairs when they've been left unattended for 30 minutes.
To be fair to you - you did get there first and claim the name and so have a lot of the say on the community's future. What I'd say in response is that if you really want to keep the community here on this instance you'd be best off making it active and healthy as opposed to dormant. Either the community will be removed so someone else can claim the name, or someone that really wants a community with the same name will just create one on a different instance and then you're back to square one with the name poach fears anyway.
TL;DR: Shit or get off the pot, bro :)
I know ultimately the power rests with the instance owner and they have the ability to do whatever they fancy, but as things grow I worry about the escalating admin burden placed on them without any sort of automation in place to help out. I'm making some assumptions here, but right now I think instance owners either need to be hyper vigilant for this sort of stuff, or have it pointed out to them (which comes with it's own can of worms like being flooded with messages or people reporting mods for bad reasons).
I think ideally there will be a tool one day that instance owners can set some thresholds in that alerts them to this kind of thing so that they can take action as and when needed, rather than by report or request.
Right now I guess it's up to @tom what happens.
I suppose this kind of thing was inevitable, which is why we have domain registrars to arbitrate on the internet.
This never even occurred to me as a thing to be worried about. What a lame thing to be doing.
Maybe when Lemmy is more developed as a platform there will be a way for instance owners to remove mods that haven't been active in X days? Perhaps when that threshold has been reached there could be some mechanism that opens up and allows people to send a de-mod request to an instance owner.
Or do we just need an internal investigations department for community owners?
I'm super behind the idea of UBI, but I don't think two test sets of only 15 people is really gonna tell us much other than '30 people have been given a pay rise'.
We really need to answer questions like:
- How will the market react? Do we need to put in some sort of legislation to stop price hikes if everyone has more disposable income?
- Do we need to set certain 'essential' goods and services to a certain price to match the UBI payment?
- How does this effect the UK's standing in the global economy?
To answer this we need a way bigger test population, like a whole town or a county.
Super fun game, definitely worth the £12 or whatever I paid.
