1. Invite a lefty mod to moderate the leftists commenting in bad faith (I have someone in mind for this). I’m doing this because my bad-faith-o-meter is completely broken for lefties.

  2. Grow a pair, and start moderating properly. Yes there will be borderline cases, that’s the hard part. No more ignoring “a short drop and a quick stop” because it doesn’t have a keyword in it. ( I got so many reports on that one, and eventually an admin from another instance stepped in. )

  3. Implement proper mod rules. Things such as “Always send a message or a comment reply when taking an action, because lemmy doesn’t do that and having to check mod logs is bad ux” and “on the first instance of a rule breaking comment, warn and let them edit their comment, because removing a comment is effectively the same as deleting and they can’t edit a removed comment” I’ll probably fuck up at some point, but damn it I’m trying.

  4. Try and make peace with lemmy.world because somehow lemmy.world blocked this sub without defeding from lemm.ee (No seriously, check out this link, https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]) I’m also banned from lemmy.world, never got a message about either, but that’s a bit off topic.

  5. Get rid of rule 3, The one about the keywords “Nazi” and “Fascist” being not allowed. The bad-faith rule should cover what rule 3 was trying to do, but better.

    Seems sensible but I feel doubtful that lemmy.world can be talked into to changing their minds. Maybe it’s not worth worrying about them.

    Seems like a good idea to get someone to help with moderation, and it makes sense to choose someone that can provide a different perspective. The hard part is choosing someone trustworthy that will help instead of adding complication.
