Hello c/TIL! As you may have noticed from the fancy “A” next to his name on his posts around Lemmy, our fearless leader AvaddonLFC is now an Administrator, which means he can no longer be part of our moderation team. I have agreed to take over his communities because I believe in what we’ve all been building together as a group. There will be no changes to the current rules or moderators, though you may see some new faces that were already chosen to join the team.
If you have any feedback on our rules or just want to tell us how much you’ll miss AvaddonLFC, this is the place to do it. (Don’t worry, I can take it!)
I am grateful to AvaddonnLFC for taking over this community and inviting me to join him as a moderator, and to my fellow mods (and hopefully the community) for sticking with me through this change!
Thanks! I looked at our recent posts and I do see that those with source links tend to be more upvoted and spark more discussion, but I don’t think the community is busy enough to make it a rule just yet. I am happy to note in the sidebar that citing sources is likely to help your post become more popular, though.
My concern is more to prevent some trolls from just making up fictional or even misleading “facts” to post here.
That is a concern, and we do occasionally remove posts that are clearly not factual.
