    I love this bit from the article:

    To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, "Busy now, please check back later." (To be fair, in this case "check back later" is a good summary of what happened.)

    Yeah exactly. It does have some features that require integration with the init system, which systemd obviously supports, but it could be used independently of systemd quite happily, and other init systems could easily support those integrations.

    We'll find a way to promote the visibility of the community so that it can start to become a hub. Probably in a list of recommended communities stickied to the front page.

    Hey there lemmings! It's your friendly neighbourhood Sun-Spider here. I recently volunteered as a mod on this community, so I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know my plans. Many of you will have seen that there are a lot of off-topic posts in this community right now. I suspect that new users, especially ones not yet familiar with how Lemmy and the fediverse work, are seeing it as a kind of default community or a place to generally discuss the world of Lemmy. However, as it says in the sidebar, this is a community about the lemmy.world instance specifically. If it's going to serve as that, then it can't be drowned in off-topic posts. To that end, I plan to start going through and removing posts that are not discussing this instance, with two exceptions. Firstly, I know that some of these posts are providing good info to new users coming from Reddit, so I'd like to not take those down just yet. Since this is such a visible community, keeping them has value. Therefore highly upvoted posts that are specifically for newcomers from Reddit may get left. Secondly, I know that removing posts with many upvotes and comments could be seen as overly harsh. While we don't have a karma system here, if you had a post that has done well then suddenly seeing it removed is painful. Therefore if a post is off topic, but is nonetheless highly upvoted, then I may instead simply lock the post. This preserves the content, but prevents further engagement. This should mean that it gradually falls off the front page, whose default sort is Active. ## TLDR - Posts that are not about the lemmy.world instance specifically will be removed, with the following exceptions: - Some posts providing value to new users will be left - Some posts with high engagement may be simply locked ## Update Check out the new communities [!newcomers@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/newcomers) and [!general@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/general)! These are intended to be a good home for a lot of the content that's getting removed/locked.

    Hey there. This instance currently follows the code of conduct and rules for mastodon.world: https://mastodon.world/about

    Discussion and civil criticism of these subjects is allowed, but name calling, ad hominem attacks, and other uncivil behaviour breaks the rules.

    Also remember that specific communities here may have additional rules.

    It looks like we can't pin comments yet, so apologies if this reply gets buried. For now I'm going to lock this post, as the discussion has degraded and is full of rule-breaking.

    That's so cool! They only appear very briefly, but I immediately went away and looked them up. I didn't know about them before! I have a favourite uncle with a spinal injury who's mostly in a wheelchair, but can get around on crutches, so I immediately felt connected to the character. I'm a huge fan of more disabled representation.

    Ja en nee. Ik was in Nederland geboren, en de plan van mijn ouders was om Nederlands buiten de huis te praten, en Engels binnen. Maar dan verhuisde we weg van Nederland en daarna was de gewoonte van Engels te praten ingebakken, en dus had ik de taal een beetje vergeten. Ik was ook nooit so goed met het als Engels. Dat vind ik een beetje zielig, en dus wil ik oefenen!

    En weet je, dit is al heel goed voor me. Ik kon bijna dit hele commentaar schrijven zonder hulp van en vertalinger!
