Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    I am completely appalled at this instance right now for allowing this absolutely vile comment to persist on here

    They’re probably simply overloaded right now. Traffic has shot up several fold over the course of a few days and many of the people don’t understand the rules yet. From my recollection, these sorts of comments would usually be removed fairly promptly. For a comparison of mod teams, /r/moderatepolitics has 18 moderators (plus bots) compared to this community’s 3. Likewise, the instance has 7 moderators.

      Exactly. Removed it now. Sorry for the growing pains.

        As Sphere noted below, an admin removed and then restored that comment. Is this mostly a matter of jurisdiction where admins are trying to leave the operation of communities to community moderators except in cesspool conditions? Having experienced the unpleasantness of Reddit admins undermining my subreddit, I would love to see lemmy.ml not go too far that way.

            Thanks. If you don’t have time, I would understand if you did not.
