Thatâs unfortunate. I mean, letâs acknowledge that admins to an extent need to protect mods, and again that mods do labor for free. Lots of mods do the work they do because they want the communities they cherish to flourish.
But letâs also acknowledge that there is such a thing as user churn and that will ultimately be the downfall of any site. With enough money you can burn through the churn indefinately. Volunteer sites will just disconnect and users will go to the for-profit sites like reddit, causing more users to be tracked, the internet to be more centralized, etc..
I think itâs also worth mentioning that mods can create their own burner accounts and use those to troll users. Mods are also humans and if they want to speak their minds they should be able to do so. But, speaking their minds from a position of power puts them in a different power dynamic from users, which reflects not only on them, but on the community and the instance as a whole.
And then users get to see literal scat porn on the front page from a username like âadmins are assholesâ because a mod wanted troll on main. (edit: this was an actual bit of content I reported not too long ago. maybe it was âmods are assholesâ Iâm not sure, but it was long that vien.)
I can but as a user and not a moderator or admin it wonât make much difference. I also donât expect mods (volunteers with a stack of work to do in front of them) to take the time to understand every user before reporting them, though it would be nice if there were a system that facilitated that!
For example, if users (not just comments) were able to be upvoted/downvoted, they could gain or lose âstandingâ in a community or on an instance. Depending on how much standing they have, their posts / comment would have a visibility in line with their standing. Good standing posts might be promoted slight more than regular posts. Poor standing posts might be shown to users half as much as regular posts. The scope of this would be per community, based on the usersâs interaction with that community and the communityâs opinion of the user.
That way, less of the moderation is placed on the human moderators. Those moderators will still be needed because no automated or crowd-sourced system is perfect but the goal would be to lean on moderators less and less.
No worries. I make the distinction between people referring to me and people agreeing with my self-deprecation in the context of me making a good-faith comment or argument. The former is fine. The later is, well apparently itâs trolling, Iâm learning.
Oh absolutely. Not to mention that if we want to get pedantic and legal, at least for reddit circumventing bans breaks ToS and you canât accept the terms of the site if youâve already been banned from it. Can you technically do it? Yes absolutely. Will your new account be shadowbanned? Probably, but thatâs not to say you couldnât circumvent that as well when creating the account.
Iâm only talking about the rules of one instance here, not the fediverse as a whole. I donât think we should prevent people from creating instances, and I know we donât have the power to do so. Lemmy is open source, so someone could try to sneak in code that would prevent certain instances from being setup, but it probably wonât get accepted and those people could still use an earlier veresion. These are all good, healthy things.
Youâre absolutely correct that a medication isnât going to react the same for every person. People can have weird or even fatal reactions to medications. Any local pharmacist should be able to answer questions about medications and interactions.
To be clear, I am just saying that if adderall works for someone, vyvanse is likely to work for that person as well, because the drugs are so similar. Vyvanseâs biggest difference from adderall is that itâs a prodrug, meaning that starts off as a drug that has no effects on the body until it reacts with an natural enzyme we have in our colon which causes the drug to turn into what is basically adderall.
Adderall is mixed amphetamine salts.
The mixture is composed of equal parts racemic amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which produces a ratio between dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine, the two enantiomers of amphetamine.
Compared to vyvanse:
Lisdexamfetamine is an inactive prodrug that is converted in the body to dextroamphetamine, a pharmacologically active compound which is responsible for the drug's activity.
So technically, Adderall is dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine. I canât speak more to this because of my lack of knowledge but âdextroâ and âlevoâ are ârightâ and âleftâ, basically meaning something like the left and right âversionsâ (wrong word) of the molecule. Vyvanse on the otherhand is just the right âversionâ (wrong word) of the molecule.

Oh look, itâs every startup company.
Because the pope is an abusive leader with no morals.
@jordanlund Unlike the measure you were wrongly claiming would help curb abuse (110), this one would!
whatcha gonna do when they..
