I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

    I think it would be helpful if people (who are knowledgeable about the topic) can link to sources about why a post is wrong/misinformation. The mod is more likely to act on the report if they can quickly verify the content.

    I say this as an admin that can see the reports go by, but it often isn’t my place to take action since the report is about something that the community moderators would need to decide on.

    I found this post because someone reported it as “lies”. If I was a mod in this community, I would need to hunt through the comment chains to figure out what the problem is, and right now there is only one or two comments explaining the problem. For this specific post, the mod could also look up the quote, find matching photos, and verify that the other monument hasn’t been torn down recently. However, it’s not always that easy.

    It would also be good for users to delete their own posts when something is wrong, or at the very least to edit the title with added context.












  • Hanneke Faber became CEO of Logitech on December 1, 2023, after leaving her role as group president at Unilever. Since joining the Swiss peripheral manufacturer, Faber has attracted attention for her unconventional ideas about how personal technology should evolve – often with a focus on benefiting shareholders and companies first.

    Faber is now best known for proposing the so-called “Forever Mouse” concept – a device with constantly evolving firmware features built on base hardware that customers would purchase only once. According to Faber, users would happily pay monthly or annual subscriptions to access these software-based upgrades. However, no concrete business plans have yet been announced to bring the idea to market.

    Regarding pricing, the CEO compared the mouse to a Rolex watch and the software to Logitech’s video conferencing business. A paid subscription is possible, but Faber offered no further details.

  • Ah, I can see how the ‘name’ field can be misinterpreted. That was supposed to be the short name of the community, and it will appear in the URL. Unfortunately, that field can’t be changed after the community as been created. Even if we mess with the database on lemmy.ca, it might show up incorrectly elsewhere.

    Since the community is just starting out, the easiest would be to make a new one with the name that you want.

    There are also a few other communities that you might enjoy:

    It’s totally up to you if you want to post in those or if you want to build your own community. If you want to build your own, you can also cross post to / from these communities to help it grow.
