  • Thanks so much for sharing!!

    He was so young when he acquired the throne, 20 years old!

    The photographer, Daniel Lane did a series of photos of african kings. https://twistedsifter.com/2012/07/kings-of-africa-portraits-by-daniel-laine/

    For those interested some of the highlights of the enduring political system of the Kuba Kingdom:

    State Centralization: The Kuba Kingdom was able to establish a more centralized and organized state than many other independent villages or chieftaincies in the region.

    **Complex Institutions:**The kingdom had a range of political and social institutions, including an unwritten constitution, separation of political powers, a judicial system with courts and juries, a police force, a military, and a system of taxation.

    Cultural Impact: The very fact that the Kuba Kingdom’s institutions have had long-term effects on cultural norms, as indicated by the text, speaks to the power and influence that this kingdom had. This can be seen as positive in the sense that the Kingdom left a lasting legacy. https://www.jstor.org/stable/44955153

    I needed an objective answer to “down brigading”. I have enough common sense to know the community topic is inherently contrarian, and predisposed to downvotes if it was sorting by all and new. The scenario of people disagreeing and downvoting, was also my natural conclusion. I’ve been working on other development/ server projects to contribute to the fediverse that are technical and it’s a learning curve.

    This question was minor, but I had a panic button moment of “ what on earth did I miss now!? Did I miss something on the documentation for the moderation log!?”

    Every interaction I’ve had on Lemmy has been extremely positive. But I’d be an idiot to not automatically think it’s the content of the community, duh.

    It was fine you took the community topic into context, but you didn’t need to be rude, the cursing I don’t think helps in the support part in the name of the community we are talking in right now. For what it’s worth, being rude and adding unsolicited commentary is outdated.

    Thank you for the actual helpful part of “there is nothing to worry about on the backend, carry on.”

    Edit: I was too “apologetic girl “ in my first reply, New Year’s resolution to not always add “lol” and unnecessary “sorrys”



  • Yes we are absolutely being downvoted disproportionately.

    So far I’ve removed comments, it’s available in the mod log. The rules in the sidebar are I believe are clear unless you have any suggestions to add.

    Thank you so much for bringing it up, it helps from someone other than myself :)

    But I’ve never moderated a subreddit myself, if it’s bots or people. If the former I can check, if the latter I don’t know any other recourse other than can others please contribute to the community so that the group goes on it own, rather than just bait for those who, just don’t like it.

    Edit: asked the support community for lemmy and they mostly agree it’s just the content.
