So if r/gunners were to maliciously comply with the Reddit overlords as a protest, would the subreddit vote to post sexy Wenger pics instead of John Oliver? πŸ€”

[–] Astrealix 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

@EFG should consider this tbh

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

@Astrealix @MHPengwingz @EFG alternatively, sexy pictures of Hector Bellerin. There would be more variety if nothing else πŸ˜†β€‹

(edit) copying EFG

[–] MHPengwingz 3 points 2 years ago

Oooh that's a good one.

[–] MHPengwingz 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah but I doubt our brethren would vote for it, "iT dOesN't CoNceRn me AnD I nEeD the kArMa fRoM mY cLickbAit transfer post! This is stupid!"

I actually think it's pretty cool the other subs are doing it, spez isn't going to do anything but at least it floods Reddit with stuff they can't actually sell to data miners.

[–] ironeaglebird 7 points 2 years ago

Lemmy turned out to be a pretty good alternative. Reddit is only going to keep getting worse.

I am actually enjoying the lack of a karma system on Lemmy and the absence of data miners too.

[–] I_am_the_grass 4 points 2 years ago

Yea, I think this whole fiasco has shown which mods have the balls to stand up for what they believe in and which ones crumble because they want to hold on to their little Internet power. I think Moist Critical said it best in his YouTube video - some mods folded so quickly as soon as it seemed like their subs might get taken away.

[–] Astrealix 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Side note but how do you actually ping people on this lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

@Astrealix I believe it’s their username followed by @ and then the instance they are on. Not going to actually tag them but I think it would be @ EFG @ Lemmy.world

[–] Astrealix 3 points 2 years ago

Might as well tag them then lol @EFG@[email protected] Sexy wenger pics for the win

[–] I_am_the_grass 2 points 2 years ago

Yea, it's a bit janky on the apps but in desktop it auto fills it for you hence why you see inconsistent tagging.

I'm an unpaid forum janitor? Nice!

only just logged in and saw the thread from yesterday, so sweet of @[email protected] <3

Lucky!

Congrats you guys! I know the community is in good hands ❀️

[–] little_niggle 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're deffo a shout for it, a day one user if I remember correctly.

Also I remember you were saying something about developing bots once you've got the time!

[–] Roxamir 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks! I've never made a forum bot before so I've been reading a lot of documentation. Lemmy has some good resources. Don't want to mess up my first one πŸ˜…

I just like this community a lot and want to help whichever way I can :)

[–] I_am_the_grass 6 points 2 years ago

Yea, 100% Roxamir I'd get you on board if you can figure out the bots, etc.

As I mentioned yesterday, right now I've just given out the roles based on engagement needs rather than actual moderation. So decided to give it to the folks driving the daily threads.

Next set of mods will definitely be around the more technical moderation tools like bots, etc.

We're fortunate enough that right now the mods don't actually need to do moderation - partly because we're a small community, partly because we're not assholes.

Eventually when we need a full mod team, we'll probably involve the community in deciding who the mods are but I think we're still a way from there.

Damn, Ruben Neves sold out and about to join a Saudi team. Depressing shit.

[–] Astrealix 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Joselu moving to Real Madrid while Benzema, current Ballon D'Or holder moves to Saudi Arabia. Football is about to be even more dominated by money lol.

[–] Matt_Sams_314 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

True, although I wouldn't complain if the Saudis feel like splashing Β£100m on Partey

[–] Astrealix 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As someone from Hong Kong, where our best clubs are finally doing something in Asian competition, fuck that lol. The most famous person we've ever had play for us was a washed up Diego ForlΓ‘n.

[–] MHPengwingz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh my god that seemed like a lifetime ago

[–] Astrealix 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I remember seeing him on TV doing ads, it was wild. And now Kitchee are winning matches in the AFC CL while my club (South China) are languishing in the second tier cuz of money...

[–] MHPengwingz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aren't there like match fixing scandals every 2-3 years as well? I occasionally see the news reports if I happen to catch HK news.

[–] Astrealix 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There was one recently yeah lol. I honestly don't pay attention to the local leagues as much as I would like cuz I'm an overseas student now and cuz have you tried? It's not on Fotmob or Onefootball or any app, and my club isn't even on pay-per-view TV lol cuz first division league.

[–] MHPengwingz 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Isn't it usually streamed on the team's YouTube? It's also occasionally on RTHK TV if I'm not mistaken....which I get on "the box". Not sure if "the box" is a thing that's available in your area.

[–] Astrealix 2 points 2 years ago

tbh you're making me tempted to email them and ask lol, I might just go and do that real quick...

[–] Astrealix 1 points 2 years ago

Youtube is a decent shout but SCAA just have a bunch of vids about all their other ventures; I haven't seen tier 2 on RTHK TV but I could be just missing it.

[–] Astrealix 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Apparently also Edouard Mendy. Fucking hell everyone chasing the bag.

[–] Gingerrific 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't blame em, given the money being offered.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@Gingerrific @Astrealix looking a lot like the Saudi PIF helping our Boehly and Chelsea

[–] Gingerrific 1 points 2 years ago

Balogun is looking to be a starter somewhere.....

But on a serious note, I'm curious to see what kind of selling fee Chelsea will get and whether they can squeeze it into this fiscal year or not. Poch has his work cut out for him and I don't think he is going to get the patience that the Chelsea rebuild needs. There are just too many issues to address all at once but they dug themselves a 500m grave they will have troubles getting out of, whether the Saudi's help much or not.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm glad to see players getting real money, instead of that money flowing to team owners etc.

It's too bad that to do it they need to go move to silly league without fans, but hopefully it will trickle back into the real leagues.

[–] Astrealix 5 points 2 years ago

Happy Juneteenth to anyone that celebrates, by the way

[–] Astrealix 4 points 2 years ago

Realised recently that me saying "I'm tired, Robbie" comes from this place lol, it's just slipped into my vocab and I thought it was some movie reference but nope XD

[–] Astrealix 3 points 2 years ago

Changed the sidebar, let me know if y'all have suggestions for what to put there! Might put the Bergkamp quote back but I wanted it to be distinct from r/gunners

[–] Roxamir 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you guys ever need another mod I'd be interested.

Just saying πŸ˜…

[–] Astrealix 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At this rate we're gonna have more mods than users mate I think we'll be fine, cheers tho

[–] Roxamir 4 points 2 years ago

Well I didn't mean this instant πŸ˜‚

Just in the future as the community gets bigger.

https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/arsenal-cannot-fulfil-kai-havertz-27154286 - A Tom Canton piece on Havertz's potential transfer.

I don't like the idea that Havertz would come in and make it even harder for ESR to break into the first team. The story about the number 10 shirt might just be a story, but it still makes me worry.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

@Astrealix one of the mods should submit c/gunners onto this list: https://redditmigration.com/

[–] Aesecakes 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there a reason we have that photo for the banner? It gives me a shock on mobile whenever I see Mustafi all zoomed in.

[–] Astrealix 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just what @[email protected] chose I think. What app / browser are you using that it zooms on him tho? It shows the full banner for me on the PWA

[–] Aesecakes 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yr right, browser is OK. Mlem app is like this. I've figured out how to turn the image off in the app settings though.

[–] Astrealix 3 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, Mlem is buggy lol.
