I am traveling from the UK to USA for a few months, my first stop being New York City for a few weeks over Christmas and New Years.

Generally speaking, what is the weather like? What would be appropriate clothing? I think it snows often, so I was assuming some waterproof shoes / boots would be sensible at least.

Currently in filters and blocks, all the “Add instance/community/user” are at the bottom of the list. I have a large filter list requiring a lot of scrolling to reach the bottom.

Would it be possible to have this at the top instead?

Alternatively, when selecting a community to block (vis the … menu) is there a way to block the whole instance that community is hosted on? Primary use to block instances that are non-english.

Seemingly the functionality for setting languages is never used, and a large portion of my new feed is from instances that are language specific (and not the language I speak).

I have set my language to English + Undefined, but it seems no one else can/will set their languages for their posts (leaving them as undefined).

I would like to bulk add these to my blocked instance. I know how to do this.

My question is just - is there a list of instance + language covering the main federated instances?

Im watching the Panorama airing, decided to check out what this scumbag school had to say for themselves. Their statement is infuriating

An undercover investigator failed in her basic safeguarding duties to report significant concerns and had she have done so on day one there would be no television programme

You have ran this school for years, what the fuck

As a team of highly respected education specialists we see no justification whatsoever allowing such incidents to continue; the safeguarding of the children should have come first rather than a television show

YOU ONLY CARE BECAUSE IT WAS ON A TV SHOW

had it been reported like you say, it would have been brushed under the rug

Shut this school down. Jail these cunts.

This community https://lemmy.world/c/conservativememes2 had recently had its only mod banned for hatespeech/transphobia. I would like to request moderation control of this community.

thanks

Wondering if theres a policy for users who are clearly here to troll and stoke/create drama?

It seems all the mods for technology@lemmy.world are inactive, and are not making any effort to combat spam.

How to go about requesting to mod the community myself?

I’ve submitted the logs via email report as well.

User @Kombuchawow is banned for whatever reason but they are the sole mod (owner?) of a bunch of communities.

Is there a process to remove them? A lot of the names are old subreddits. They are clearly unused.

I had to do this on Reddit over the years. I have zero interest in sport, for example. And it seems there are thousands of individual communities for every sport, every team, all over the world.

I truly don’t care about them, and would like to just block - maybe via a community containing certain words? “Football” for example?
