RULES:
-
- Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk and hold each other accountable. If you see something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review.
-
- All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
-
- Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
-
- Sending censored donation receipts to the moderator team is based.
-
- Moderator Pinning Rules:
a. Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.
b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) along with other crowd or moderator compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example) so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.
c. Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision as to whether or not they should donate.

As the guy who fixed active sort, I can certify that this is correct. I've been toying with the idea of creating a new bot that responds on a timer, repeatedly, which would provide an actual benefit, but haven't gotten around to it as yet.
Also, stock Lemmy Active sort just uses hot sort with the most recent comment time--up to 2 days after the post is made, called newest_comment_time_necro in the DB--in place of the time when the post was made. So threads can stick around for at least 2 days, but they have to compete with all the other highly-voted recent posts.
(Ironically, I was also the one who came up with the bots idea in the first place lol)
One more thing: the job to re-sort the posts runs every 10 minutes, on the 10-minute mark (e.g. 8:00:00, 8:10:00, 8:20:00, etc), so the closer to one of those you bump, the more effective it is, and bumping more than once every 10 minutes is relatively unnecessary.
