Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

The Asian one makes no sense.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (22 children)

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the final one is the symbol for "five" and it takes 5 strokes to draw. it'd be like drawing a 5 one segment at a time in an eight segment number display as the tally marks.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I still don’t like it. It’s not a logical placement of strokes. No I don’t care that the Kanji ultimately means ‘5’.

I don’t like it. It’s aesthetically displeasing with no logic.

It’s only aesthetically displeasing to you because you come from a western background. For someone used to say mandarin it is quite aesthetically pleasing. The final bottom stroke “closes” the set in a satisfying way that is consistent Chinese character stroke order.

Some things are culturally relative. Aesthetics is one of those things.

I use n. American one but find the France/Brazil one makes Sense. The Asian looks aesthetically displaying but not for the train you stated.

I understand that, But they’re still wrong.

The world is a wonderful and diverse place. Looking at your comment history I see some slurs that, to me at least, hint that you are a younger person.

My main advice to have empathy, be accepting and realize that many people live their own lives most of which are very different than yours.

People can learn, change, and live unique and meaningful lives. :)

Oh I’m just spouting off occasionally with hyperbole, rants and un-serious trolling.

Don’t sweat it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I’m glad. :) And worry not. I do try to make the world a better place where I can, but I understand that I can’t get too invested in every attempt. In this case no sweat was involved. Just empathy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

TBH I actually have a lot of empathy but I also love going off half-cocked online. Probably as a release valve for my inner demons which don’t get exercised enough in daily life.

I’m rarely actually serious (apart from my hatred of the disfunction-by-design of the RightWing) but it’s easy for that to get lost in translation.

Poe’s law etc.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I understand. In this case I would encourage you to exercise that empathy online. Is it worth making others feel worse in order to make yourself feel better? I hope you don’t feel so.

The world is what we make it. Lemmy is new enough that we are now setting the tone. I want to push Lemmy away from the “leave of legends” style perma salty attitude as much as I can. I encourage others to build positive spaces too.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Yeah I hear you. TBH I think it’s because Lemmy is so quiet, sometimes 100% of the time in some communities, that I frequently don’t care what sort of engagement I get as long as it’s something.

Chasing the dopamine of social interaction I guess.

I can’t promise to only foster empathy everywhere but I’ll do my best to be cool here.

No logic…unless you use the language it’s written in. You’re only looking at it from your perspective and saying it’s ugly and makes no sense. Because the language, to you makes no sense because you haven’t learned it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

… and they are wrong. It’s imbalanced.

Funny how people get so butthurt and rage-filled when it comes to aesthetic opinions.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Are you…referring to yourself? Because that’s not a trend anyone has noticed—but you tend to be exhibiting an outlandish reaction to something you find aesthetically displeasing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

I voiced a calm opinion. Others seem to be more ‘engaged’ in trying to shout me down. Just as I thought might happen.
