A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/[email protected])
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
[email protected]
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

MODERATORS
that is exactly it. Let's start having civil conversations about these things. Maybe we all learn something new, regardless of the side of the discussion you are on. The key here is civility.
I have zero interest in going to a place where people who want to take away other peoples rights are given a welcome mat.
The people that will go there are people who want to (civilly) hate on other folk, and free speech absolutists.
What you won't get, is a genuine cross sampling of perspectives and viewpoints, because it will end up being dominated by hateful voices (civil voices, but hateful). And that's what the other person meant when they said that no moderation is a form of censorship/bias in and of itself. Which is to say, you won't saving anyone any time soon, because the people who do want to save folks will be the least likely to use the spaces
I came here thinking they want to launch the next right-wing "free speech" platform. But now I'm not so sure any more. Maybe they genuinely think the marketplace of ideas works. And it'll be the right idea coming out victorious... Which might actually happen if we indeed were to do rational and logical arguments.
I'd say be aware they might just not know, how people get targeted for identity. Or face more than moderate disagreements on technology and politics, because it's not part of their life... This is all my speculation but to me it sounds like the genuine perspective of someone who doesn't have a clue of the reality of the community you answer for. (And generally what people tend to do online.)
