Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Because I use the YouTube app on Apple TV. It doesn’t have all the fancy stuff. Plus I want to kinda support the dozens of creators I watch without spending $120/month since they’d all be Patreon/Twitch.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

A single month of patreon is gonna give them more money than watching all their videos with ads, you can just rotate

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Donate a single dollar once to each of your favorite creators and you're already supporting them more than by watching with YT Premium or watching ads. The creators get a tiny fraction of the ad & subscription revenue, while YouTube keeps most for themselves - that's who you're really supporting with premium

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Paying the streaming company does not support the artist.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

YouTube has a revenue split with it's creators? Ads (and therefore Premium) are often a good part of a creator's income?

It may not support them by a lot, but it supports them infinitely more than blocking all ads.

Most of the ones i like make their money on patreon.

Oh, lol, .world

[–] [email protected] 0 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I suppose that is so; but if you'd ask them whether they'd also rather have the ad revenue, I would assume most of them would say yes.

Ah, yes. Make fun of me for signing up with some domain when I was still clueless about Lemmy. Thanks. Really appreciate the generalisation.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

most would say yes

I'd expect most resent the shitty split

make fun of me

Gladly!

really appreciate

No problem!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That does not prove your point of them not getting any support, though.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Im not going to keep arguing with someone from .world.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Very cool. I love discrimination.

I did want to say one more thing, though, but feel free to ignore.

If you'd said something like "a one time donation supports a creator more than years of Premium ever would", I would not have argued. But what you are saying is plainly false.

suck googles dick! For artists!

I try to not use google products, and if i must, to give them as little data as possible. There is no way to pay for content anonymously; even if the payment is untraceable the account activity builds a profile.

discrimination

Lol

I'm not telling you to do that; I'm saying your initial statement is wrong.

I wouldn't have been on Lemmy if it wasn't for moving away from big tech.
But now it seems people take issue with that as well because I went with the basic bitch option when signing up, or did something horrific happen with .world whilst I was keeping away from social media in general?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

.world uses the over centralization and defaultness to shield some pretty vile zionist and neoliberal positions they enforce. Past few days there very suddenly appeared a move asking for them and others to defederate next largest instance. Timing is suspicious, and a majority of the most obnoxious assholes are there anyway.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That doesn't sound great, might you have some further reading on that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 15 hours ago

Just lemmy.world i guess. Just, the people tgere, what the mods do(n't) allow, some of your fellow users?

Im confused, do you want an academic paper?
