Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I don't know what everyone means when they use 'rule' in the title and at this point I'm too afraid to ask. Please enlighten me.

That's because the "rule" of [email protected] is to "post before you leave"... That creates a lot of random posts that all have some kind of "rule" in the title. Sometimes these posts get popular and you see them in your feed.

What if I visit the community/magazine without posting? How do they know?

We actually made INGSOC from 1984 do it for us, we're very evil that way.

I'm pretty sure I was banned from that community for 3 days for commenting then leaving without making a post of my own.

But I'm not sure if they ban someone for silently visiting then leaving without posting.

I can't find you in the Modlog for any actions but maybe I'm missing something, if you feel something happened feel free to email the mod team.

Huh okay, it must be a vague memory I was conflating with something else.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Maybe, I just wanted to see if you were and why, so maybe there was a chance on resolving it or not. Take care!

Is it really worth the risk?

The incident will be reported at /var/log/auth.log

But then it’d be obvious the community is just used as a miscellaneous memes & 💩posts community and isn’t actually a place you go, browse, and post before logging off!

Doesn’t matter either way but it is a clever bit of engagement bait / encouragement for new posters.

Straight to hell. To the boiler room of hell. All the way down.

The man knows. The man knows everything about you. They’re always watching.

B.A.N.N.E.D.

No, they don't know buddy, ha. It's meant to be a non-serious rule for a non-serious community.

I remember how to spell bananas from Kelly singing “this day is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s”
