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.

Do what the majority did and come here. Optionally block all the other ones to make sure they slowly die from having no engagement.

What does being an old timer has to do with the situation? /genq

It's just fedidrama. The original mods didn't like being told to moderate and how the admin sometimes stepped in and didn't always tell them. Though arguably mod log would show it.

Anyway they made a mod decision that they'd move to your lemmy world instance. At the admin level LW has questionable at best policies surrounding Trans rights and a more lenient admin moderation (allow more trolls and transphobe comments to stand). They also didn't ask the community nor give a chance for community input about said move, just kinda announced it and went for it. Communities don't like that sort of authoritative thing- what's a community where the leaders don't see members as equals in running the community- and there was/is ongoing backlash with some nice mudslinging between mods the community and the blahaj admin. I think there are now new mods running this community.
