2/4 aint bad

Remeber if you're a mod or admin to make a vague rule that you can use for whenever you feel like banning someone but they didn't break the rules!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I know you're joking but I honestly think vague rules are sometimes better, as long as they aren't abused like you say here. Overly specific rules have a tendency to lead to people looking for loopholes or being so long that people don't read them.

Vague rules are power. Power corrupts. No anarchist should be creating vague rules. If they do, all other anarchists have the right to kick their shins

There's a problem with specific rules in that a malicious actor can intentionally work to be a dick without breaking any of the exact rules. Which is why Don't Be A Dick is a reasonable rule.

Vague rules aren't more powerful than specific ones - any admin can just change their rules if they want or ban people anyway. You could have super specific rules and power abuse simultaneously easily.

I'm also not an anarchist anyway.

Vague rules hide and legitimise abuse of power.

Then only refer to it by its code number.

Anyway, enjoy your 47 day ban from this community for breaking... checks notes... Rule 8. I'll save you the time looking it up, this time, it's: Don't be frivolous.

I comment here more than I did back on Reddit.

It's just the name I think doesn't catch general users.. sorry, unpopular opinion maybe!

The database is a feisty one.

Lemmy Instance Admins when their instance unexpectedly crashes and goes offline for more than four hours

That one is easy, any circle jerk that is also funny will do it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 20 hours ago

You seem to have a contradiction there.

At each stage you’re issued a new partner under 25 years old.

Mine must be lost in the post. I hope she's not stuck down the back of a filing cabinet in the sorting office only to be discovered when she is well past her use-by date (ie 25).

Which type of person is Jack next to the door in the water freezing to death?

Probably a Nicole DM victim.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

Or a Lemmy developer.

the mauling bear are the user complaints and trolls.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The mauling bear swinging a human body around like a rag doll is when the instance suddenly and unexpectedly goes offline because of a major system crash.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago

Or as I like to call it, "an unexpected unpaid work in my free time."
