MODERATORS
 

==please incorporate the word rule in your post titles==
Here are the things that get you banned:
-saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad or hexbear account
-tankie behaviour
-nazi behaviour
-authoritarian behaviour
-genocide denial
-prejudice of any kind
-anything else that is clearly bad

Things that get your post/comment removed:
-AI generated content
-anything in the banlist
-posts that are so off topic that they don't fit on 196 at all
-moldy memes (old memes, crusty memes, irrelevant memes. The type of things you'd see on your aunt's Facebook page or Elon musk's Twitter account with a laughing emoji as the caption)
-corpoposting

Ban length varies, and is mostly based off of whether or not I think you will change your behavior. I have baned certain people for upwards of 2000 days.

---------EDIT:NSFW RULES---------
NSFW Content is now fully permitted BUT it must be tagged. Any NSFW content that has not been tagged and blurred will be removed. Content warnings should also be added to the title in brackets. Example: [penis] or: [explicit description of sex].
Non-sexualized breasts of any gender are not considered inappropriate and therefore do not need to be blurred/tagged. Yes, even female breasts.

IRL GORE IS NOT PERMITTED UNDER ANY CONDITION.

JAN 2024 UPDATE: MOLDY MONDAYS
Monday is now moldy Monday. on this day and only this day moldy memes are not only allowed, but encouraged. The crustier the better. The type of thing that's been reposted at least 2,000 times with filters and bad crops and watermarks and hopefully minions. please caption with moldy rule

Not part of the community here just see you guys in All a lot, what is the reasoning behind having the word rule in all your posts? Just curious.

I've got a slight suggested edit

Basically the first item to get banned adding Hexbear to the list with Lemmygrad

I've been seeing a huge influx of tankie takes from hexbear accounts all over (and here) since they federated

My team is on it, and I will personally pitch in in dealing with it once auditions are over for the thing I'm working on

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you and I'm happy to hear it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What's the situation with the lemmy community now that the subreddit is back open?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We're continuing on as normal

Staying on Lemmy

Confirming here for Moss that I've changed user accounts.

Aren’t all statements prejudice? How can one even exist without judgement?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

How tf do you upload images on mobile? I’m on iOS, I’ve tried Firefox and chrome and get errors on both when trying to upload

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm here to post before I leave. Or do I need to post content? Hell I dunno, Im just itching for the sub

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been seeing more posts featuring companies, like this one.

I think there should be some rule about advertisement. We probably shouldn't ban all mentions of companies, but some limits should be in place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have made a poll to see whether or not I should start removing posts like these

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hi, may I please repost this as a reply within this comment section but with slightly different formatting for the sake of readability?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, the post is missing its newlines. If the post correctly used newlines, new paragraphs, and better markdown overall, it would probably look like:

The post, but correctly marked down.

Sorry, I'm new here - "saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad account" - what does this mean? TIA

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Those with accounts created on lemmygrad (an instance created specifically for tankies) are basically on probation. If they misbehave even a little they get kicked out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Ohh ok thanks, hadn't heard of lemmygrad

Hi! I don't want to break any rules so I'd like to ask first, what are the rules on self promotion? I was thinking of making a post about a 20-30 minute queer fishing game I made for this year's pride (this one to be specific) and thought it could be nice to share here but don't want to break a rule to do so.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This looks cute. I like your artstyle.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's allowed for now. If self promo becomes A problem, I'll hold another poll.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you, sounds good! I'll only do one post so I can make sure it's not spammy.
