Rule: You must post before you leave.

MODERATORS
 

Hiiii everybody! We need rules to keep the place from going off the rails and your mod team would like you to give them a review and let us know what you think. We're going to implement them now as a temporary ruleset so I'll slap them into the sidebar shortly, then make amendments based on commentary. Here's what we've got:

Community Rules

  • 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".
  • Avoid AI generated content.
  • Avoid corpoposting.
  • Avoid misinformation.
  • Avoid incomprehensible posts.
  • No prejudice such as transphobia, racism, ableism, etc.
  • No threats or personal attacks.
  • No spam.
  • No tankie, nazi, or any other authoritarian behavior.
  • No genocide denial.

corpoposting

I think it would be best to define those terms. I have a vague idea of what "corpoposting" means, but rules should be concrete and subject to as little interpretation as possible.

If you want to keep the neat list format, you could use :::spoiler tags to create rollouts that contain a detailed description. For example:

Avoid corpoposting.Avoid subjects that glorify the excessive exploitation of people or resources.

Bigotry is not allowed.This includes (but is not limited to):

  • Discrimination based on gender identity or preference (homophobia, transphobia, etc);
  • Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, language, or religion;
  • Discrimination based on a person's physical or mental capabilities, or of differently-abled people.

Using a better term than corpoposting might be wise, yes. I interpreted it as no advertising by companies and similar

What app are you using? That spoiler tag isn't working for me on Jerboa.

Ah, right, it's nonstandard markdown. According to Jerboa's issue tracker, missing spoiler block rendering was reported in June of 2023 and solved a few days later. ~~Is it possible that you're using an outdated version, or that you have to enable nonstandard markdown in the settings?~~ Scratch that, I just checked and confirmed that it is still an issue. If you can, you should open an issue on Jerboa's github.

I'm using the standard Lemmy web UI (version 0.19.3 hosted by LW) on a desktop browser. I've just checked Alexandrite, Photon, Voyager, and the old.reddit-style UI, and they all work fine.
