=========please incorporate the word rule in your post titles=========== ∆∆∆Here are the things that get you banned: -saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad 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: -anything in the banlist -posts that are so off topic/moldy that they don’t fit on 196 at all (very rare, not usually enforced) -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 200 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. 8----------------------------------------------------------- Please leave any suggested edits in the comments.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Aren’t all statements prejudice? How can one even exist without judgement?
I’m here because fuck u/spez
I will upvote literally anything that has “fuck” and “spez” in the same sentence.
Spez is so hot, I want to fuck him.
Upvoted but 🤨📸
Edit: do you have a thing for idiots in power? I have some suggestions for you…
No, not at all. Just wanted to test your conviction.
Idk, you’re probably too old for him.
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.
I have made a poll to see whether or not I should start removing posts like these
I’m here to post before I leave. Or do I need to post content? Hell I dunno, Im just itching for the sub

how tankies are still surprised that fascist apologia gets them banned in an antifascist community is beyond me
Literally
Anti tankie propaganda is fascist apologia.
Why are they even allowed to federate here
The main dev of lemmy is one of them, that’s how.
this instance isn’t associated with the devs
Other than being hosted at the same ip as lemmy.ml
This instance is blahaj.zone, hosted by the folks at blahaj.zone?
Probably because banning people based purely on political ideology is kind of facist 😝
Reminds me exactly on the wise words of Sir Karl Popper about the ‘paradox of tolerance’:
“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force;”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
Seems like a scarecrow argument to me.
Not very based.
I mean, it says in the post, they’re allowd to federate but are “on probation”
Based rules :3
Welcome to the mod team!
wow it’s that easy?
Based rules :3
Lol no I know kiwi personally. In order to appoint someone to be a mod, they need to have commented somewhere in the community.
hehe I know that, I am just being silly <33
Have a nice day! UwU positivityyyyy
maybe consider (temporarily? permanently?) hiding vote-count on posts, to make it seem less dead in here. it doesn’t matter how many votes a post has; it just matters whether it’s higher or lower than others. for functional reasons, at least.
I don’t think that’s a good idea. Also, it isn’t dead in here by any measure
i’m seeing nine posts in the last hour, and top rated post of all time at 680 upvotes, both figures being below 1/10th of what appear(ed) on the sub.
that’s by reddit measure, which is “a” measure, the only one most of us have for reference. i suggested upvote hiding because the reduced count may be discouraging.
they are not bad in themselves, however: if i were, say, moderating this place, I’d say these numbers are too damn high because scary x3. and yes, they’re high as hell for general lemmy standards; from everywhere I’ve looked, that’s obvious.
but the “Reddit perspective” is my reasoning for my suggestion, and i think those reasons will fade away anyway as people acclimate to these new figures, much like someone gets used to big numbers being normal on Japanese restaurant menus.
thanks for running this place; i think you’re doing a great job of saving some of this culture
I understand where you’re coming from, and really appreciate the input but I think people will find it stranger to have no upvotes vs the community just feelig like it’s in a budding phase
Personally it would make the community feel more dead if anything. I like to see some engagement over none
@moss @gravelsDrachma If its appearance in my masto feed is any indication, it’s quite busy! at least by lemmy standards
Based, thanks moss
Question is Lemmy.world affiliated with the tankies that made lemmygrad or is it separate? I didn’t know about any of this prior so now I’m worried a bit
No. It is not
Why do you have mods who have advanced the claim that Jews deserved the Holocaust because “Communism is just as genocidal as Naziism” and it’s really a tit-for-tat?
Do I have to link to an article explaining that Double Genocide Theory was created by Nazis and their sympathizers to JUSTIFY the Holocaust after denial failed?
https://jewishcurrents.org/the-double-genocide-theory
Wtf no we don’t. I’m the only actual mod and I’m JEWISH like
this water tastes poisoned
Are words like ‘stupid’ and ‘crazy’ considered slurs here
No?? Can’t think of any context in which they would be
punk-ass bitch? sexy fuccboi? plant? bratwurst? nword when used by a PoC? Any of those?
Well I only know what some of those mean, but pretty much any normal swear is allowed, including bitch as long as it’s not being used in a derogatory sense towards women. The n-word is blanket banned not because I have any problem with black people using it, but rather because I don’t have any way of verifying that the people using it are actually black. Same goes for other slurs that have been reclaimed.
There are some communities that consider them to be slurs against neurodivergent people. There’s definitely an argument to be made there but at the same time they’re so commonly used to refer to neurotypical people as well that it’s also easy to argue that they don’t do enough harm to be considered slurs.
bruh idiot hasn’t been a slur since the 1800s what are those mods from fucking bloodborne or smth
That’s good
I was on Raddle and they treat those words like they’re equivalent to the r-slur, so it’s good to have a Reddit alternative with at least a shred of sanity
redditor?
With a hard R
shhhh you can’t say r*dditor here
ok you damn r$$$itor (;
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.
It’s allowed for now. If self promo becomes A problem, I’ll hold another poll.
Thank you, sounds good! I’ll only do one post so I can make sure it’s not spammy.
This looks cute. I like your artstyle.
Sorry, I’m new here - “saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad account” - what does this mean? TIA
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.
Ohh ok thanks, hadn’t heard of lemmygrad
No problem! Id advise you to steer clear
