A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/[email protected])

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

[email protected]

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

!modabuse_[email protected] (new instance, I hope it'll stay faithful to what it states)

Made this community after a few disagreements with the mod/admin policies on [email protected]

And [email protected] seems mostly trolls

Off the top of my head.

unruffled at dbzero hypes up the conspiracy that everyone who gets banned for vote manipulation/whatever deserves it. I think they posted something about the brigade menace and treat a handful of down votes on something as the end of the world.

cryptagion at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes

mystic mushroom at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes

Also jet at hackertalks does mass bans for one or a few down votes

Think there was one other too but can't remember their name. The complaint is that they don't understand what lurkers are (vote but don't comment) or that people might browse all and not care about AI but down vote something because it is awful. Then they make ridiculous accusations and accuse anyone who disagrees with them of being a troll.

If they just banned down votes and banned anyone who down voted with the reason 'down votes not allowed' then they would not be getting the widespread negative reaction that they are getting by accusing people of brigading or vote manipulation or 'anti-ai harassment' and all their other stupid and insulting made up ban reasons.

Don’t forget that Jet spreads misinformation about meat based diets and sudo health science in multiple communities that they moderate.

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

Yeah, he was the reason I dug in my heels against the stupid 'if you don't like it then ignore it' bullshit which is fine for music and sports but down voting misinformation is one of the main purposes of the down vote!

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

Exactly!

Some of the shit getting posted deserves to be downvoted. It’s a feature here for visibility purposes. Pretending it doesn’t exist and banning people that use is just so asinine.

Don’t want downvotes? Go to YouTube and get coddled by the corpos.

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

Yeah, but one time there was an actual user who did use bots to mass downvote with obviously randomly named bots so that means any time something gets down votes it is brigading and vote manipulation!

Small AI communities nobody wants getting four down votes is comparable to LGBTQ+ communities getting dozens or hundreds of downvotes from actual brigading!

If you don't like it ignore it, and also I'm going to follow anyone who doesn't like my slop around and harass them!

Did I forget anything?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah I block communities I have no interest in participating with.

People also need to remember it’s just a number. Magical internet points as they say.

LGBTQ+ should be protected because they are actively being targeted for death threats and persecution. I wouldn’t equate that to some Ai posts getting a few downvotes because the general consensus of Ai is it outputs Slop.

Using bots to downvote is absolutely pathetic but you can’t be online expecting literally every person to agree with you or let alone read every community’s rules before scrolling and voting.

downvoting is against the rules of those communities. if you don't read the rules before interacting with a comm, that isn't my problem. why not make a post in YPTB?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Downvoting being forbidden is dumb and unfair

That would be actual vote manipulation by mods

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

People can't see the community rules when browsing All you fucking donkey.

Also, down voting is NOT against the rules unless they were changed recently recently.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

downvoting has been against the rules from the start. and again, it's not my problem if you didn't read the rules. you were banned according to them. if you don't like it, that's really tough.

Yes, unruffed is the one YPTB mod who is cahoots with the other three mods (of other communities) that are all doing the mass bannings, and even using each other's moderation as an excuse for more bans.

Example of mass banning (multiple communities, many users in a short time span)

Note I am perfectly fine with the last one for no down voting allowed for that community. It is stupid and rules don't show in the main feed, but no down voting is in the rules and they were banned without being accused of more than what they did.

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

being anti-AI is not allowed per the rules of those communities. as for the other user, that user is literally a sockpuppet account with zero comments or posts that is used strictly to downvote. I petitioned today for them to instance banned.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Fuck off. I've never seen anyone more butt hurt about single down votes on lemmy.

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

You're the one whining about it, clearly it effects your psyche a lot more than anyone else.

I just don't go to communities I don't like. Even easier than downvoting things en masse.

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

there's certainly somebody butthurt here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, your butt certainly hurts.

Bruised ego again?
Not all hits need a soapbox.
Grow up. Shake it off.

I have a 20 year marriage to my wife, a teenager, and a dog and all happy to see me.

How you doin'?

Edit: Oh, and I've been playing games and chatting with five friends for the last four hours. Played Helldivers 2 with two of em, Call of Duty with two others, and have posted here in between matches. Even touched grass earlier today!
