That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Ok, I’m gonna be real with you for a moment. You guys are some of the most wholesome, respectful and emotionally intelligent people I have ever seen online.
Yes, every now and then someone writes something edgy. I am not calling anyone in particular out. I am guilty of this too (as you are about to see in a moment).
But calling users here “12 yr old keyboard warriors” while being on Reddit is probably the dumbest take I have ever witnessed. Which says a lot if you consider we are talking about the website that came up with the CumBox.
In the 5-ish years I was on Reddit I got death threats on a regular basis. I got tagged for the suicide bot multiple times a year. I had some very normal Reddit user send me rape threats followed by animal porn.
And Reddit did nothing.
Meanwhile our admins actually do shit that makes this site better instead of just sucking each other off, crying it’s not the real greedy pig boy they’re orally pleasing.
What I am trying to say is: This is obviously rage bait and I fell for it. Which is soooooooo Reddit and it triggers me that it did so all across the internet.
It's all the modern convenience we've come to love with the social environment of 15 years ago when using the internet felt fun
Fuck you, get fucked you fucking piece of shit!
Just kidding. I love you folks. Cheers.
That suicide bot still being active when it became primarily a tool for harassment is so so stupid.
From what I've seen so far during my short time in Lemmy, there doesn't seem to be any fuss about mods (or lack thereof) being power hungry and that's good. And the people I've interacted with so far seemed to be helpful most of the time, whether I've got a gardening related question. You can't escape hostility anywhere so you just gotta have to eat those sometimes but we move on. I've also gotten the "Reddit cares" bot message because I seemed to have commented something about Stardew valley which wasn't even that bad, but I don't remember what I said but I know what I said wasn't bad to incur such a bot sent my way lol. Glad you (and I) found this place and hope to use this for years to come and hopefully no Lemmy gatekeepers tells us we can't be here 👋🏽
Oh there has been some, but 99% of the time it's someone clearly either mentally (or literally) 10 years old whining about their esgy trolling/dumbass ignorance being removed ... or the tanky admins/mods from .ml banning opinions and news they don't like.
Well, since it's grown ass adults make insults and threats.
Can I have some of those infamous rape threats? 👉 👈
No animal porn please.
