YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer 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.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



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- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Seemingly as part of April Fools celebration, lemmy.zip instance hosts a famous game of "The Button"!

The rules are simple: each player has one chance to push a button. If no one presses a button in 15 minutes after you did it, you and your team win!

Just found it out in a random Lemmy corner and I think others might wanna join in on the fun:

P.S. enter your user and instance names, and a bot will PM you your personal login link

Season 2 seems to be planned for some time in the future, so stay tuned!

I didn't read the post lmao ignore this

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I was there to see the fastest AND slowest reaction presses. Which makes sense, since it was several people reacting to the button almost hitting zero at the same time. I was one of those people, and just barely missed out on the leaderboard.

Tensions must have grown a lot near the end. When I saw it 2-3 hours before it ended, the closest it got to was just above 1 minute.

The game? THE GAME?

Aw shit

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 4 points 7 hours ago

Awww, I didn't land my press! Waited for a tenser moment, and got distracted for 2 hours

[–] AyuTsukasa@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you for explaining the game. I didn't understand the explanation on the original post.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 7 hours ago

Didn't see the original post, so hopefully my one was indeed useful! Happy to help

I missed the game. Did it tell you which team pressed it last? If you put some kind of buy-in/prize to this it seems like it could get really tense.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 4 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

@mschae@discuss.mschae23.de (Green team) was the last to press a button.

Purple team held the lead for longest.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I meant while it was ongoing. Like if it tells you its not on your team right now.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

Yes, the timer was colored in the team color of the person who pressed the last, and chat could see who pressed it.

Congrats to Greens in the name of Purples!

Congratulations on winning the button!

Thanks, but the individual cup is for you! 🏆
