I saw a "not meme or shitpost" reason for removal and that's kinda lame.

If you have rules, put them in the sidebar mods. 🤦‍♂️

[–] USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

When you go to someone's house, do you shit on their floor if there isn't a cross stitch hanging by the door that says "Please don't shit on our floor."

We shouldn't need rules, because everyone here is an adult and the expectation is they will conduct themselves as such.

Beyond that it says right on the tin, "Star Trek memes and shitposts," so if it's not Star Trek related (and the bar for that is incredibly low) or it's not a meme or shitpost, then there's no reason for it to be here.

It also says

There are no real rules

And when this community first started getting traction, people asked for clarification and got told the same thing; there are no rules and that it didn't even need to be a meme or shitpost.

The removals for bad behavior are one thing; but most of the removals in the modlog aren't for that.

I don't know who told you that posts here don't need to fall under the category of memes and shitposts, but I guarantee you it was not me.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago

Well I personally shit on every floor I see

[–] teft@startrek.website 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh damn.

Mods, what's up with that?

That Sarah Silverman making out with Tim Russ post is the most on-brand post I've seen in c/Risa.

[–] teft@startrek.website 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right? I crave mid 90s star trek gossip.

Oh I already saw it and commented in the thread. I was just trying to get ahead of any other 90s trek gossip. But thank you for posting the link for others.

[–] Perscipacitus@beehaw.org 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Link?

[–] negativenull@startrek.website 6 points 10 months ago

The post was removed

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

With the first link the chain is forged...

Here's hoping we see a response.

I have to say, I suspected this. Being honest. I said to myself, "What could run off Stamets," and that's exactly what I came up with. The benefit of being closer to 40 than 30 I guess.

Now to join your community. Thank you genuinely for commenting here for me to see directly. I'm not good at creating content (every time I ever got a burst of creativity on reddit I was banned for posting too much so I just stopped making memes) but I comment like a sumbitch!

Check his posting behavior. Dude actively insults people he’s talking to at every chance he gets, acts like he’s in total control of what Risa should be, and generally doesn’t seem like a nice person to be around.

Oh, Pumpkin, I’m a fuckin’ delight.

Combine that with the private messages I’ve gotten from him

You mean when you provoke someone into an argument in the comments, and then report them because they don’t immediately acquiesce, so I sent you a message to knock it off? If it had been anyone else other than the most prolific poster, I would have happily given you a time out.

Now you know why I sprinted from this instance and this community.

And yet here you are, stirring the pot on a post more than a week old. Did you run out of other people’s memes to post?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't get the joke. Is this meta about some deleted posts?

[–] negativenull@startrek.website 6 points 10 months ago

Yes, a mod removed a few posts for breaking rules, when there are no explicit rules.
