Sorry about the discourse. A bunch of people made new accounts just to get into these fights and spread anti-voting bullshit. Wonder why all of the people causing this weren't long-time members ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
I had one of those, but after a few years of estrogen my hair is light enough I just leave it be now.
Okay I mean this is marginally better, at least you're voting, but still until some sort of change happens a vote third party is a vote thrown away
With some of the rhetoric I was seeing I felt like it was my responsibility to say something.
Literally
On the other hand, not voting or voting uncommitted in the presidential primary is completely fine. Literally no issue with that
Judging from your reports, you're labeling anyone remotely critical of your points and posts as "pro Israel anti Palestine."
locking this post. It's causing more discourse than our team can handle.
luv linux
Got it. I think we'll stick with regular emails. We're lemmy mods not plugs
We now have a shared mod email for you to send complaints, issues, praise, ideas, mod applications, really anything to. All of the 196 mods have access to this.
be sure to add it to your moldposts titles
be sure to caption moldposts with "moldy Monday"
be sure to caption your moldy posts moldy Monday :)) sorry for not posting this the last few Monday's I forgot
Poll verdict:
all AI generated content is now banned.
moldy memes will now be kept to moldy Monday. on moldy Monday moldy memes are encouraged. on every other day they will be removed. bonus points if minions are somehow involved. you also receive bonus points if your image has two or more filters/watermarks, and is under one megabyte large
Sorry for two new pinned posts within the span of 24 hours. after coming back I figured some of the rules needed some updating, and it is policy to put any rule change up to vote for the members.
The two changes I currently would like to make, is increased enforcement of the moldy posting rule, and a new rule banning AI generated content.
moldy posting is when you post a meme that you would find on your aunt's Facebook page or Elon musk's Twitter account. I'm talking properly old, moldy, watermarked, painfully irrelevant posts. I think we should remove them simply because they kind of suck, and removing them would raise the level of quality of 196.
I believe we should ban AI generated content because it is exploitative by nature, and I don't think we should be feeding it.
please discuss in the comments, and vote on whether or not you think these changes should be made. vote on each change separately. if there are any other rule changes that you would like to suggest, now is the time.
The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of "left solidarity"
...slavery????
