New Rule: Stay on Topic (lemmy.world)

We have added a new rule to the community:

Rule # 1: Stay on Topic

The purpose of this community has always been to share news and have discussions about everything related to Nintendo, some of these can be good, some of these can be bad. If you want to gush over the new Mario, you are welcome to do so, if you want to criticise Nintendo for their various lawsuits, you are also welcome to do so, as they are all on topic discussions.

What is not on-topic is posting "Fuck Nintendo" and it's variations on random posts. We have generally ignored these before, as we don't want to stop anyone from sharing their sentiments, but this has started to increase the toxicity in the posts, for those who do enjoy Nintendo games and the community. You can still disagree, or even hate Nintendo, but your comment must be related to the post. If you just want to discuss general issues with Nintendo, you are welcome to create a post detailing it's failures, as long as it doesn't break any other rules.

So, in short, comments like the following are fine:

"Man, I hate Nintendo, why can't they give the game upgrades for free like PlayStation?"

But comments like the ones below are off-topic and will be removed:

"Fuck Nintendo"

"I hope this flops"

Please report any off-topic posts you find, so that mods can take a look and remove them.

Thanks

P.S: Since this rule has been added on top, as #1, all other rule numbers have increased by 1, so previous #1 has become #2, and #2 has become #3 and so on.

I’ve noticed it too, the people of Lemmy really despise Nintendo.

I think a lot lemmy user are pc gamer. I have never seen a statistic, but just guessing from the post people do in the jrpg community. And That's fine, but it's fine as well to prefer consoles or using them as well.

I don't want to say pc gamers all hate nintendo, but probably a few

Partially that, but Lemmy also has a much stronger anti-capitalist/pro-socialist streak so the corporate pile-ons can be a lot fiercer.

Now, why would your comment get a down vote? What could the person down voting mean by this?

That they don't despise Nintendo? Or that they don't agree that people of Lemmy despise Nintendo? Or that they didn't like that you noticed it?

Well, good thing I generally don't try to analyse these. 😀
