A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Reminds me of the community I got banned from because I didn't see the rule that said you had to source all quotes, which apparently means you have to source the quote to the person you're responding to, when you quote the comment you're responding to. Fukkin brilliant rules
Some mods are just power hungry twats
"1984"
~1984, George Orwell
It's fine that they removed my comment, but their rules don't say anything about "keeping it positive"
Besides, I'd consider wishing Trump would die to be neutral/optimistic.
Some could argue that you weren't civil with Trump.
But that is far fetched and Trump isn't civil in any conversation
I assumed wishing Trump would die was the equivalent of wishing someone a good day.
Wishing Trump would die is accepting reality that some people are inherently evil and them being alive has no value. This isn't positive, is it? It's sad as fuck.
The day that monster finally dies should be an international holiday. But then again, I don't think he deserves that honour!
that looks a bit like Reddit. I still don't understand why I got banned but I don't caree anymore: it's a way too pro american forum anyway.
I got banned from a reddit group because I didn't state my post in the form of a question. Like some jeopardy shit.
oh yeah I got a post removed for the same reason so I just started adding question marks even when it made no scene?
Cum gutters.
As someone who actually does read the rules for a bunch of places; they often have no relationship to what actually gets enforced.
This isn't just a problem for social media communities. A bunch of business use boilerplate contracts and terms-of-service that again have no relation to how they actually operate.
I had a post about dishwashers (from the Technology Connections guy) removed from the Technology community because it wasn't "on topic." I'm sorry if I missed that dishwashers have been around since the Bronze Age.
Bronze is still technology. So are stone tools, and sticks when they're used as tools.
Also Terms and Conditions.
Yup.
I remember in late 2003, when I read the legalese bumf that came with Windows XP... very long, and painful, drudgesome, cryptic, hiding "deal with the devil clauses" (they can change the agreement after you agree), and very restrictive.
Then I read the GNU GPL v1, and other Free Software licenses.
Never went back to the abuse of proprietary licensed operating systems.
The freedom, the upfront honesty, the brevity, the simplicity, ... I thought for sure "The Year of the GNU+Linux Desktop" was sure to be the next year. ... Everybody else reads the terms and conditions... right?
I read the terms and Conditions for Windows 10. It was clear that the person who wrote that had neither understanding of writing Terms and Conditions nor understanding of software. It was only later that I realized most laws are also written by people that neither know how to write laws nor understand the topic that law applies to.
Those arw like the best sites ever: https://www.tldrlegal.com/ https://tosdr.org/en I'il reae the summary and if i really feel like i'il read the whole shit
Idk about y'all but sometimes(actually, rarely, i do it more if i need it) i do read TOS/EULAs, depend how long and how much time i have though.
As Louis Rossmann says, they have a rapist mentality
Mods on Reddit: Make sure you check the "do not post" list to make sure your post is not one of the 3k listed
Dude, I swear I still have PTSD from that shithole lol
Everytime I post a meme I stare at New for almost 10 minutes waiting for it to get removed, before I remember "Oh wait, this is Lemmy"
Seen posts with -50 downvotes that still stay at the top of Hot lol, it's glorious
It was so off putting when you just wanted to share something and proceeded to get struck down by the wrath of the mods, or worse, the completely opaque auto filtering CQS system. As you can probably tell from my profile, I love making memes, but only really had the courage to start when I joined Lemmy, since if I made a bad one here it would just get downvoted and I would have a chance. This place is such a breath of fresh air.
For claiming GMOs are bred for glyphosate resistance, which is the real reason why USDA Organic products grew significantly in the market, not because consumers actually think Organic produce is "naturally" healthier.
But this was only enforced after I pissed off the mod in Political Memes and he went backwards through my comment history to find me in another community he mods to delete another comment lol.
Still a million times better than the reddit experience.
I’m permabanned on !politics@lemmy.world because I warned someone “careful, some of the mods on here are snowflakes”
Permaban, same instance, no notification. No recourse.
If someone said: “moderator x is a removed”, guess what? It’s on the same level as that.
Wrong. You're banned because you called the mods autistic in a way that implies autism is something to be looked down upon, hence using it as a slur. So not only you tried to insult the mods, you were ableistic in doing so.
Also, it was not the firsf time you went against that sub's rules.
Saturn retrograde is serious
Uranus in ascendancy tho?
I'd say Mars
Yep, hopefully it will align with N64 soon.
Thought of something fun the other day. While putting away groceries in the fridge, I realized that having a nubbin or something on the bottom of the refrigerator door would be massively helpful, allowing me to manipulate the door with my foot while I have full arms/hands.
So I went to reddit 'showerthoughts', which I thought was an appropriate venue for the idea, posted aaaaaaand immediately deleted. Mod said "read the rules," and -no joke- it was like 5 pages of bullshit, wrapped in bullshit with bullshit bullet points. And despite reading it carefully, nowhere did I find the supposed rule I violated which was "to reply to your own post in the comments."
Bro, fuck your website, fuck your rules, and fuck you.
I remember getting inspired by the "Polandball" comics, so I drew one myself. Even followed all the stylistic rules laid out on the sub and everything. But instead of just being allowed to post it you have to submit it to a mod first. And the mod rejected it because he didn't get the joke. So explained the joke to them but they still thought it didn't make sense, so I didn't get a licence to post in the end.
I understand that there are rules for the kind of stuff you want to allow but come on man...
I made a polandball, submitted to the mod, and was told the joke was overused so rejected.
It was in the vein all the other jokes currently were, hence why I went with it.
It's a shame they're so gatekeepy. I found them quite fun in the past but since my experience trying to contribute unsubbed and never looked again. Fuck them
We could start our own polandball here! With blackjack! And hookers!
