Here are the things that get you banned: -saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad account -tankie behaviour -nazi behaviour -authoritarian behaviour -genocide denial -prejudice of any kind -anything else that is clearly bad

Things that get your post/comment removed: -anything in the banlist -posts that are so off topic/moldy that they don’t fit on 196 at all (very rare, not usually enforced)

Ban length varies, and is mostly based off of whether or not I think you will change your behavior. I have baned certain people for upwards of 200 days.

Please leave any suggested edits in the comments.

    maybe consider (temporarily? permanently?) hiding vote-count on posts, to make it seem less dead in here. it doesn’t matter how many votes a post has; it just matters whether it’s higher or lower than others. for functional reasons, at least.

      I’ve got vote counts hidden in my UI so things don’t feel dead for me, it also helps me resist group think to a varying extent

        i’m seeing nine posts in the last hour, and top rated post of all time at 680 upvotes, both figures being below 1/10th of what appear(ed) on the sub.

        that’s by reddit measure, which is “a” measure, the only one most of us have for reference. i suggested upvote hiding because the reduced count may be discouraging.

        they are not bad in themselves, however: if i were, say, moderating this place, I’d say these numbers are too damn high because scary x3. and yes, they’re high as hell for general lemmy standards; from everywhere I’ve looked, that’s obvious.

        but the “Reddit perspective” is my reasoning for my suggestion, and i think those reasons will fade away anyway as people acclimate to these new figures, much like someone gets used to big numbers being normal on Japanese restaurant menus.

        thanks for running this place; i think you’re doing a great job of saving some of this culture

          I understand where you’re coming from, and really appreciate the input but I think people will find it stranger to have no upvotes vs the community just feelig like it’s in a budding phase
