I’ve just removed a post that had c*&t in the title. I’m not going to get into specific rules, but I don’t want that language in post titles. In comments etc in context, fine. But post titles are displayed to all users without the possibility of being filtered.
Please think of others when posting.
Nice thoughtful post. I like.
Sidebars are common though, it’s important to read them as that’s where the rules usually are placed, or other relevant information to the community you are viewing.
The apps hide them, the PWA has it front and center, desktop are automatically exposed. Just a habit people need to get into. As moderators switch on, they should become personalised here as well.
I was hoping Lemmy was going to attempt to go back to the heyday of reddit, thoughtful discussion, but looking at ‘All’ and it’s back to meme and low effort stuff. In this case, discussion instances/communities will need to be formed so as more users appear, it should all sort itself out.
Yeah sidebars on Reddit were located in a dropdown menu, too, at least in baconreader, what I used. Rip <3 baconreader
On the topic of low quality memes vs discussion posts and whether or not there should be specific sub-instances (sub-in’s? Subbins? Subbin? Sub? Iunno…), I’m a strong proponent of letting it all do organically. I think having low effort stuff is fine, and people that want more discussion will find that too. I like both and all, call me pan-content’ist (no, I didn’t cringe, you cringed). Should definitely appropriate the rainbow flag to show everybody’s welcome, and not at all just to piss off bigots and nazis which can all suck it and stay mad.
