Post guidelines

[Opinion] prefix

Rules

1. English only

Title and associated content has to be in English.

2. Use original link

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

The Court said the host has to :
1- pre-check posts (i.e. do general monitoring)
2- know who the posting user is (i.e. no anonymous speech)
3- try to make sure the posts don’t get copied by third parties (um, like web search engines??)
Basically, all three of those are effectively impossible.

in my opinion : #3 effectively seems impossible, #2 is contrary to Lemmy's philosophy and #1 would require a lot of community supervision ... that would require a different Lemmy software.

1 is impossible. You cannot screen every message sent, even screening every post would be a full time 24/7 job (3x full time moderators working in shifts).

The big platforms will run it through a blackbox content moderator system, and lobby to keep fines minimal. Lemmy would be screwed.
