YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

MODERATORS
 

According to Rimu, the main developer of PieFed, all PieFed instances come with a 3000-long block list of resources that cannot be linked to. These include all sorts of right-wing outlets. There is no easy opt-out, forcing existing instances to follow the blocklist.

The flagship PieFed instance also rolled out a feature marking various other sorts of outlets - among them, resources considered AI slop and Marxist outlets. These are specific to piefed.social.

Why YSK: Many users have hard time choosing between Lemmy, PieFed, and Kbin/Mbin. Users that prefer a more curated and politically uniform experience might prefer PieFed over the alternatives. Users that are right-wing, Marxist, or generally concerned about global censorship of the Fedi-/Threadiverse, might opt for other options instead.

Note: The post is only meant to inform users of the potentially important differences between Threadiverse platforms. Any ideologically charged discussions are better left in the respective topic.

and what were the actions I got moderated for on the other instances? Suggesting feeding palestinian orphans to elon musk?

I got too fucking angry that capitalist dickheads are ripping off customers by misstating the amount of memory is in computer components. The MOST right wing, bootlicker thing you can imagine.

I fly off the handle when people piss me off. Does that make me a centrist?

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the most recent comment you had deleted was for violating rule 1 of !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

before that it was for racism, genocide apologia, etc etc.

i recommend reading your own modlog and reflecting on it.

bullshit.

EDIT : Yeah, one instance of racism of using russian against an asshole acting in the interests of russia , and another of calling a self hating black woman a self hating black woman. The fucking leader of the conservative party in the UK.

EDIT2 : I'm willing to bet genocide apologia was "maybe hamas should not have kidnapped those people, but Israel also shouldn't be doing all the horrid shit it's doing either " and not "the holocaust was when a jewish person fell over instead of 11 million people of various races and creeds dying".

again, you don't need to speculate: the modlog is public

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yeah, there's a difference between being slandered by being publically called a genocide apologist, and relying on people to actually look at the thing you said in context.

Want to know why Israelis are indifferent about Gaza? Just watch Israeli TV

Oh I know this one. Is it the constant bombing alarms and rocket attacks and having to have the iron dome so tel aviv can continue to exist?

Feel free to read more about the history of rocket attacks and know that Tel Aviv which hosts 494,900 people, who might not enjoy fleeing to a bomb shelter every five minutes. Israel is acting like shit, but understanding that the people that live in israel, some of which are arabs, or non jewish people, might be tired of the situation they are in, is not a big challenge. Which, has nothing to do with genocide.

https://lemmy.world/post/35043776/19050829

Yep, you’re right again. one of my posts got deleted for “genocide apologia” but I’m not promoting anything of the sort. Israel is behaving disproportionately, enabling citizens to do all kinds of illegal shit and not batting an eye.

I’m not excusing their behaviour, I am saying the motivation behind their behaviour, which is the purpouse of the article being discussed. Why are Israelis indifferent about what’s happening in Gaza? Because this situation isn’t just “israel bad”. Yes , Israel bad, but also, other people bad too.

As someone helpfully explained to you in that thread:

You’re trying to explain how Israelis’ indifference to Palestinian suffering is valid

also btw my participation in this sub-thread began by replying to your challenging someone to find examples of you "defending the right" and... yeah, the above-linked thread is obvs one of them
