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:
Disinformation, 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.
Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.
Video only posts are responsible for an outsized portion of rules violations. Your post must contain text and meet the requirements of the previous rules.
Rule 13- If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

No idea why I'm on there, but I am.
I feel like we should form a veterans league. Call it Adrian's Heroes or something.
Sorry I didn't make the list, I'll try harder.
The band is great though, they did a fundraiser EP in 2022 to support Ukraine.
Do I even interact with this front end as a lemmy.ca user using old.reddit sytle viewer?
I'm on the list and I haven't noticed anything.

Are you on the list? Do you want a badge?
No, I'm serious.
Or just steal this .gif!

I'm surprised I made the list, I'm not terribly prolific and mostly post animal memes. I guess I should feel seen!

Wheeeeeeee, I'm in the user regex!
Why regex? I never used that name anywhere, could have added my user directly and saved some compute?
Yeah, they used a pattern to allow my username to be optionally followed by numbers and yet I've never had an account like that. Which gives me a weird ai hallucination vibe actually.
Mine's on there as a regex, but encapsulated with string beginning and ending delimiters for some unfathomable reason. So I have presumably defeated this Super Sophisticated Blocking Technology entirely unintentionally by appending a penguin and a knife to my display name. See, I knew I did that for a legitimate reason.
How the fuck am I not on the list.
Yep, I'm on there.
Didn't make it but 2 other wizards did.
I make leftist anticapitalist ~~posts~~ comments all the time. How TF am I not on the list?
Eyy, I made the list!
What’s with crypto-authoritarian “libertarians” and their obsession with science fictiony sounding names?
Awww dang, I'm not on there. I guess I should be a bit more venomous in my comments.

I'M BLOCKTIKUS!
Dammit, I'm not on the list. I have to step up my game!
Damn I’m on every blacklist around here ahaha I’m honoured 🎖️
Lol, I've made it!
i feel left out :/
making a list of undesirables to disenfranchise is a rather alarmingly faschy thing to do >.>; just sayin'...
i've been mulling it over and it creeps me out more and more. all too easily, a misplaced sense of self-importance in a principal administrative figure can spoil like milk forgotten in a hot car. I've seen this sort of thing happen PERSONALLY.
Someone I had known became the big fish in their small pond. They began systematically ejecting and excommunicating anyone who didn't agree with them. Eventually the only people left in their circle were exclusively yes-men who did not DARE to challenge or question anything--lest they were to dispose of said yes-men too. Yes-men incentivized to say 'yes' to, and thereby condone, and then encourage, increasingly outrageous and deranged impulses.
The first domino has fallen over and struck the second, which is now tilting past any point of equilibrium. For a while longer, everything will be fine; the people who ingratiate themselves will be selectively immune from the same criticisms that get others blanket-'disappeared'... so hey, one might enjoy using that frontend for now...
...but I implore mindfulness and wariness. Very seldom do I see someone cross the first line without crossing the rest of them eventually. It's not impossible, but it's far from common. Anyone still using that frontend, if they start seeing "a certain kind of person" being bolstered exceptionally at the expense of everyone else, it's time to bail.
While it's not my place to dictate what the tesseract dev does, I do recall reading that they specifically were feeling dissatisfied with the work, and disappointed by the way their users were acting, and had been considering abandoning the project. While I can't speak for this developer, obviously, I can't help but imagine myself in their position... and on that basis I for one believe I would have sooner relinquished the project and walked away entirely rather than see myself turn it into a tool of targeted harassment and marginalization With A Cheerful Coat Of Paint.
.......
it's just setting off my alarm bells real bad. This looks too much like other abusive shit i've been through over the decades.
but eh. maybe i'm just paranoid... grain of salt, mileage may vary, et cetera.
I am but that list is so long it’d be more interesting to see who is not on it.
YAY! I made the list!
I'm honoured!
