Our rules prohibit intentionally annoying, mocking, or harassing other members. Please find a way to make your point without name-calling.

Sometimes I feel like we should change the rules in the sidebar to just that.

Please keep all replies on topic. People should be able to have a discussion about the term without devolving into personal attacks.

OP has received their answer, and I don’t think it would be productive to continue this discussion here, so I am locking the post.

Lemmy’s version of NSQ also prohibits replies that are mean or mocking the OP. We encourage asking any question that doesn’t break the rules.

Hi there. Hope you’re enjoying NSQ. Rule 1 in the sidebar states that every post must have a question in the title. It makes it easier for people to browse the community. Will you edit your post to follow the rue? Thanks for posting!

The Android community at Lemmy.world welcomes questions of all sorts.

Users are free to talk about China in posts that are about China.

Hi there. We hope you’re enjoying NSQ. Will you please edit your post title so that it contains a question? It’s rule 1 in the sidebar. Thanks for posting!

Hi there! Hope you’re enjoying your time on NSQ. Will you please edit your post title so that it contains your question? It’s rule 1 in the sidebar. Thanks for posting!

Hi there. Hope you’re enjoying NSQ. Will you please reword your post title so that it asks your question? It’s rule 1 in the sidebar. Thanks for posting.

No problem. Thanks for fixing it.

Hi there! I hope you’re enjoying NSQ. Will you please rephrase your title so that it is in the form of a question? It’s rule 1 in the sidebar. Thanks for posting.

Unfortunately I will have to lock this post. There have been multiple reports about comments, and it has nothing to do with the OP. We have plenty of new content to monitor today and I assume new posts will be coming in about the updates to r/place today. I hope OP will start a new post with updated pictures. I wish we had the ability to lock just one thread, but we do not.

If we are advertising Lemmy or the Fediverse, we want to do it in a way that shows we are (on the whole) less toxic than the Reddit spaces we left behind. Some Reddit users may see the “fuck Spez” as a glowing endorsement of Lemmy but others who are looking for a place to discuss things in a more civilized way may not. Those who are likely to both seek out and remain on Lemmy.world once they find us are also likely to fall in the second group, so it’s best to be careful.

Thank you for having a respectful conversation with me even though you don’t agree with the rules. I will think about rewording that one to be more specific. Today has been very busy for me because of the r/place threads.

As I’ve explained elsewhere today, I don’t mind if you’re using this community to plan a brigade at r/place today that says something like “Join Lemmy” but if you’re planning to do something like make a large penis and put “Lemmy” next to it I’d rather you plan that somewhere else. Lemmy.world admins do not want us doing something that makes the Fediverse look bad on Reddit, much less planning it on the site.

I didn’t make the rules. I took over as top moderator yesterday. In general, we don’t want you to use this community to plan a brigade in a way that would make the Fediverse look bad. I could reword the rule to include that. It hasn’t even been an issue until today. It’s the first time I’ve seen it happening in the comments.

In my opinion, something like “Join Lemmy” is fine, but a giant penis with LEMMY next to it is not as good a look and I’d rather you not coordinate that plan here.
