Thank you Chris, alyaza, Gaywallet again for making such a nice place and managing this explosion in popularity, to the mods and other people keeping it operating, and lastly to everyone joining, contributing, posting and commenting and be(e)ing friendly!
if you’re posting in a thread here but not registered on our instance, you’re still subject to being nice and generally courteous in line with what we expect of our own users.[1] we’ve already pruned a few comments from people off-instance that fall in that category, but overwhelmingly we just haven’t had to moderate people from elsewhere and we’d like to keep it that way!
very rarely. we defederate with lemmygrad and exploding-heads, and our standard right now is basically “does your entire instance and/or most of your users go against our ethos?” as far as that. we don’t expect this to be a big problem
conversely if we’re notified of you doing something particularly egregious like harassing people on other instances or something, you’ll also get banned from here. don’t do that, please and thank you. ↩︎
Yeah I don’t know if it’s the current small size of things, a filter from the confusion of signing up on Lemmy, or if it’s just new and exciting, but I haven’t experienced this kind of vibe and energy from an online space since forever ago. Not to say I haven’t had good conversations on reddit, but it was at a point where I felt I could just predict every reply I’d get to any particular comment.
Anyway, thanks for putting in the work to try and create a nice community, best of luck!
