Why YSK: If you violate the rules, you and/or your posts may be removed.

First I would like to state that I have avoided changing the rules as I felt my role as the replacement mod was to step in and keep the community going as is. I didn't start this community, it's not mine, it's ours. After giving it some time I feel these two changes are important for moderation and my personal sanity.

The new rules are as follows:

Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.

The reason I have added 12 is because overwhelmingly posts linking directly to videos violate one or more rules. They are always low effort and bring down the quality of posts in the community. This saves you having to watch the video to report it, and saves me having to watch the video to remove it.

Rule 13- If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

I have made this a rule because of an annoying minority that spam their apps "violates community rules" button and then argue with me when i ask them to explain the rules violation in their reports. This text was already included at the bottom of the sidebar, but I have promoted it to an official rule for those annoying few.

Please don't expect the community to give you answers to your questions which you then delete right afterwards. Those of us who put time into answering your questions are not doing so just to serve your personal needs, we are here to help build a community knowledge base that others can search and reference.

This has become a chronic issue with Lemmy and its starting to feel like it's a waste of time to answer questions.

Many of the existing mods have become inactive and the Lemmy.world community team asked me to step in as an active member.

You should know because I need you to report rule violations. I've done my best to clean up the backlog and will be keeping an eye out.

I've never really sought out being a mod before, other than trying to start a more niche community or two. I'd appreciate a little grace while I try to navigate how to best provide this service to the community.

Whenever we see Kanar portrayed in the show it's always a thick viscous liquid for something most humans would consider a drink. But it occurred to me that the vast majority of the times we see it, it's not in the normal Cardassian environment. Cardassians like it much warmer than Humans and Bajorans. Would Kanar be less viscous on Cardasia than we see it on DS9? Even most instances when we see it on Cardassia, the founder is very sick and demanding the temperature be turned down in the facility.

Love this city, the whole place is a gallery. Took this photo today and had to share it. Found details about the work.

Adam Witt, Eat Local, and Poochie and Pang are ones I've watched. Given the algorithmic nature of YouTube I'm sure there are some I'm missing. I don't have TikTok so any channel recommendations there would be lost on me.

What are your favorites?

LIKELY AI.

Below is the response from the store owner when asked if they would be pledging to not use AI.

Listen, I've seen your messages and many like them.

1. We have almost 50 years experience in illustrator and graphic design, we are not >concerned with AI.
2. No internet stranger, especially one who has not purchased from us, gets to dictate what >pledges we make or what tools we use.

Get serious.

We've got work to get back to.

When the lawmaker later called the number affiliated with the order, it went to the state police in Indianapolis. Hoax pizza deliveries have been a favored tactic of MAGA supporters who have tried to enforce loyalty to Trump and his agenda...“The whole idea is, We know who you are. We know where you live,” the Indiana lawmaker said. “They’re trying to intimidate us.”

I have noticed this is occuring more and more. It is a problem that started to crop up on reddit but now I'm seeing here more often. Do you not want other people to benefit from the answers you received? This community is kind of pointless if you just get an answer and wipe it from the web.
