Moderation Strictness - 2023-06-16 For now since the Threadiverse is taking off, we will allow, for the time being, more general questions about Lemmy (and KBin) usage, particularly around community/magazine discovery and sharing. Starting next week however we’re going to ask you to move such posts to more appropriate forums such as !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml , or !kbinMeta@kbin.social
Rules
“Lemmy.ca” is so named due to it running the Lemmy software, in the Fediverse, and it’s geared toward Canadians, hosted in Canada, and run by Canadians. It is, however, not at all restricted to Canadians, or Canadian culture/topics/etc. All are welcome!
We are run by the non-profit Fedecan and funded entirely by user donations. You can help support us by visiting our donations page.
Including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
Argue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.
This instance is not made to host porn communities. You’re free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.
Use your common sense: if you wouldn’t want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the :::spoiler :::
tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links.
This instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn’t be to only advertise, make it natural.
If you are the operator of a “bot” account, make sure to flag is as such in the account’s settings.
Do NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.
The report function isn’t labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn’t mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.
Don’t make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn’t.
