If the mod team sees that you are posting about plans or actually planning a banner that says "Join Lemmy" or something similar, that is fine. If you are posting about an effort that is more along the lines of "Fuck Spez" or a giant penis with a Fediverse logo, we will remove the posts or comments. You can't plan that here. Lemmy.world admins do not want us over there making the Fediverse look bad on Reddit, and today is no exception.

It's fine to post funny pictures of what people on Reddit have already done, but we won't be planning anything like that here.

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.

I don't know, saying fuck spez doesn’t seem toxic, it just seems like we are affected by those decision. I don’t think most of us hate spez personally, but we do hate his decisions.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore 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 META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser 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.



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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
