Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

you'll note that I didn't say anything special but got downvoted to -76 :)

What do you mean you didn't say anything special? You called attention to something obvious. People normally only do that when they want to complain, i.e. "it's monday" or "the bus is late" etc. If you want to call attention to something obvious but in a positive light, you have to say that explicitly, i.e. "it's cool that there's a lot of transgender people in the hacking community" or "nice, it's raining!". Neutral is negative by default, unfortunately.

Neutral is negative by default, unfortunately.

I don't agree, especially cause we talk here about reverse engineering which is considered as relatively hardcore skill and in the positive way.

If I was saying: "There's lot of transgenders in blackhat hacking", there you might draw some negative conclusion.

Anyway, that was not my intention and sorry, it is not something 'obvious'.

You get to choose your intention. You don't get to choose how it's received. You were downvoted because people perceived you as negative, even if it's not what you intended. Unless you have a better explanation?
