That one is easy, any circle jerk that is also funny will do it.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

You seem to have a contradiction there.

the mauling bear are the user complaints and trolls.

The mauling bear swinging a human body around like a rag doll is when the instance suddenly and unexpectedly goes offline because of a major system crash.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 7 points 2 months ago

Or as I like to call it, "an unexpected unpaid work in my free time."

Lemmy Instance Admins when their instance unexpectedly crashes and goes offline for more than four hours

Which type of person is Jack next to the door in the water freezing to death?

Probably a Nicole DM victim.

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Or a Lemmy developer.

Remeber if you're a mod or admin to make a vague rule that you can use for whenever you feel like banning someone but they didn't break the rules!

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 6 points 2 months ago

Then only refer to it by its code number.

Anyway, enjoy your 47 day ban from this community for breaking... checks notes... Rule 8. I'll save you the time looking it up, this time, it's: Don't be frivolous.

I know you're joking but I honestly think vague rules are sometimes better, as long as they aren't abused like you say here. Overly specific rules have a tendency to lead to people looking for loopholes or being so long that people don't read them.

[–] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Vague rules are power. Power corrupts. No anarchist should be creating vague rules. If they do, all other anarchists have the right to kick their shins

[–] match@pawb.social 6 points 2 months ago

There's a problem with specific rules in that a malicious actor can intentionally work to be a dick without breaking any of the exact rules. Which is why Don't Be A Dick is a reasonable rule.

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Vague rules aren't more powerful than specific ones - any admin can just change their rules if they want or ban people anyway. You could have super specific rules and power abuse simultaneously easily.

I'm also not an anarchist anyway.

[–] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

Vague rules hide and legitimise abuse of power.

At each stage you’re issued a new partner under 25 years old.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago

Mine must be lost in the post. I hope she's not stuck down the back of a filing cabinet in the sorting office only to be discovered when she is well past her use-by date (ie 25).

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

I comment here more than I did back on Reddit.

[–] iamai@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

It's just the name I think doesn't catch general users.. sorry, unpopular opinion maybe!

[–] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

2/4 aint bad

The database is a feisty one.
