Hello World!

We've made some changes today, and we'd like to announce that our Code of Conduct is no longer in effect. We now have a new Terms of Service, in effect starting from today(October 19, 2023).

The "LAST REVISION DATE:" on the page also signifies when the page was last edited, and it is updated automatically. Details of specific edits may be viewed by following the "Page History" reference at the bottom of the page. All significant edits will also be announced to our users.

The new Terms of Service can be found at https://legal.lemmy.world/


In this post our community mods and users may express their questions, concerns, requests and issues regarding the Terms of Service, and content moderation in Lemmy.World. We hope to discuss and inform constructively and in good faith.

Minor correction, “4.0.3” is used twice:

4.0.3: You are responsible for your own experience on the website. While we are looking to provide an entertaining platform, we are not responsible for your individual experience. 4.0.3: The reporting function may not be used without good reason. Only report content that violates the rules defined in the Terms of Service, or content that violates the rules of the community it was posted to. Personal messages may be reported if they violate any of the terms defined in this document. User profiles may be reported by messaging any of the admins listed in the website’s sidebar, or by sending an e-mail to info@lemmy.world.

Ahhh, very good point!! Fixed, lol. Should be visible in 2-3 minutes.

Also, Section 5 seems to skip from 5.0 to 5.2, there’s no 5.1

Is commercial splatter horror fine? What about a bit of good old eldrich horror?

5.0: Lemmy.World consists of a large number of communities from all around the world, leading our federated network.

This sentence is a little unclear to a native speaker. Maybe change "leading" to "constituting".

I also suggest that maybe an extra clause could be added to pick up CP related content that may not be illegal, such as drawings, hentai and AI generated content that depicts minors involved in sexual or other inappropriate acts. It doesn't quite fit into 5.04 as it may not necessarily be illegal (IDK) , or 5.06 as it may not necessarily involve gore or violence.

I see you removed the rules against transphobia and clarified that content can't be reported if it's not against the new rules. That sucks

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Did you use the mastodon.world Terms of service as a base?

[-] clueless_stoner@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Thanks for your inquiry. It was not used as a base.
