Hi there! Thanks for posting in YSK. It seems at the moment, this post is coming across as less than accurate. Will you do me a favor and update it to include the fact that accreditation is not the same as traditional colleges and the estimated prices that were found in the Wiki? That way it won't get reported and possibly removed.

OP has received their answer, and I don't think it would be productive to continue this discussion here, so I am locking the post.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have updated rule 4. Posts that mention suicide are now allowed with proper flags and warnings so people who may feel triggered can avoid them.

The mod team and I have been working hard at making this a space where everyone feels heard and supported. It's difficult to make sure we are allowing people to talk freely about whatever they need to talk about, but not ending up with a time-sensitive crisis that we as volunteers don't have the tools to manage properly. We will definitely rethink that rule and ways to re-word it. We are always open to talking about the rules and what needs to change to make people feel comfortable posting here.

WHY YSK- Many people practice mindfulness and meditation as part of their lives, and some would like to but feel like they don't have time to sit down and meditate properly. Once you've gotten used to doing it as a part of your daily activities, it becomes easy to simply take a few breaths and gain some peace from your everyday existence. You don't need to wait for a time when you can sit and clear your mind completely. It's a nice bonus, but not necessary for living a mindful life.

I haven't shopped for a new phone for a while but I have to admit I'm eyeing the new foldables from an accessibility standpoint. I really miss the mechanical keyboards that used to be available on every phone. In the absence of that, I'd love to have the option of a full-screen keyboard on one side and still being able to view the context of what I'm typing about on the other side without everything shrinking the way it does on regular phones.

I used to fall into cycles like that, and I deal with chronic pain which causes me a decent amount of anxiety. I also went to therapy with the specific goal of learning how not to fall into spirals of anxiety anymore. It has been very helpful for me.

I also found it helpful to tell someone I trusted to ask me when they notice I'm isolating if I need someone to talk to about it so I won't have to do the work of reaching out. This was helpful for both of us because they had been feeling like there was nothing they could do to help me if I didn't talk with them about it, and it may be a personal thing they shouldn't bring up, and I was secretly hoping someone would care enough to ask.

Maybe when you're feeling well enough to do so, asking someone who loves you to reach out to you when you need it would be a good choice for you.

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.

[-] ZenGrammy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Thank you for having a respectful conversation with me even though you don't agree with the rules. I will think about rewording that one to be more specific. Today has been very busy for me because of the r/place threads.

[-] ZenGrammy@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

As I've explained elsewhere today, I don't mind if you're using this community to plan a brigade at r/place today that says something like "Join Lemmy" but if you're planning to do something like make a large penis and put "Lemmy" next to it I'd rather you plan that somewhere else. Lemmy.world admins do not want us doing something that makes the Fediverse look bad on Reddit, much less planning it on the site.

[-] ZenGrammy@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I didn't make the rules. I took over as top moderator yesterday. In general, we don't want you to use this community to plan a brigade in a way that would make the Fediverse look bad. I could reword the rule to include that. It hasn't even been an issue until today. It's the first time I've seen it happening in the comments.

AvaddonLFC, who used to be the Captain of this ship and coordinator of moderators available to help you with your concerns is no longer able to be part of this community, as he is now an Administrator at Lemmy.world. I'm very happy for him and also happy to take on the job myself. I want to make this community a welcoming place full of both resources and helpful, kind people. I know it's been slow here and you've mostly been on your own for a day or two.

I am not a mental health professional but I do have a new one starting as a moderator in the next few days and I have a few friends in the field. Going forward I will be pulling together some resources to add to a pinned post or the sidebar for everyone to use. If you have any suggestions for what to add, please drop them in the comments here. If you see any posts or comments that you feel are unhelpful or not okay, please report them so I will know I should take a look right away. I will be checking for rule-breaking posts regularly, and working with the mods on how to tighten up our rules to make sure they cover what they need to.

[-] ZenGrammy@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

In my opinion, something like "Join Lemmy" is fine, but a giant penis with LEMMY next to it is not as good a look and I'd rather you not coordinate that plan here.

[-] ZenGrammy@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Understood. I'm just requesting we don't make the Fediverse look bad.

[-] ZenGrammy@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago

Mod reminder: We do have a rule against brigading. I know this is a special case - but please keep it respectful if you are planning to represent the Fediverse on r/place.

Hello c/Reddit! As you may have noticed from the fancy “A” next to his name on his posts around Lemmy, our fearless leader AvaddonLFC is now an Administrator, which means he can no longer be part of our moderation team. I have agreed to take over his communities because I believe in what we’ve all been building together as a group. There will be no changes to the current rules or moderators, though you may see some new faces that were already chosen to join the team.

If you have any feedback on our rules or just want to tell us how much you’ll miss AvaddonLFC, this is the place to do it. (Don’t worry, I can take it!)

I am grateful to AvaddonnLFC for tbuilding this community and inviting me to join him as a moderator, and to my fellow mods (and hopefully the community) for sticking with me through this change!

I am going to remove your post because this is not the right place for it, but please do seek advice at /c/mentalhealth@lemmy.world for your concerns.
