2/4 aint bad

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!

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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 5 points 7 hours 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 1 points 8 hours 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.

Vague rules hide and legitimise abuse of power.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 6 points 16 hours 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.

Not using Lemmy

Seeing your shitty meme reposted in another community

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

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago

You seem to have a contradiction there.

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

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the mauling bear are the user complaints and trolls.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 22 hours ago

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

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 6 points 19 hours ago

I comment here more than I did back on Reddit.

[–] iamai@lemm.ee 5 points 20 hours ago

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

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

Probably a Nicole DM victim.

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 5 points 21 hours ago

Or a Lemmy developer.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 5 points 21 hours ago

The database is a feisty one.

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

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 16 hours 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).
