Sorry for two new pinned posts within the span of 24 hours. after coming back I figured some of the rules needed some updating, and it is policy to put any rule change up to vote for the members.
The two changes I currently would like to make, is increased enforcement of the moldy posting rule, and a new rule banning AI generated content.
moldy posting is when you post a meme that you would find on your aunt’s Facebook page or Elon musk’s Twitter account. I’m talking properly old, moldy, watermarked, painfully irrelevant posts. I think we should remove them simply because they kind of suck, and removing them would raise the level of quality of 196.
I believe we should ban AI generated content because it is exploitative by nature, and I don’t think we should be feeding it.
please discuss in the comments, and vote on whether or not you think these changes should be made. vote on each change separately. if there are any other rule changes that you would like to suggest, now is the time.
The rules are pinned to the community homepage. think of it like one rule, but lots of regulations
This is all I see pinned on the homepage:
And the sidebar:
that’s weird. maybe it’s federation issues?
I’ve just went to the community from your instance, and it doesn’t appear there either. (I wasn’t logged in though, if you’d like I could log in and try again.)
I don’t see any rules either. I thought this community was like the Reddit one with minimal rules. A shame really.
That’s so weird it’s been pinned for like 8 months. also the Reddit community literally has rules
I can now see the pinned post so whatever you did worked.
Personally I think all rules should go in the sidebar and not a post but that’s just my opinion.
I repinned it. it seems to be if your instance is newer than when the post was pinned, it won’t show up.
