Can everyone please pull back on the Despair of the Day, bottle it up tightly inside and just…shitpost, shitmeme or shitcomment while you’re here. That’s the tottering crayon tower on which NCD was built. This is not the place for discussing politics seriously or going through the seven stages of anything. Thank you.

Question: what if the goofiest most fucked up concepts accidentally align with the dark reality we live in?
Time for memes about the pending US invasion of Mexico
Pfft that would never hap…
Orange filter covers my vision
my pico is de gallo’d
Time for memes about the pending US invasion of Poland.
If they have any sense they’ll do Cuba first. It’s just way too easy a win for a fascistoid government that’s willing to actually deploy and likes red baiting.
I’m not even clear what the guerilla situation would look like in the post-Fidel era.
Non credible rules, fuck you
I see MST3K and I upvote.
You’re my hamdinger and you’re bold.
Push the button, Frank.
Rule nr 5 is kiinda bad, not a fan of that one. Everything is political, hell the rule “no politics” is a political statement
I think I get why, but then the seriousposting or like “no starting a flamewar” rules might be more applicable
Sorry you don’t like it. There are plenty of other communities out there or you can cultivate a new sublemmy in your own instance. Have fun.
It’s just constructive critisism 😅
It’s also a legitimate question: what constitutes politics in the eyes of the moderators? That question cannot be answered without bringing one’s own politics into the discussion. Is queer people existing political? Bigots would claim so. Besides, war is just politics though violent means, and satire should also always be political. So being strict on the “no politics” rule is next to impossible, and selective enforcement is often worse than none at all.
Super, see above for my previous response in this thread.
I think both @Cassa@lemmy.blahaj.zone and me very much care about this community and about how to improve it. Since this is a meta post by a mod, talking about the rules, I thought it’s the best place to talk about what we think about certain aspects of the rules, and how they could be abused. This is not an attempt to start up drama or to denigrate any work done by moderators, but an attempt at conversation.
I’m not a fan that that is met with the suggestion to go somewhere else and create a new community. People have grown attached to this community, and I don’t think anyone wins in this kind of all or nothing stance.
My apologies if a conversation about rules and their interpretation is not wanted here, but is there any other place to talk about meta topics like this?
I see your point and it’s well put. I assumed you were just trying to re-stir up drama between blahaj and NCD from last week. I should not have assumed that and you had nothing to do with that. I apologize for that and for my curt tone.
Thanks for the reply! I missed most of the drama, but yes, it was a mess and I can see why you’d jump to conclusions. I still think that rule 5 should either be removed/reworded or at least supplemented by some guidelines as to what constitutes ‘politics’, but I realize now this is neither the time nor the place to discuss that with the nuance it deserves. For now, I’m content with some very non-credible coping strategies for all the clusterfucks happening in the world. Thanks for the work you’re doing for the community c:
Yall can talk about meta topics in the matrix chat, rules are more lax there. But I should tell you Rule 5 isn’t going anywhere regardless.
That moment when you actually look at a communities feed and realize every post in it is political in nature.
Especially when military topics are political by nature
If on the mobile app is there a way to check the sidebar rules?
Sync has an “About” tab when you’re in the main community.
Should be something similar for other apps.
I can’t find anything similar on Jebora. Honestly probably time to switch.

Question: what do you mean illegal in Canada? AFAIK the only extra laws here are already covered by rule 4.
The sh.itjust.works instance is founded on the work of dedicated volunteers based in Canada. SJW admins like @InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works might be better be able to answer your question. Our sublemmy is a guest in their house, in a sense, so we follow their rules.
