MODERATORS
 

I thought it might be helpful to post the current site (lemmy.world) rules here to remind you nice people what they are. You can see them by following the link in the side bar.


General guidance on posting and participating:

  • Do not post about inflammatory, controversial subjects without a Content Warning. Ideally, you would not post about inflammatory subjects at all. However, it may be acceptable to do so in some cases, but it is never acceptable to post inflammatory content without hiding the content behind an appropriate Content Warning.
  • Do not post any type of nudity without a Content Warning.
  • Regarding Spam: We are not your free advertising platform. If you are here only to sell your products or services, you will be removed. Occasional posts of commercial links are OK, but when the vast majority of a user's posts are commercial in nature, we regard the account as a Spam account. Moderators will evaluate reports of Spam on a case by case basis.
  • Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour. Criticize ideas, never people.
  • Do not report every post that upsets you. Please report posts that violate our rules but for others that you may find distasteful, or just don’t like, use the tools available to you. You can block the user or mute the conversation.

On the other hand, what's the harm of a content warning? If you feel like you're okay clicking on something you've been warned about, you're not any worse off.

Number 4 also seems like basic etiquette to me. You can't always downvote and move on if someone decides to be a dick and hits home. Why blame the victim and not the perpetrator? There's no reason to be uncivil to begin with.

Content warnings can be a bad thing. It's the very first thing that's in most posts, and so it forces you to read it. Otherwise someone can just skip by because the the actual discussion of the topic is deep without a paragraph, and usually doesn't come out of nowhere

Content warnings can be a bad thing.

In what way could a content warning ever be bad?

The only content warning on Lemmy is the NFSW tag tho. That's what they were talking about.
