  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Why this NSFW?

Because Lemmy doesn't have a different kind of content warning. Some people get really nervous or even depressed by the massive amount of bad news floating around the world and just want a couple of minutes of funny memes to unwind. It's just polite to mark such things, especially when posting them in communities that are usually reserved for more lighthearted content.

Edit: okay guys. Someone has to explain to me why this is getting downvoted. Is it factually incorrect? Is it rude? Or does it hurt your feelings that some people use the fediverse differently than you do?

The content warning is the title being 'Content warning: gaza genocide', you don't need to also mark it nsfw when it isn't nsfw. At least when it isn't actually graphic in any way.

Besides, this isn't the comm for lighthearted content anyways. Way too much politics here.

As for why you're getting downvoted.. it's three people. They probably just think marking this nsfw is ridiculous, because the title is a content warning already. It also might be that people downvote anyone that says, "why am I getting downvotes!"

You're getting downvoted because you mentioned the downvotes.

Downvotes are meaningless. If you never say anything that people disagree with once in a while then you're just here agreeing with everyone to make yourself feel better.

Just own it: got something to say? Give me your spiciest downvote and come at me in the comments dweebs.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries. Enjoy your downvote and have a nice day.

I don't get it; they can just curate a feed or block communities.
