We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
- Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.

Where else would they be?

There were several instances where the only thing in the sidebar is the community rules only, no instance rules. At least one instance had rules in post that I don't think was even stickied in their main instance community or something stupid like that.

I don't bother reading the rules, because in the vast majority of cases they are vague enough to be uninformative (be nice!) or are so ridiculous that I'd rather just catch a ban than actively read every single rule everywhere to avoid tripping over one stupid community/instance specific rule. The only bans I've received across multiple accounts is either due to being a complete asshole (deserved), arguing with a stupid mod, or being banned for something the mod made up in their head to justify banning anyone who down voted a single post in one of their shitty AI slop communities.

I don't know if you intentionally called me out specifically or not but either way it's funny and made me reflect.

Edit: my communities are low traffic and low stakes. I don't like to take mod actions unless absolutely necessary. Broadly we can all understand what it means to be nice, no?

I did end up quoting my instances rules in the sidebar of my biggest (and most unique) community. It basically just boils down to no bigotry or spam, which should almost be implied.
