YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason WHY YSK:
In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true:
Disinformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.
Video only posts are responsible for an outsized portion of rules violations. Your post must contain text and meet the requirements of the previous rules.
Rule 13- If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Hell yeah I'm on there.
Didn't make it but 2 other wizards did.
Feeling offended now, going back through my comment history and thinking "Why did that not get me on there?" Am I too tame?
It's probably because I spend 60% of my time on here overthinking and eventually deleting my posts before posting them...
And 30% writing the posts that never get posted.
Yeah you'd be overthinking it since the dev wasn't doing much themselves. The blacklist was not put together coherently and appears to be mostly built by emotion, especially in light of the dev's "I'm not sorry at all" response.
The dev is a part of a corporate structure they formed where they're named CFO. They are, in their mind, Fediverse C-suite, and they act accordingly.
Going to need more info about this dev. Where did you find it?

Patrick is the CFO listed here: https://fedihosting.foundation/fhf-team/

Foreward
omfg lol
How the hell am I on this list? I barely post it comment on anything.
I just want Lemmy to have a better, more wholesome, and welcoming experience for new users, as such I've decided to block the things I think we can all agree are bad:
- Calls for violence
- Politics
- Sex
- Nu metal
- People who put egg in potato salad
- Jerry (all of them)
Add putting ketchup on hotdogs
You forgot "perchance"! The worst crime of Lemmy.......
- Fans of Asmongold
Whoa hang on now... all Jerry's? I dunno if I can get behind that.
Honestly, just most, but who's got the time?
I haven't even used this site in a year. Dudes butthurt at lefties and it's so cute
I can’t believe I’m not on there. I feel like I got left off the list of an awards show.
But why’s it matter? What’s so special about tesseract that getting blocked matters?
It's a popular web frontend for lemmy that a lot of people and even instances were using without knowing that content was being blocked. The dev has been integrating his personal blocklists of instances and individual users into the code. So if your instance or username is on the blocklist, a lot of users weren't seeing your posts or comments without knowing about it. It wasn't widely known until a couple of instances discovered yesterday that their whole instances were being blocked by the very frontend that they were using.
It's the current Lemmy drama and meta. Pay attention buddy.
lmaoo. kinda sad i'm missing there
Line 1449...lol
Lol, I've made it!
Sorry I didn't make the list, I'll try harder.
The band is great though, they did a fundraiser EP in 2022 to support Ukraine.
Damn I’m on every blacklist around here ahaha I’m honoured 🎖️
I suppose this means the guy in question prefers velociraptors over people, otherwise I can't explain why am I on the list.
Finally, the days of anti-ceretopsian slander are at an end! Sign me up!
Made it! Awesome. I'm on a crazy man's radar.
I'll keep you on my radar babe.
I'm on the VIP list too 😆
"^hierophante",
"^HistoryLOL",
"^hitstun$",
"^holyclergy$",
"^HomeInvasion$",
Oh, so that's why I can't find my own posts in Tesseract. I'm surprised they didn't block my whole community.
YSK I have a personal black list of users that I never will see again. If you can still see this message you’re fine.
Yay, I'm fine
Ohhhh wrong answer! BLOCKED 😜
i feel left out :/
Found myself. What's this all about then?
OOOOHHHHH, so this is about Leftist cred. I see. ;) I guess this proves I'm not a misogynist, like the Admins on 196 seem to think.
Dammit, I'm not on the list. I have to step up my game!
