“In sub-section D of paragraph 43 on page 12 of our subreddit rules it very clearly states that question posts are not allowed on the second Tuesday of even-numbered months, unless it’s a leap year, in which case it’s every other odd-numbered month. Post has been removed. You are now banned.”
I now want to see/create an instance with an obscene list of rules so strict that the only thing you can post is a certain image once a year within an hour window. Like the troll face or something stupid.
But the rules are worded in such a way that unless you take notes and really study them, it doesn’t make sense.
Fucking sign me up bro. Make it!!!
Rule 1: Posts are permissible during the fourth month’s 4th day, but only when the clock’s small hand points due south.
Rule 2: The Troll, as he grinned during 2012’s chill, is the sole emblem of our realm. Later or prior renderings are unfit.
Rule 3: While the Troll remains unchanging, each portrayal must subtly differ from its kin, shifting like sand but not a dune.
Rule 4: Titles should channel Zamenhof’s spirit but remain curt, and oddly silent of nature’s a, e, i, o, and u.
Rule 5: Responses must echo the well-known bard, but only select words in his verses, prime in their positions.
Rule 6: Engage if your tales match the steps between the first two perfect squares, and your chats conclude like a nonet.
Rule 7: Lend your upvote if your time in this realm spans three solar cycles, give or take a week. But to downvote, you must wear a name with thrice the breath and twice the beat.
Rule 8: Profiles that dance or flicker are deemed unworthy and face banishment.
Reminds me of the password game
Oddly specific
Another reason why i left.
Mods over there loved to take down good posts and then immediately repost them for maximum karma. They’d just make up reasons to steal shit, while you’re just out there trying to interact with a community you were passionate about.
Bunch of turds chasing each other down the drain. Good riddance, indeed.The lack of a karma system on Lemmy is one of the best things about it. The underlying idea was fine, but I’m just not convinced there’s any way to implement it that doesn’t encourage low-effort shitposts. No need for karma bots when there’s no karma.
Quite honestly I miss the 0 engagement you get on Reddit way less than automod
But if you count sealioning and pedantry, there was LOTS of engagement!

Showerthoughts in a nutshell. Even when I went through and verified every rule was correct it was still removed. Modmail just responded “well you broke one of the rules” and would never explain which one or how.
Every. Fucking. Time.
Then one of the mods repost the same link and get all the karma.
Gooooooooooodbyyyyyeee Reddit-channnnnnn!
Yeah and if you appeal to the mods they have a superiority complex stick in their asses, same with comments, too short
Your post was removed because you don’t have a verified email, but even if you did it would still be removed for the other 5 rule violations.
