Welcome to TIFU.

This community will stand as a tribute to the fuck up in all of us. We all do something stupid from time to time, this is your place to share and laugh about it with folks on the internet!

Da Rules:

Use proper formatting

A. All titles must start with TIFU.

B. All posts must have a TL;DR at the end. Some of us are too lazy to read your story, sorry.

C. Use the NFSW Tag, if a Post isn't Appropriate in General but still follows the rules. (Sex stories and etc.)

Posts must be about you.
Must be your fault.
A few things that aren't allowed.

A. No Rape/minors/bestiality. No death of animals. No glorification of major crimes.

B. Illegal activities that you glorify or giving advice on how to do something illegal.

Must be actual fuckups No humblebrags or stories that have zero consequences and don't go anywhere. Eg "TIFU by sexy sex". Moderator discretion.
Be civil and don't be disruptive No racism/bigotry/homophobia/transphobia. No personal attacks on other users, no name-calling. No low-effort "this didn't happen" type comments.
No Self Promotion No making posts with the express purpose of promoting your business/video game/porn career. Even if not mentioned within the text of the post, alluding to links on your profile is not allowed. This covers implying you will set up a stream/public link/onlyfans in the future, having set up one in the past, or anything along the lines of "upvote this comment if you want me to do this." These examples are by no means comprehensive, just don't self promote.
Mod Discretion Mods have the right to supersede any rule and make removals as we see fit, which may or may not be the rules listed in this community.

So it's like the title says. I created this community to kinda fill the void from the reddit shutdown, and have no real idea on how to moderate a community like this, especially if it ends up huge like the one on Reddit.

Seeing as I have little moderation experience, if anyone is interested in moderating for this community just lmk and I'll see about setting you up.

TL;DR - Created a potentially huge amount of work for myself that I'm super unfamiliar with.

A lot of the bots and things that made reddit much easier to mod just haven't been developed yet for lemmy. Thosw bots are what makes losing the API bad in the first place. Someone needs to essentially develop an automod equivalent to moderate comments. If I have free time I plan to start working on something.

I would look at the rules of the sub on reddit, most of them exist for a reason. If you have questions, ask a mod, or someone else on lemmy/reddit. I mod on another reddit and lemmy account of mine.

Feel free to reach out if you have questions.

It'll definitely be nice to see some of those tools come back. Godspeed in your development, good sir.
