Posts of people not realising the person they’re talking to, is the person they’re talking about.
Acceptable examples include:
- someone not realising who they’re talking to
- someone acting more important than they are
- someone not noticing a relevant username
- someone not realising the status/credentials of the person they’re talking to
Discussions on any topic are encouraged but arguements are not welcome in this community. Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
The posts here are not original content, the poster is not OP and doesn’t necessarily agree with or condone the views in the post. The poster is not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.
Rules:
This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
- Censor any identifying info of private individuals in the posts. This includes surnames and social media handles.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum. If you wish to discuss how this community is run please comment on the stickied post so all meta conversations are in one place.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.

Blurring the names is a rule on both reddit and lemmy to avoid doxxing. It’s not my rule, it’s the rule of the lemmy.world instance and lemmy, which everyone must abide by. It isn’t specifically stated in the lemmy rules whether you need to censor the names of public figures, so I’ve just been censoring the usernames and handles of the general public. Should the rules of the instance and lemmy change, the rules of this community will be adjusted accordingly.
Secondly, there’s nothing in lemmy’s, the instance, or the community rules that says posts must be recent. At the moment my main goal is for people other than me to post content; there are 29 posts here and 28 of them are mine. As long as it meets the posting guidelines and doesn’t break any rules, I don’t care where you got it or how old it is.
Thirdly, I have sticked a post to the top of this community asking for moderators, feedback and input on how this community is run. That is the proper place to leave your feedback, but I would prefer something more helpful than “it’s dumb”. This would be the perfect opportunity for you to post your own content as an example of what you’d like to see here. Volunteer your time to help moderate this community, or make a suggestion on how old recent posts should be in the sticked thread, for other subscribers to weigh in. Or contribute in literally any other way than just being critical, because I’m just one person trying my best.
Not my rule; not my rationale.
Is it really doxxing when they post their real name on a public internet forum next to their own backwards opinions?
