MODERATORS
 

Hello Lemmy moderators!

The Lemmy.World administrator team is planning to release a Moderator Code of Conduct for Lemmy soon.

Even though there will be some basic principles we will follow, which can be found here, we still need your valuable input. We'd like to hear your suggestions on what to add to this Code of Conduct, as you know best about what you want and need.

This Code of Conduct would lay out the official rules, set principles and goals for Lemmy.World moderators, and for any other instance that wishes to follow it.

With Love,
The Lemmy.World Administrator (Team)

  1. Set clear expectations of what people can expect from your community.

  2. Mark your community 'unofficial' in the sidebar if there are no ties with the company or brand.

Those are the only two that come to mind.

(2) sounds kind of weird for a decentralized service..

Yeah I understand, and we understand the concept of Lemmy. But some people in a highly expensive office do not really care.

I'm not getting the hint. Who are these people?

[–] quinten 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Big businesses in movies, economics, influencers etc.

Almost every community website require in some form to claim 'unofficial' if they have nothing to do with the brand of business itself.

Oh, okay. I'm not worried about those. Big businesses ruined reddit for me, so I'm okay with them not understanding Lemmy.
