!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Hello!

I am the lead for the community team, and unfortunately the only active moderator for this community went a bit bonkers and removed a bunch of posts and changed the name and stuff. We are now trying to rebuild this community, and have appointed two new mods Stamets and JonsJava, who will together try to get this community back on track.

If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to put them down in the comments here, and we'll get back to you as soon as we read them.

Thank you for being here (:

Why not make a separate gaming memes community?

[–] Thekingoflorda 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I would say this is the separate meme community, !games is the more serious version.

[–] PrettyLights 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The description of this community mentions gaming discussion and news here, and doesn't mention anything about memes or being "less serious".

Sounds like the community is being taken in a new direction than people signed up for.

I quickly wrote down that description a few seconds after noticing the rogue mod, so it shouldn’t be used as guide.

[–] PrettyLights 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is there any form of changelog for sidebars or community info?

How can I be sure rogue mods aren't changing other community rules without notice?

[–] Thekingoflorda 5 points 9 months ago

I don’t think that exists no, but if you see any malicious behavior, feel free to message me or any other admin.

That link gets me nowhere. Where was it supposed to go?

[–] Thekingoflorda 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Oh that’s not supposed to be a link, that’s the name of the community, here’s a link: https://lemmy.world/c/games

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

You are one of my favourite bots.

Thank you

Not a great idea to fracture a community that's already small imo.

[–] PrettyLights 4 points 9 months ago

The alternative seems to be flooding out discussion and news with low effort meme reposts.
