!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 (:

Is @[email protected] going to be the first Supermod on Lemmy? Never a good idea to make people too powerful.

He'll be the new AwkwardTheTurtle in no time. Mark my words.

He who controls the memes, controls the fediverse

The communities he moderates combined would still be a very small subreddit on reddit.

And I can vouch for Stamets in the sense that I am 100% sure that he has no intentions of hogging communities.

Yes and I'm sure everyone thought Stalin wasn't going to hog Eastern Europe. Look how that turned out!

Except that we can stop giving communities to him at any point. Google the slippery slope fallacy.

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

My guy, I have 6 meme communities under my belt. I'm not controlling anything serious. Also comparing me to Stalin is a bit insane considering the worst I could do is ban someone. Moreover, I actively look for others to work with and do not like being a moderator. I do it because no one else does but it's stressful and I would very much rather just post shit.

I'll be watching you. 🤨
