Official replacement for Reddit's r/GamerGhazi
Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!
Community rules:
Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules
No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments are not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.
Did you mean to post this to [email protected]?
I imagine most of the users posting to rblind are registered on the rblind instance as well, so that means just typing @ghazi won’t link them to this community on lemmy.blahaj.zone, it would try to direct them to a community named ghazi on the rblind instance. To link across instances you need to type !communityname@instancename
Example: [email protected]
Let me know if any of that was unclear!
OP's on Mastodon so they most likely didn't intend on posting here but to their own followers. Tagging a Lemmy group does create a post which makes some sense given that's how the likes of guppe groups and whatnot work, but on the Lemmy side it can end up being quite jarring to see posts like this without that context.
@ShittyKopper @Catoblepas Correct! I was trying to post to my community over on Hometown but I did follow the group/community so can jump in on discussions, I just can't share article links because, I think, Federation won't let me share links over here to there? Have others been able to do it outside of Lemmy or KBin to the community?
You can post stuff like links on Lemmy through Mastodon, but personally I advise against it. The format is rather weird and the actual link will be hidden in the description.
Lemmy probably still needs to iron out some stuff before that will work smoothly.
@squirrel Possibly! For us, over here, using Hometown and Glitch, etc. How it should have Federated is our CW's, content warnings, over here should be post titles over there, and our posts should be the body/link/whatever over there but I hope all this gets worked out with updates! Also glad to see you all in the Fediverse.
Same.
Hopefully future improvements will make the various parts of the Fediverse more interoperable. Lemmy and Kbin in particular are still rather janky, though promising.
Ah that explains it, thank you! For me this just appeared as a post in ghazi
