Legal Stuff (Aka, the ‘Don’t be a Lemming’ section)
Welcome to the part of our quaint internet corner where we get serious for a hot minute - the Legal Section. Before we proceed, don’t fret. We promise to keep this as fun as watching a cat play with a laser pointer. Ready? Let’s dive in.
1. Play Nice: While we appreciate a good debate over whether pineapple belongs on pizza (it does…fight us), we don’t condone harassment, trolling, or the spreading of false information. Let’s keep our swords sheathed, and our wits sharp, shall we?
2. Respect Privacy: Nobody likes a peeping Tom. Respect the privacy of others, refrain from doxxing or any actions that may compromise the privacy of our Lemmsters.
3. Keep It Legal: While we do love a good rogue character in a movie, we don’t quite fancy them in real life. So, please, no illicit activities, no copyright infringements, no illegal stuff. We’re a forum, not a crime syndicate.
4. Share Responsibly: While sharing is caring, let’s not go overboard. Ensure your posts don’t violate anyone’s intellectual property rights. Also, NSFW content? Not our thing, sorry.
5. Be Yourself, But Don’t Be All About Yourself: Promotion is fine, but this isn’t a billboard. Subtle self-promotion is accepted as long as it’s balanced with contributions to the community.
6. Stay on the Bridge: Ever heard the saying, “Don’t feed the trolls?” Well, it applies here too. Don’t engage in any inflammatory behavior that might compromise the peaceful Lemmy order.
Breaking these rules might lead to warnings, mutes, or bans, depending on the severity and frequency. Remember, our mods are like Gandalf on the bridge of Khazad-dûm, they will not let any trolls pass!
We’re all here for a good time, and following these rules ensures our community stays as friendly, engaging, and awesome as it can be.
And that’s it! You survived the Legal Section! As a reward, you’re now free to return to debating the best Star Trek captain (it’s Picard) or sharing pictures of your adorable pets.
Here at Lemmy.oldtr.uk, we like to keep the lawyer-speak to a minimum, but we have to include this: By using our platform, you agree to abide by these rules.
Now, what are you waiting for? Get out there and start Lemming!
