      I didn’t make the rules. I took over as top moderator yesterday. In general, we don’t want you to use this community to plan a brigade in a way that would make the Fediverse look bad. I could reword the rule to include that. It hasn’t even been an issue until today. It’s the first time I’ve seen it happening in the comments.

        I just don’t get why anyone would care if we brigade another website, reddit literally brigaded the fucking stock market…

          As I’ve explained elsewhere today, I don’t mind if you’re using this community to plan a brigade at r/place today that says something like “Join Lemmy” but if you’re planning to do something like make a large penis and put “Lemmy” next to it I’d rather you plan that somewhere else. Lemmy.world admins do not want us doing something that makes the Fediverse look bad on Reddit, much less planning it on the site.

          Thank you for having a respectful conversation with me even though you don’t agree with the rules. I will think about rewording that one to be more specific. Today has been very busy for me because of the r/place threads.
