Greetings from new mod team
I’ve started putting together community rules at sidebar
-
Team members: Since we don’t have team modmail capabilities yet, let’s use this to intro ourselves to community, as well as to have conversations about the direction of the community, including feedback from community members feedback.
-
All: I’d welcome your feedback, comments.
-
WRT consent and respect, please also see this post by admins
-
Volunteers? If you (including OCC) would like to help moderate and grow this community, please leave a comment here expressing your interest; prior experience modding is not necessary, simply that you have passion for this particular community. No promises that you’ll get added, but a general community of this potential growth/size could use a good sized team of 5 to 10 mods. Please see this rough commentary on what I consider modding to be: https://lemmynsfw.com/comment/552299
Indeed - that word has been used by everyone, including all the admins of this instance, but it is also very apropos. Thank you very much for your honest feedback and I (and perhaps others too) will try to respond more fully later as time permits.
I totally understand the “wild west” appeal of having no rules and this particular aspect. I am totally guilty of it too and I helped build up Reddit NSFW traffic for years doing such. As well as tens of thousands of spammers and karma farmers and repost spambots that have no regard for rules and will do whatever they want to do.
More later…
Here’s how I see the distinctions - will try to put some of this into sidebar too later if this makes sense - after suggestions, recommendations, edits, etc. Whew!
1 and 2c are where some indication of consent is requested/required to comply with lemmyNSFW instance-wide rules, even if the user is not here on Lemmy. Some models may freely have given permissions cart blanche or privately, so you can provide such indication. When in doubt and you are too lazy, don’t post
2a content is generally shared under DMCA fair-use practice and won’t require consent permission.
2b is stuff that may be “fun” and “exciting” to share, but also carry many risks as you have no idea under what context these images may be taken: revenge porn, non-consensual, potenially underage, etc., and would go against rule 5 (Rule Five) No Non-Consensual Content of overall lemmyNSFW rules
Whew - hope this helps. I’m sure I’ve missed some distinctions and special cases…
