New Communities
A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

what were the disagreements about?
he defended ableist slurs against neurodivergent people and called the mod "fucking stupid".
I must be really old because the only words I understood from that sentence was slurs and fucking stupid.
neurodivergent are people who have atypical brains. like those with adhd, autism, etc. several of the admins of dbzero are neurodivergent, and many of the mods are as well, so they obviously don't appreciate slurs against people like them.
The word slurs is false
The user clearly didn’t meant to insult or slur at people having schizophrenia
So if I were to call someone a "fag" that's not a slur against gay people? In exactly the same way "Schizo" is a slur against folks with schizophrenia. It's not rocket science. You are using their disorder as an example of something that's wrong/bad. How do you think that makes folks with schizophrenia feel? You freeze peach idiots are only interested in yourselves.
2 upvotes on a 1h old comment from an old thread? You brought your alt accounts to boost your upvotes?
Schizo is short for schizophrenia
Fag is short for faggot, which is already homophobic
You're really going to compare this to "faggot" and, to an extent, "nigger"? These words are obviously meant to discriminate those people, when I've never seen "schizo" be used to discriminate people having this mental disorder
Well it is bad... I believe nobody wants to have schizophrenia, just like dementia and Alzheimer's, yet I believe you're fine with people saying those words when you have bad memory, unless you believe that's a slur as well? I don't believe it was ever meant to discriminate those people, or to say that they are inferior in any way.
Bold assumption to make, when you're making a tantrum about a specific subject. No, we're not. And if I'm wrong, then I'll admit it. Banning straight up for 7 days (iirc) is not the way to go to educate people. You assume bad intentions which can only end up wrong.
I do agree that using the word like that is inaccurate and might be a bit offensive, but claiming someone is ableist because of this is far fetched
By the way, banning me from your community will not make you be right magically
That's really childish
There's another comment that asked the same thing with replies in it. See https://lemmings.world/comment/16797777
!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world is a heaven for trolls who have nothing to contribute but their opinions. There's nothing to learn there :/
i couldn't see what you're referring to, though
What are you talking about? I never said anything about this community
strangely, from your link jerboa opens this post ☞
opening it in browser helped. You should probably post these on your new community?
it might convert incorrectly the lemmings.world link's comment ID to your instance's ID (https://sh.itjust.works/comment/16797777) which isn't correct because comment and post IDs don't match between 2 instances
I’m used to posting links from the author's instance, I don’t think it should change anything
Horse shit, there's a few regular commentors that do their best with every question they can, and even more that contribute irregularly but in good faith, even if they fall short of accuracy.
