Thank you, I really appreciate the effort to tone things down.

I want people to have the freedom be passionate in their comments and posts, and I think the community rules do a good job of allow the freedom to argue passionately. The rules do aim to avoid attacks against people themselves and groups of people.

So, while toning things down is not the primary goal, when things get aggressive it's harder for everyone to avoid ad hominem attacks.

I dont have the ability to tag it NSFW. If you edit your original post you can tag it NSFW. source: https://lemmy.world/post/463392 If you editing your post, please consider replacing your example with something that steers well clear of people's characteristics. See this section of the rules for more details: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/#1-attacks-on-users-or-groups

This comment got reported. And while trolling is not allowed. Attacking an individual is also not allowed. So I'm not sure if attacking them for being a troll is allowed.

If you think a post is trolling (ie: just trying to stir up anger rather than trying to make an argument for something), please report it. If you think a poster is serial trolling please point it out in the report.

I'm open to feedback.

Swear words are fine. Attacking people's weight (or age, sexuality, gender, etc) should be avoided.

I'll admit that there is gray area in this rule. On Lemmy there are many instances of posts mocking celebrities for different characteristics but the posts seem to be permitted if the celebrities are largely disliked.

I'll see if I can add a NSFW tag....

@Mr_No_Swearing@lemmy.zip This post was reported for fatphobia. I understand that you are using it as an example but we do want to avoid attacks on specific people or groups of people. Like you showed in your later posts, people swear at all sorts of things, like the weather, stubbing their toe, and missing the bus.

Do you mind changing the example in your original post? You can say that the example was changed at my request. Especially if you think changing the example will make the comments confusing.

Otherwise, I like your post. It's an interesting thing to think through and while it seems to be a little unpopular, my thoughts in the shower are often not fully thought through and would stand up poorly to the scrutiny of internet strangers.

Edit: I'm getting some down votes. I'm always open to hearing other people's thoughts if you would like to share. I make mistakes.

This post was reported for disinformation. To me this post reads like an opinion and hyperbole.

If we do assume that the post is making a factual claim; I'm not a lawyer and I don't know if voting has ever been used to claim that someone is complicit in a crime. Im open to being pointed to evidence.

Ah, thanks. Luckily the Linux ecosystem has is healthy with diversity. We can always use other distros.

Is this just a title and a picture? Am I missing the details somewhere?

Up voted, because I don't agree. I have the 2023 power or whatever it's called with the big battery.

• the double chop and twist are so fast
• wired headphones are lovely
• the battery life is the best I have had
• when you want a nice picture you can borrow an iphone 😅

This was reported because it violates the rule that the entire shower thought must be in the title. It's always worth a quick scan of a community's rules before posting.

Also didn't they pull brains out the nose for mummification?

I have heard "beaver fever"... but typing it out for the internet just makes it sound like a euphemism.

Let's keep things civil everyone.

I never had success using my phone in the shower so I'm surprised to see a summary of a legal document in a shower thoughts post.

This post got reported.

The reporters are correct, you should have the entire thought in the title, then use the body to go into detail.

For example your title could have been "life is largely random circumstance, so relax".

Shower thoughts aren't typically advice for other people, unless you take showers with other people to save water, but it's nice advice and it embodies the positive community that the code of conduct is designed to encourage.

Thank you. Makes perfect sense now.

I don't follow

After reading the sidebar, I'm not sure this counts as an article. Happy to remove it.

It sounds like you have a lot of experiences that others could learn from, but you will likely push people away if you attack them directly (calling them extremist) rather than only attacking their positions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

One tactic that I like is asking them questions that lead them to point out the flaws in their own arguments. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method

Would you be more or less likely to learn from someone that calls you an extremist?

This post was reported for transphobia. Specifics weren't given. It seems like you use the term "female" to mean someone that was assigned female at birth. I'm not sure if language is changing in this area and I certainly don't know technical definitions. Female does seemed to be used as a gender identity as well. For example the opening paragraph here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_woman

I think many cultures are learning how to be more welcoming to people from all walks of life, which is great, and conversations like this one are good for discussing some of the nuance.

Please keep things civil and assume the best of other's intentions. We are all learning. We are all human.

Edit: spelling

Does anyone else think the thumbnail looks like a llama with laser eyes?

Or maybe we could have a rule like "Any post that's greater than 12hrs old and has less than 30% approval gets removed" I like this because it gives voting more power for shaping the community and it's objective.
