HELLO WORLD! (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by CantSt0pPoppin@lemmy.world to c/world@lemmy.world

Hey everyone!

I'm so excited to be the new top mod of this community. I've been a part of this community since the beginning, and I've seen how much it's grown and evolved. I'm grateful to the previous top mod for creating this space, and I'm honored to be taking over.

On Twitter, I'm @CantStopPoppin, and on Reddit, I'm u/CantStopPoppin. I've been active on both platforms for over 5 years, and I've always been a strong advocate for diversity, inclusion, and quality content.

I'm planning to make a few slight changes to the community, but I want to get your input first. I want this to be a place where everyone feels welcome, regardless of their background or beliefs. That means that hate speech, racism, anti-LGBTQ+, and trolling will not be tolerated.

I believe that our differences make us stronger together. We can learn from each other and create something truly special. I'm committed to listening to the community and working together to make this happen.

I'll be leaving this post unlocked for 72 hours so that you can share your thoughts and suggestions. I'll also be going through the comments to answer any questions you may have.

Here are a few specific things I'm thinking about changing:

  • I'd like to make the community more welcoming to people from all walks of life. This means being more inclusive of people from different cultures, religions, and LGBTQ communities.
  • I'd like to make the community more focused on quality content. This means promoting posts that are well-written, informative, and thought-provoking.
  • I'd like to make the community more active. This means encouraging people to participate in discussions and share their thoughts and ideas.

I'm open to other suggestions, so please let me know what you think. I'm excited to work with you to make this community even better!

A few things to note:

  • YouTube and Twitter will not be allowed in the community. Only legitimate news sources will be accepted.
  • There may be a "Pundit Tuesday" in the future, but not at this time.
  • Fox News local stations will be allowed, but their syndicated stations and talking heads will not be accepted due to their many dishonest reports and lawsuits.

I'm excited to hear your thoughts!

Thank you again for helping to create, nurture, and seed this community. I'm looking forward to working with you to make it even better!

This post will stay unlocked for 72 hours for an AMA. I will try to answer as many questions as I can, but it may take some time.

I hope to see you all in the comments!

Sabbah is my moderator,

Your moderator? This is very hierarchical. Do you think of this sub as something that belongs to you?

You talk about yourself a lot, mention this being an AMA...

It's all so strange coming from someone who - from their own lengthy (and unasked for) description - sounds like the most enlightened person

I hope this answers your question. Thank you for your interest in the community!

all that over the top positive corporate talk. the generic diversity comments without any context. it's so surreal.

There should be a law forcing AIs to reveal what they are when asked a specific question.
Stop good_person subroutine, lower egotistical tendencies by 80%

You're right, I sounded like a corpo rat and that was awful. Just know the intent was to sound optimistic but sure it sounded like a doctor telling a patient they have cancer in a clown costume and hat was not my intention at all. This right here is the type of input that is needed to ensure that the community thrives! Someone else pointed out that the way I used pronouns was weird and kind of dicksh so just know I'm only human and there is a lot to be learned, thank you for your feedback!

I'm happy the data you've gathered from this sample has allowed you to improve your social skills, fellow human. And in a happy, inclusive, lgbtq friendly manner. Remember, we are stronger together!

I know this is a little more information than you asked for, but I want to make sure that you did not get lost on your way.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
