RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

MODERATORS
Whether a ball hitting the line should be in or out. You'd think it would be simple, like tennis, but nooooo. Pickleball authorities want to have every line be 'in' except for the kitchen line... but hitting/touching the line does mean it's in, as in 'in the kitchen,' which means you're out.
Then there was the whole rule change about 'let' serves, and the pros straight up ignoring the rules and playing the old way.
:/ ugh. Playing a relatively recent sport can be frustrating, because they're still trying to change rules to make the game better, compared to older sports where things have been set in stone.
