  3. Censor any identifying info of private individuals in the posts. This includes surnames and social media handles.
  4. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  5. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum. If you wish to discuss how this community is run please comment on the stickied post so all meta conversations are in one place.
  6. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  7. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.

No idea why this is just a screenshot of a Word document but the source is this.

42_words was (is?) a user who ran a sub of the same name. Every post, including this one, had 42 words. So does this comment.

The photo is literally a screenshot of that tweet, just not in dark mode. Why on earth would it be from a word document?! Or was that addition purely so you could make your comment 42 words long? Like this one is.

The average lemmy user probably forgets that light mode exists on twitter.

i forget that twitter or whatever we call it now even exists

edit: im now calling it twix

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hey, we only accept responses that are 42 words long in this thread. You best try again.

Hmm, wonder what else I can say to get this to 42 words. Wouldn't you know it, this is just enough to make it work.

Wdym it exists? It's the only option. Dark mode is just a trickery on your mind.

light what now? what's light?

The old social media service that was ruined by a man child? I thought that was dead.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Light/dark mode aside, why didn't you include the source in the screenshot?

[–] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because lemmy’s rules state no identifying information. It’s in the side bar too.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry, I must be blind because I can't find that rule in the sidebar, nor the code of conduct for lemmy.word or lemmy.org. Regardless, I wasn't trying to call you out or anything, I was just confused by the decision.

[–] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

It was in the code of conduct by I’m getting an error message now. Here’s the view in a search engine preview

But this is what you get when you click it now.

Regardless, it’s the rule here. I’ll update the sidebar when I get a minute. But as I’m the only contributor so far (and you’re not calling me out) I don’t think it’s an urgent task for 1.30am on a weeknight!

Reminds me of the time I got into an argument on Twitter, and I asked someone for proof of something, and they sent me a screenshot of a Wordpad document. I said I was born in the afternoon, but not that afternoon.
