Hello World!

We've made some changes today, and we'd like to announce that our Code of Conduct is no longer in effect. We now have a new Terms of Service, in effect starting from today(October 19, 2023).

The "LAST REVISION DATE:" on the page also signifies when the page was last edited, and it is updated automatically. Details of specific edits may be viewed by following the "Page History" reference at the bottom of the page. All significant edits will also be announced to our users.

The new Terms of Service can be found at https://legal.lemmy.world/

In this post our community mods and users may express their questions, concerns, requests and issues regarding the Terms of Service, and content moderation in Lemmy.World. We hope to discuss and inform constructively and in good faith.

It seems like simply reading the post and having an understanding of how federation works would address most of the points you've made.

The remaining:

What are user rights?

Anything that's not restricted? That's why we have rules and not an allowances list.

And if you have an issue with humans moderating, oh well, good luck.

I know perfectly well how federation works. The core of my questions have nothing to do with federation, they're about people and how they'll #### rules to death.

But since you brought it up: you may want to also consider the implications of mods from federated instances making decisions about content on LW communities.

What are user rights?

Anything that's not restricted?

As I said, if you want to establish this as a legal document (often called "Terms of Service")... then you may really want to check with a lawyer on that.

And if you have an issue with humans moderating, oh well, good luck.

Maybe I wasn't clear; this isn't about me having an issue, this is about you missing a few issues. Take it or leave it, I have no stake in this.

Allowances? They're talking about guarantees.

[–] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A lemmy bill of rights? Interesting... what kind of stuff would you expect to see on such a document?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Not my idea, but let's make it a Constitution while we're at it. Dibs on the first Supreme Court seat.
