Cool, well, if it’s a real rule and not total nonsense you should probably get to work banning every single person in this comment section who is doing the thing you’re telling me isn’t allowed. Otherwise, I don’t know, it might be seen as obviously a bullshit rule used to selectively stop specific discussions.
I’m working on it. It was clean when I shut down for the night last night, checking the comments now, but I have to get through a buttload of replies first. 😉
I get the rules. What I don’t get is that most moderators think that their job is entirely one of enforcement. It’s not, it is moderating where necessary, which also means taking no action if none is required.
Which is pretty much what you seem to be doing, to be fair. That’s a good thing. It’s a human’s role to determine whether a line has been crossed or if they might just be dancing along the middle.
Jesus fucking Christ. We’re really doing this high road virtue signaling bullshit here, too? Cool. Continue being part of the problem, I guess.
If you don’t like it, make your own community. It’s a stated rule here.
Is there a rule about talking about disliking it? I don’t see one in writing, but it seems like it wouldn’t matter.
Nope, no rule against it so long as you continue being civil about it. Shading over into personal attacks would break rule 3.
Some communities have a rule against meta commentary, which this would fall under, but we don’t have that rule here.
Which is weird because !world@lemmy.world DOES have that rule and both were set up by the same person. (Rule #6 in World)

What the hell is “meta commentary”?
Exactly this, arguing about the community rather than the topic of the post.
So you are telling me that there are many ways of sticking rags in my mouth because a community needs to be protected from other voices. Gotcha!
Not this community, but others, yes, absolutely. Always why you want to read the sidebar and see what rules are in place.
