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We've made some changes today, and we'd like to announce that our Code of Conduct is no longer in effect.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.

No problem. 👍

Do not engage in content manipulation such as posting spam content, vote manipulation through using several user accounts or consistently down-voting a user. Vote for the content, not for the person.

I think all of the different front ends that exist for Lemmy should also take the approach that they don't display up/downvote buttons on user pages. Is there any way to make this a by-default thing for old.lemmy, etc?

Currently Lemmy UI doesn't have that capability however Kbin shows who upvoted. You can also see the number of up/down votes a post has through certain apps such as Memmy.

How many people were in charge of writing this, and manage Lemmy.world more generally?

4.0.1: You were not permanently banished from the website in the past.

Doesn't this imply that only having a temporary ban allows you to keep going on some other account? Seems like quite the loophole.

Idk, it seems pretty clear.

If you got a permaban then you’re not welcome.

The world temporary isn’t used there. There would be nothing to stop someone from just making a new account in either case. But if it were obvious someone was trying to get around that clause then it would be more than enough of a reason to swing the ban hammer.
