If the mod team sees that you are posting about plans or actually planning a banner that says “Join Lemmy” or something similar, that is fine. If you are posting about an effort that is more along the lines of “Fuck Spez” or a giant penis with a Fediverse logo, we will remove the posts or comments. You can’t plan that here. Lemmy.world admins do not want us over there making the Fediverse look bad on Reddit, and today is no exception.
It’s fine to post funny pictures of what people on Reddit have already done, but we won’t be planning anything like that here.
If we are advertising Lemmy or the Fediverse, we want to do it in a way that shows we are (on the whole) less toxic than the Reddit spaces we left behind. Some Reddit users may see the “fuck Spez” as a glowing endorsement of Lemmy but others who are looking for a place to discuss things in a more civilized way may not. Those who are likely to both seek out and remain on Lemmy.world once they find us are also likely to fall in the second group, so it’s best to be careful.
I don’t know, saying fuck spez doesn’t seem toxic, it just seems like we are affected by those decision. I don’t think most of us hate spez personally, but we do hate his decisions.
