Welcome to Pet Peeves, where the little things that annoy you are welcome. Ever
notice the thousands of posts and comments out there that just grind your gears?
You always want to say something about how much whatever it is sucks, and you
hate it. But, then you’re going off topic and get people mad at you. Well, don’t
do that. Come here instead! Tell us about your pet peeve! — Rules are simple 1:
Do not link to comments or posts elsewhere. This ain’t power tripping bastards,
we aren’t here to judge users or mods, we’re here to vent a little spleen about
the minor annoyances of life. 2: IF screen shots are used, they must have any
and all user names obscured fully, and any community names as well. Like already
said, this isn’t about going after anyone or anywhere in specific, it’s about us
having a peeve. 3: Wheaton’s law is in effect. Don’t be a dick. It ain’t cool,
and it won’t be allowed to stay up. Fair warning ahead of time, mods make the
call as to what is and isn’t dickish. Complaining about it won’t get you
anywhere. If it’s a misunderstanding, so be it, but the dickish comment will
still be gone because if one person reads it as dickish, more probably would
too. So go back and rewrite whatever it was. 4: If it isn’t obvious, bigotry is
inherently dickish. Doesn’t matter if it’s blatant or dog whistles, don’t do it,
you’ll get immediately banned. 5: Cursing is absolutely allowed, but not cursing
at people. Motherfuckers may well be annoying, but when you specify an
individual as a motherfucker, that’s not likely to end in a friendly way. You
dig, motherfuckers? — Post guidelines Try to remember that any pet peeve you
have is likely something other beings do with no ill intent. So try to keep it
about you, not them. Explain why it annoys you, rather than just ranting about
other people, there’s already communities for that kind of thing. Example: Turn
signals being left on. Annoying as hell, because now you don’t know if they’re
really signaling to turn, if it’s something they didn’t know they did, etc, so
now you have to pay extra attention instead of focusing on your own driving and
navigation. Don’t just complain about how stupid the people must be, how
inconsiderate. Keep the focus on the inconvenience itself. — Feel free to refer
folks here when they go off topic about their peeves, that’s part of why we’re
here :)
After humming and hawing about it ever since the Reddit API migration, I decided that if I wanted to see it on Lemmy I really should make it so.
One of the things that I missed the most from Reddit was the strength training subs, as they were great motivation to stay consistent, and the occasional program parties were a lot of fun. A bunch of folks trying to get through super squats and drinking a gallon of whole milk per day made for some pretty interesting workout reports.
I have not traditionally been a community builder in the past, but I believe there is big a gap in the Fediverse where strength training should be.
Its just getting off the ground so too early to say how its going. But I have picked up a lot of valuable info from this sub and the others on the sidebar, thanks for that
Nice initiative! I’ve just subscribed :-)
