0 posts on the community, and community owner hasn’t been active in 6 months. I think this could help people who don’t feel good with how they look.
My goal is to allow image posts every 3 months, so if someone wants to do a progress post, they can - with the safety net that we won’t let 2 people spam the community.

We don’t need this kind of nonsense here on Lemmy. These types of communities do nothing but damage people’s self esteem.
There’s a lot of harmful online community ideas. Would we rather the people that like them enjoy them here on the Fediverse, or somewhere else online?
Because they will make them and enjoy them, one way or another.
This makes no sense. Ideally these communities would not exist anywhere, but thinking that having it here would make it better is silly. If you want to participate in the destruction of someone’s self esteem, that’s a you problem, but I don’t think Lemmy is the place for that.
Hell, the idea of assigning a rating system to a subjective set of data doesn’t function anyway.
Lemmy, and the wider Fediverse, is a project aimed at decentralizing social media. What does and does not belong on it cannot really be any one person’s opinion. Or even a majority opinion, really, since it’s set up at the structural level to allow any individual to make an Instance.
No.
It’s cute and all, that you think you can just “no” things you don’t like, but that’s how it works, how its set up. That’s why we have defederation.
Lemmy is not actually governable, like reddit is with a single ownership structure and team of admins working for them.
Still no. You defending such an awful idea for a new community says more than I ever could about the quality of human being you are.
It doesn’t matter how awful people or a community is. They’re all always going to be somewhere around, poisoning something. The Fediverse is better able to handle it all, though.
Don’t think of Lemmy as a Reddit competitor. Think of the Fediverse as a competitor for the whole internet 2.0 thing. Almost all of it, trying to improve on what encourages it to be so rotten sometimes.
Somewhere else online. Would you invite shitty people to your house party just so you could have them party under your roof instead of Zuckerberg’s?
Only if it becomes photoshops of people in crates.
not necessary, you are a 10/10, dear reader
We actually use the Tufnel scale here. 11/11.
Because it has been clinically proven that people on Lemmy are 10% more attractive.
…why don’t you just make 10 more attractive?
…this one goes to eleven.
Nah. Whoever you are you’re probably average. Be honest and accept it. This superficial crap sets the standard that being ugly is so bad you should deny reality.
It’s not factual reality, it’s people’s opinions, which vary over the whole globe. What is or is not attractive to an individual varies depending on the environment they grew up in.
For instance, some cultures think being skinnier is more attractive, where others think being heavier is more attractive. So which is it?
It’s not factual reality, it’s people’s opinions
This is a massive cop out. You can reduce everything to blithe meaningless with this sort of thinking. Like, you can literally say that human shit tastes great.
If you’ve got no chin and a hunchback, you’re going to have to go looking for the exceptions before you find anyone who likes the look. If you run around convincing yourself you’re a 10 out of 10 you’re just lying to yourself.
I’m afraid reality really is that subjective, when it comes to opinion things like like/don’t like. You could approach it statistically if you want, but your results will vary widely depending on what kinds of people you ask.
If that’s a cop out, then all I have to say is life can be a pain in the ass sometimes, where shit isn’t always easy to figure out.
Combination hug box and troll farm? Count me in!
Why take over? You know you can host your own instance and create your own, right?
Why do something for free, when you can spend your time AND money on it
Doing it right takes time. Time I didn’t have.
Hosting it here, with their army of volunteers, is much easier.
