YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

This isn't your college or work place break room. If people are saying something you disagree with you can just say it and you won't be fired or ostracized for it. Yeah, people will probably get angry and say mean things to you but those are just words which can be ignored. Offence is taken, not given.

This is mostly for the lurkers who upvote unpopular opinions but don't comment. You can speak up - you're not alone.

Not on Lemmy though.

Also, Pro Tip:

Sometimes you can occasionally make a comment you know will be taken negatively so that you can update your block list of people who choose to leave mean replies. It helps to phrase it in a way that will create an emotional response. This is helpful for removing these people from your feed, because usually they leave negative comments like that on every reply they make. Very rarely do I find a person that is nice in most of their comments leaving a mean one, like ever. But also it is very rare I find these kind of people in the first place anymore.

Is this official permission?

I think working is bad for human health. I don't get when people cheer about "creating workplaces"; that's the worst that could happen. I think that humans will be kept as workforce for the economy as long as it is needed. So, economic growth leads to new workplaces and that's a bad thing. I don't get how people cherish growth.

Apart from that, there's nothing that can be done to stop growth because growth is actually a very powerful spirit that is more powerful than human intervention, so it's not like a society "chooses to grow" - that's just an unavoidable necessity in my eyes.

Also, most human workers will (!) be replaced by AI in the next 15 years or so, and that's a good thing. We need to de-normalize working for your basic human right to life, and establish Universal Basic Income - which will only be successful if enough people see that there's not so much work to be done anymore and that creating actual social welfare programs is unavoidable. I'm mostly just waiting for this development myself because I do bad (and I mean, really bad) in the workforce of today.

My favorite thing is getting downvotes with no reply. It’s like “you’re wrong! but I can’t say why!”

No shit Sherlock. Who gives an ass about upvotes or downvotes? Just call things as you see them. If we all do the same, then eventually concensus zeitgeist will be more honest to the human condition
