I don’t even know what to think about this one. I’m not angry, more confused than anything. There’s only one mod there so i asked them, and they said “It’s against policy. It’s the abbreviations policy.”

I see no such policy anywhere, so who knows what’s going on. Is it only the NYT that can’t be abbreviated? What about the US? Is LOL forbidden too? And if so, why are we forbidden from laughing there!

They didn’t even remove the comment.
The mod is user qrstuv. Maybe the only abbreviation allowed is when they say one? That’s a power trip!

    This is kind of my favorite thing on Lemmy right now.

    I used to be part of forums where like one forum, the mod was a person who demanded sources with every comment. So you’d write everything like you’re submitting it to a college professor.

    Then another forum, the mod wants everyone to roleplay as their forest animals.

    Reddit made us forget how to be weird.

      If they had simply said at any point “I’m messing around” or taking a piss, I’d have 180’d and laughed. But they won’t say anything useful. So it’s whatever.
