Rules and Guidelines
1. No Bigotry
Including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
2. Be Civil
Argue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.
3. No Porn
This instance is not made to host porn communities. You're free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.
4. Use the NSFW tag
Use your common sense: if you wouldn't want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the
5. No Ads / Spam
This instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn't be to only advertise, make it natural.
6. Bot account
If you are the operator of a "bot" account, make sure to flag is as such in the account's settings.
7. Right to privacy
Do NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.
8. Report abuse
The report function isn't labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn't mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.
9. Impersonation
Don't make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn't.

lemmy community for writerdecks!
What is a writerDeck?
A writerDeck is a device dedicated specifically and solely to writing. Technically, a typewriter is an analog writerDeck. But usually we mean some sort of computerized word processor, such as the Astrohaus Freewrite or the Alphasmart Neo, to name two of the most popular mass-produced versions. But these tend to be either too expensive or too limited for many writers, so many of us build our own.
The term “writerDeck” comes from “cyberDeck”. People argue over what counts as a cyberDeck, but in practice it basically means “a weird cobbled together computer, usually without a mouse and usually homemade, often with a retro-futuristic, cyberpunk vibe.” So a writerDeck is just a cyberDeck dedicated to writing.

Welcome to the flexitarian community on the Lemmy.ca Lemmy instance!
Flexitarianism is a diet similar to vegetarianism. Flexitarianism differs from veganism in that animal byproducts are allowed, and differs from both veganism and vegetarianism in that it allows for some minor flexibility in the consumption of meat products.
Reasons for following a flexitarian diet may differ from person to person. Perhaps one wants to transition from a typical diet to a vegetarian one, using flexitarianism as a means to make the transition with more ease. Perhaps one lives in an area where vegetarian or vegan substitutes are lacking, using flexitarianism to reduce meat consumption as options become available on the market. Perhaps one wants to live a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, but uses flexitarianism as a means to combat food waste at public events.
Whatever reasoning it may be, anybody following a flexitarian diet or curious about flexitarianism is welcome to participate in this community barring a few rules:
-
All Lemmy.ca instance rules are to be abided by at all times
-
Be respectful to others engaging in the community. A flexitarian diet is a valid diet, and the differing reasons in following a flexitarian diet are to be embraced, not shamed.
-
Debate between different diet types, while welcome, should be kept in a respectful manner. Personal attacks and judgements, as well as general invalidation or self-aggrandizing, are not welcome here.
More rules are likely to be added as the community, and activity within it, grows.
