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.

    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.

          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.
