Don't Answer Arthur - Lemmy.🐟

Welcome to Don’t Answer Arthur! Where the ONLY RULE YOU MUST FOLLOW is to NEVER EVER EVER ANSWER ARTHUR!

No down voting Arthur (votes are viewed), no up voting Arthur, and NO RESPONDING to Arthur under any circumstances.

If you break the rules?

You get temp banned that increases by a day each time you fail and it keeps increasing the more you keep responding to him so don’t acknowledge Arthur. Just don’t. He’ll laugh in your face literally.

What do i even use this community for then ? Think of it as your everything community post memes, ask tech or lemmy questions, talk about sports, your favorite shows, books, games, anything but Arthur.

This also isn’t a community where Arthur gets to just do whatever he wants. Harass or whatever negative shit you’re thinking. Arthur will appear suddenly, politely, appearing as a friend but don’t let him fool you. That’s the trick.

(Also, Arthur has a dedicated gaming community for his video Game arguments anyways)

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
