Welcome to TIFU.

This community will stand as a tribute to the fuck up in all of us. We all do something stupid from time to time, this is your place to share and laugh about it with folks on the internet!

Da Rules:

  1. Use proper formatting

A. All titles must start with TIFU.

B. All posts must have a TL;DR at the end. Some of us are too lazy to read your story, sorry.

C. Use the NFSW Tag, if a Post isn't Appropriate in General but still follows the rules. (Sex stories and etc.)

  1. Posts must be about you.

  2. Must be your fault.

  3. A few things that aren't allowed.

A. No Rape​/​minors/​bestiality. No death of animals. No glorification of major crimes.

B. Illegal activities that you glorify or giving advice on how to do something illegal.

  1. Must be actual fuckups No humblebrags or stories that have zero consequences and don't go anywhere. Eg "TIFU by sexy sex". Moderator discretion.

  2. Be civil and don't be disruptive No racism/​bigotry/​homophobia/​transphobia. No personal attacks on other users, no name-calling. No low-effort "this didn't happen" type comments.

  3. No Self Promotion No making posts with the express purpose of promoting your business/video game/porn career. Even if not mentioned within the text of the post, alluding to links on your profile is not allowed. This covers implying you will set up a stream/public link/onlyfans in the future, having set up one in the past, or anything along the lines of "upvote this comment if you want me to do this." These examples are by no means comprehensive, just don't self promote.

  4. Mod Discretion Mods have the right to supersede any rule and make removals as we see fit, which may or may not be the rules listed in this community.

MODERATORS
 

So it's like the title says. I created this community to kinda fill the void from the reddit shutdown, and have no real idea on how to moderate a community like this, especially if it ends up huge like the one on Reddit.

Seeing as I have little moderation experience, if anyone is interested in moderating for this community just lmk and I'll see about setting you up.

TL;DR - Created a potentially huge amount of work for myself that I'm super unfamiliar with.

I'd consider that a Sucess not a TIFU!!

That’s the spirit! Subbed, and I promise not to make any work for you.

Thanks for lookin' out, my man. 🙏

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Of course! How's it been so far with the influx?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm just gonna keep posting the same obnoxious shitpost, so you'll always know you can just safely delete any posts from me. I want to make your life easy :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How considerate!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You got this! It's good to try new things, especially if they're scary.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I almost did the same, I don't have such big balls like you, though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

LOL. I've got three already, but if you want to add me to the team, I'll keep an eye out for you, mostly because my cardinal rule in life is "don't be a dick".

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

good luck to the both of us!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wish your inbox the best of luck, my man. Lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

(moderating c/woooosh will definitely be interesting 🤦‍♂️)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey im in the same boat! Already up to 35 people. So far so good though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Make it 36. \[T]/

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao same, most of mine aren't super huge but there's a lot of em.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I really hope c/dataisbeautiful takes off for you. I'd love to have that content on this platform.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hopefully the pottery community doesnt get out of control... because we just did that there too. I'm sure it'll work out for everyone lmao. I feel like it'll take a long time for people to really populate these new spaces while we learn things anyway. So excited for all the new things happening!

I heard you potheads can go wild sometimes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh between the wet splattering clay and dust sticking to those unneccesary clothes we have some fun!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also don't have any experience with moderating :D but i'll give moderating a shot if you want me on the mod team :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Shabam! Knighted!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Tomorrow in TIFU...

I just did the same thing for Best Updates (BORU replacement) only to find out that Lemmy post bodies can’t be longer than 10k characters (BORU posts are frequently over that). I’m not sure how best to proceed :/

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Talk to ruud the developer of lemmy.world would be my guess. Or the developer of whatever instance your using. And btw can you link the community?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It’s [email protected]. I think that’s how you link it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Totally up for this if you still need more! Straight into the deep end!
