Hobby Drama@lemmy.worldEnglish · 1 year ago

Weekly Hobby Round Up

This is a weekly catch-all post for casual hobby talk for the community. This post is for breaking drama (the 14 day rule will not apply to this post), news, chat, drama that may not fit the rules or is too short for a post write-up, etc. Bring your own popcorn!

RULES

Be civil
Follow lemmy.world’s posting rules
Don’t link directly to pirate or malware sites, use screenshots instead
No vagueposting (changing names and not naming bands/fandoms/etc is fine, but if your post is so vague no one can understand the drama it will be deleted)
Explain any acronyms and hobby terms (not everyone here is in your hobby!)
Ctrl+F the post to check your topic wasn’t already posted before posting
For any issues use the report feature

Happy hobby drama-ing!

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !hobbydrama@lemmy.world

A community for the drama, big and small, in hobby groups.

RULES

BE KIND. No bigotry, flaming, trolling, etc. Do not brigade (remember we are outside observers)!
NO DOXXING. Do not post addresses, real names, etc of individuals. Exceptions are made for public figures (eg celebrities) and companies, but keep it relevant.
14 DAY RULE. When making a post drama should be concluded for at least 14 days to make sure it’s fully concluded and give a complete scope to posts. The exception to this is the weekly Hobby Round Up megathread which this rule does not apply to.
INCLUDE CONSEQUENCES. When posting include what the drama means for the community. “The state of the game is worse off and players are leaving” is better than “and everyone was mad the end”.
KEEP OUT BIAS. If you are one of the main participants in the drama don’t post, this isn’t a community for validation seeking. If you’re a peripheral (eg you’re in the hobby and have an opinion, but aren’t the one the drama is about, leading a petition drive, etc) posting is fine. Strive to be objective in your write-up.
NSFW. If a hobby or drama is NSFW mark the post as such.
REPOSTS. Reposts should be clearly marked with [REPOST] in the title and a link to the original post at the top or bottom of the post. Posts that don’t follow this rule will be warned and then removed if the requested changes aren’t made.
TITLE GUIDELINES. Titles should include the following tags as appropriate:

[REPOST] for reposts
[HISTORY] for drama that does not include hobbyists (eg industry drama such as the financial fallout of a game company’s decisions)
[GENERAL HOBBY] music, apparel, video games, TV shows, knitting, social media group, etc
[SPECIFIC HOBBY] is an optional tag if you’d like to be more specific (eg Taylor Swift, Game of Thrones, Gucci, World of Warcraft, etc)

An example title would be: [Video Games][Old School Runescape] The hat scandal OR [Repost][History][Music] Fyre Festival controversies
