Join our Matrix community space! #sonic:pawb.social [https://matrix.to/#/#sonic:pawb.social] Welcome to c/sonic on pawb.social, the largest Sonic the Hedgehog community on the fediverse! Come and discuss the radical blue blur and his friends! 1. Be respectful c/sonic encourages discussion, but all interactions must remain respectful. Harassment, trolling, drama, shipshaming, or any offensive/bigoted content (e.g., racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia) are not allowed. If you encounter harassment, report it instead of engaging. Responding with similar behavior may result in moderation action. Constructive criticism is welcome, but if it’s not respectful, don’t post it. 2. No sexually explicit content Pornographic or sexually explicit content is prohibited. Non-explicit NSFW content must be tagged appropriately. Moderators may remove or restrict content deemed too suggestive. 3. Stay on topic All posts must be related to the Sonic franchise. This includes the games, comics, movies, TV series, fan content, etc. 4. Credit creators Always credit original artists in the title and link to the source in the post body or comments. If the source cannot be found, explain your efforts. Respect creators’ repost policies. Do not claim others’ work as your own - this may result in a ban. 5. Spoilers Use spoiler tags for content released within the past two weeks. 6. Reposts Avoid reposting recent or commonly shared content. Moderators decide what counts as a repost. 7. No AI Content AI-generated content is not allowed. We support human creators. 8. No Spam Spam includes repetitive posts, copy-pasted comments, or low-effort content. Repeated violations may lead to a ban.

Requesting because while it's seemingly the biggest Sonic community on Lemmy, it lacks rules, and the moderator been inactive for 3 years.

I plan to replace the broken icon and banner, add some reasonable rules, and hopefully help grow the Sonic community on the fediverse :)

I am also quite active, so I can keep an eye on how things are going and making sure nothing goes wrong.

I have previous moderation experience in the commet.chat Matrix space, so I have a good idea of what needs to be done.

I approve. You're a moderator Ollie!

I've definitely been inactive, so I'm glad someone wants to take the Sonic community forward!

Awesome! If you're gonna see this, I do have a few things I'd like to run by you, considering you originally made the community. Can I DM you here, or on Matrix or something?
