proselytizing rule
proselytizing rule
Could we add a rule to this community against posts that are clearly just using the form of a question for proselytizing?

Kind of ironic to make a post recruiting people to join your cause against proselytizing tho...
-
That did occur to me, but it such a rule were instituted and my post therefore deleted, I would be delighted.
-
It's one account that has a very good chance of being a troll...
Which, if that's what's going on, you're actively feeding...
Just block them, like I did after their very first post.

Downvote, report spam, and have a nice day.

In case anyone else had no idea what that word is as well:
proselytize verb
- : to induce someone to convert to one's faith
- : to recruit someone to join one's party, institution, or cause
Either way, I don't think a rule would be needed, I haden't really even realized there was an issue with it.

Well there's been a number of such posts lately, and I was surprised when I checked the rules and there seemed to be nothing that covered it.

In Lemmy Today (the instance out of Oregon), I think what OP is talking about fits under Rule 1 (and that's the same with .ml).
-
Like which posts, for instance?
-
Probably everything by this account

-
All proselytizing or just the religious kind?
-
All. Part of what bothers me is the dishonesty of phrasing it as a question. It strikes me as counter to the spirit of asklemmy, if the question isn't actually honestly seeking an answer. I'd be happy with a rule along those lines instead.
-
I agree. One thing that bugs me about lemmy is how intellectually dishonest and blind people are when it comes to their own biases.

For a second I thought this was a 196 post and was wondering "where is it? Where is the proselytizing shitpost?"
-
It's a form of bad faith. IDK if there's a rule against that, though.
-
Those kinds of posts stopped bothering me after I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. You should try it.
The posts have 100 down votes each. We don't need a rule tbh.
