Request to take over /c/rateme

Rate Me - Lemmy.World

0 posts on the community, and community owner hasn't been active in 6 months. I think this could help people who don't feel good with how they look.

My goal is to allow image posts every 3 months, so if someone wants to do a progress post, they can - with the safety net that we won't let 2 people spam the community.

We don't need this kind of nonsense here on Lemmy. These types of communities do nothing but damage people's self esteem.
- There's a lot of harmful online community ideas. Would we rather the people that like them enjoy them here on the Fediverse, or somewhere else online?
  Because they will make them and enjoy them, one way or another.
  
  This makes no sense. Ideally these communities would not exist anywhere, but thinking that having it here would make it better is silly. If you want to participate in the destruction of someone's self esteem, that's a you problem, but I don't think Lemmy is the place for that.
  Hell, the idea of assigning a rating system to a subjective set of data doesn't function anyway.
  
  Somewhere else online. Would you invite shitty people to your house party just so you could have them party under your roof instead of Zuckerberg's?
Only if it becomes photoshops of people in crates.
not necessary, you are a 10/10, dear reader
- We actually use the Tufnel scale here. 11/11.
  Because it has been clinically proven that people on Lemmy are 10% more attractive.
  
  ....why don't you just make 10 more attractive?
- Nah. Whoever you are you're probably average. Be honest and accept it. This superficial crap sets the standard that being ugly is so bad you should deny reality.
  
  It's not factual reality, it's people's opinions, which vary over the whole globe. What is or is not attractive to an individual varies depending on the environment they grew up in.
  For instance, some cultures think being skinnier is more attractive, where others think being heavier is more attractive. So which is it?
Combination hug box and troll farm? Count me in!
Why take over? You know you can host your own instance and create your own, right?
- Why do something for free, when you can spend your time AND money on it
- Doing it right takes time. Time I didn't have.
  Hosting it here, with their army of volunteers, is much easier.
