Light Discord said something similar but to my interpretation it more boiled down to "please no Lizzie talk or memes because it breaks FR TOS on politics" - does anyone have the actual Plague announcement on hand? I can try to grab the Light one later if people want it and someone else hasn't by then.
@/everyone Hiya pups, Today’s announcement is a sad one. If you haven’t looked at world news today, you may want to so you don’t find out massive geopolitical news from a Flight Rising server.
The Queen of England has passed away.
We understand that many of you won’t care about this, but to protect those who do find this death sad, we must ask that no memes about her death be posted. None. Not even the one that you think is actually funny.
If you wish to have a conversation with someone about her death and the effect it will have, please take those outside the server into DM’s and/or group chats.
We are not going to ban mention of her death, but please be respectful if you do. This will affect many people in more ways than you think.
Thank you all for understanding, and we hope you are all doing well.
+ Guys, stop reacting with the crab. It’s not appropriate, thank you.
++ We are removing the crossed out british flag react Anyone who still re-adds this react after the mods have deleted it will be receiving a strike
why are so many people getting mad over us making fun of a cousin-loving, racist imperialist? name like 3 good things she's done to better the world lmfao
People are literally unable to feed their kids and will likely freeze to death in the winter because the parasitic monarchy isn't using their wealth to pay for the funeral, but is using tax payer money.
But sure, no being happy about her death bc some fuckin Britaboo might be sad :((((
is it *actually* necessary for flight discords to follow FR's no politics rule? bc water flight's discord does have an (opt-in) current events channel and it doesn't seem to be an issue.
i would def be interested in seeing the light flight announcement if you get a chance to grab it later!
couple of days late, but light's was pretty straightforward.
"In light of the queens death I’m asking you guys keep respectful and remember our rule on political conversation. First and foremost she was a person and it’s not the most respectful thing for us to be making fun or jabs at her death, that aside she was a political figure which means those jokes could stir an actual argument. To emphasize, No Political Conversation."
Which of course, is leaning towards the same vibe as plague, but was pretty swiftly followed up with: "Regarding the prior announcement; upon reflection we realised that being respectful or not is a political position we did not mean to take. A reminder of the rules was put out due to the "no politics" rule being broken rather soon afterwards. The LFD being a Flight Rising server follows FR ToS and thus mirrors their policies, which is posted below. Thank you for your understanding."
which in their defense the very first thing in the discord posted about her was "LIZZY'S FUCKING DEAD LMAOOOO" which is actually pretty funny but the argument started almost immediately.
