Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.
No threats or personal attacks.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Fascinating article. I like how they manage to simultaneously criticize the biden admin for: doing nothing and looking the other way, taking measures that aren't going far enough and for monitoring interstate livestock transfers, imposing restrictions on sale, mandating culling and advising PPE and testing (like they're... bad things?). It even cites CDC data on infection rates and then goes on to claim the CDC is sweeping this exact information under the rug.
The Biden admin's response was reasonable if unexciting, and was predictably opposed at every step by individual farmers and states alike. I'm honestly shocked there's only been 61 cases so far, what with the right's general attitude of "I will lick this dying chicken just cuz biden said I shouldnt".
Fucking hell that article is so openly biased it's tripping over its own feet in it's fervor to assign blame to Biden. Look, go check again and see how it uses citations. Tons of them to establish uncontested facts, almost none that support their conclusion. This feels a lot like the ground game to allow trump to blame lefties and Biden for the pandemic all while he's actively dismantling all our safeguards against it.
Don't believe me? Here:
Yeah, IDK, that description sure as fuck doesn't seem to describe Drs. Cohen and Walensky or Sec. Vilsac (even though he is a craven pos in many other ways, he sure as fuck isn't a "disease minimizer"), bidens appointees. So I'm left to wonder... who are they actually talking about? Where are these people biden had been letting sneak in to positions of agricultural or public health power? Because I'm pretty well versed in the subject matter and man, I actually cannot figure out where the fuck they're getting this from.
Something something you are one of them!
Man I wish, do you know how much better off the world would be if data wonks could get appointed to the Illiuminated Council??
Yeah, but we are mere mortals not enlightend Lizard-Man.
A friend of mine worked on statistics for COVID. Things like infection rate, mortality etc.
And I'm pretty sure he is going to commit a hate Crime if he is ever going to meet a Anti-Vaxer.
