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.
No spam.
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.

'some'
Can't tell if you are being wilfully obtuse. Look at the math: https://www.cnet.com/home/energy-and-utilities/calculate-how-many-solar-panels-you-need-to-charge-your-ev/
A small ioniq 6 requires 6 solar panels dedicated to the car. And that assumes charging through the day. Want to charge at night? Now you need a decent battery.
F-150? Now you need 12 panels. And a bigger battery. Plus your home energy needs, throw on a few more panels for that.
I'm frustrated by generic appeal to solar without consideration for the realities of same.
Though I completely agree with your bike comment.
And how much investment do you need in fossil fuel to refuel your car? In the event of a societal breakdown, gas will not be brought to you, or we could count on electric lines also working.
6-12 solar panels are still cheaper and more versatile than an oil well and refinery combo.
in the event of societal breakdown it's gonna be far easier to siphon some gas tanks than to rig up an EV with a scavenged solar power setup, a working inverter, and sufficient battery bank. if it were me i'd start with the former and try and work towards the latter before all the gas goes stale. all that said cybertruck would be at the very bottom of the list, i'd rather use literally anything else in any and all scenarios.
Yeah, but those are finite and already in the possession of other people, and there are tons of gas guzzlers consuming it at all times. How long do you think those tanks will last? The sun won't go out.
But we agree, cybertruck is to big, heavy, not mobile enough and too high maintenance for this. E-bikes all the way to be honest for personal transport, e-kei trucks to haul cargo.
i guess i was a bit unclear. my strat would be to leverage the greater availability of gas and ICE vehicles to get by in the short term until i could scavenge enough gear to power an EV. because yeah you're totally right, eventually all the gas will get burned or go bad but the sun ain't going nowhere.
Yeah that makes total sense.
I think it's just differing cultural expectations, here every second house has some panels but I am not sure I could get gas if the power went out because all the stations are unmanned. Also, most cars here seem to be electric.
yeah i'm in the rural US, there's panels and EVs here and there but the combustion engine is still king for now
Gasoline sitting in a tank goes bad in 6 months. Even with a stabilizer you're only looking at 2 years before degradation is an issue. I'd think an EV with solar would last longer even with battery degradation to worry about.
yeah but it's more available, so leverage the availability of gasoline and combustion-powered vehicles to get by and scavenge in the short term, until you have a usable EV + solar charger set up for the long term. i wouldn't go straight for the EV right off because without a charging setup ready you're hosed as soon as its battery loses charge but you're right, an EV be useful for far longer if the grid disappeared.
