That, or, hear me out, the owners of these publishers are pushing an agenda to shape the public narrative around certain issues.

Deflect from real issues, divide the people to weaken them and keep them entertained.

Ohh how often i hear "Revolution is so bloody, you would not want to witness one". Ohh is it as bloody as corporations milking people dry around the world, having the blood of millions on their hand? Not even gonna talk about peaceful revolutions. Another classic "We will stand up when it gets too bad". Ohh like in north korea? When exactly is bad enough? When corporations have absolute control and surveilance (can't be too long with Palantir grabbing Data from more and more citizens)?

People HATE talking about global warming and the rise of fascism. Like i do not mean online. But have you tried talking about this irl? I get shut down so fast i could explode. Everytime. But what grinds my gears most? That i KNOW i am not doing enough. That i myself sit in that comfy seat at my comfy, nonsense-job. While injustice grows all around me and i can for the love of god not find the people i can fight together with.

I havent seen a lot of people die quickly and violently.

I wouldn't say it's, like, fun? To watch I mean. Never died of violence before, can't say for sure. Non-death ultra-violence and dismemberment is pretty anodyne in the momemt, though.

But compared to watching someone die slow, get ground down, die of festering preventable illness within sprinting distance of a modern hospital, infected woulds mishealed bones tumors the size of... Yeah im down to watch any number of cops and landlords and ceo's get turned to pasta sauce if it means that never happens again. Hell, if it means that gets reduced by 10%.

There are some smells a living thing should not produce.

Climate change is pretty grim too.

Also the fascists are gonna murder me. So idk maybe im just petty and selfish but i would like them to die first, and in a spectacular exemplary manner.

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.
