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.

Honey, yellowish-blue IS GREEN 💛💚💙
The way I mentioned, yellow and blue don't blend to make that sort of green. Comes out a lot duller than the green shown in the drawing:
Maybe it's just because I'm on my phone but your image doesn't have nearly enough yellow to match Mama Yellow. And your blue is brighter than Papa Blue.
By your method Baby Pink ❤️🩷🤍 would be a lot redder. Clearly the mothers add much more to the equation than you're allowing them.
I believe you made an additive color gradient, which I'm not confident will accurately reflect a subtractive gradient of the same pairing.
Getting color values from the original comic, pencil one lets through 4% of red, 34% of green, and 90% of blue. Pencil 2's colors let through 100% of red, 82% of green, and 12% of blue. If we overlay those on top of each other, we get a result of 4% red, 28% green, and 11% blue, which looks like this:
If we give each half the thickness, absorbtion is exponential so (the proportion of light let through)^0.5 = the proportion of light let through half the thickness. Doing this to all of the color channels before multiplying the proportions, we get this color:
Doing this for every ratio of thicknesses between the parents, we get this gradient, very similar to what @Bubs@lemmy.zip got above:
However none of this has much of any actual influence on what it would look like IRL as real life colors are made from an infinite spectrum and not 3 channels. There are ways that the absorbtion spectrum could look that could produce some wildly different and potentially way more saturated results when blending between the two.
edit: oh and also this assumes the colors are from pigments that only absorb light above a perfectly reflective white surface, with nothing that reflects light over that surface. If each pigment was completely reflective and let no light through, and the surface was just mottled between the two at a microscopic scale you'd just get a linear blend of the final colors (.5*a+.5*b), looking like this:
edit2: augh I forgot to gamma correct anything I redid the math all in a linear color space to actually be correct now
