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.

What is "plasticine"? When I search for it I get a plastic dough.
It is, it's material used to make those claymation movies like Wallace and Gromit.
Plasticine Action is a group of artists against AI generated animation and art.
Why would someone get arrested for that?
Presumably because the cop mistook it for "Palestine action", or an intentional misspelling thereof, and the British government is apparently so scared of those guys that they've declared them to legally be terrorists.
Yeah they threw paint on some RAF planes as a protest against the UK govt supplying arms to Israel to kill children with, so obviously that means they're dangerous terrorists 🙄 I hate this country sometimes
Imagine if they threw some paint in a crowded city center! Hundreds of women and children, slain by paint, strewn across the streets!
We should add paint to the controlled substances list, require a licence to buy it, and require a Police Officer to be present during its use to ensure it is used in accordance with the state.
Its ease of use as a terrorist weapon of mass destruction is just too high to ignore, which is obviously why Labour took the drastic action of placing this otherwise mundane protest group into the top tier Terrorist list.
Here in the US, the second amendment means that paint is readily available at a hardware store. Most big ones have a dedicated counter with a specialist to mix the paint to your exact order! You don't even need ID!
Ah, I see, thank you :3
They're overthrowing big tech one frame at a time.
Yikes.
??? Did you reply to the wrong person?
