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.

Real rule:
You can drop them all together, coz all clothes are so low quality, those won't last long enough to lost colors during mixed washings.
Me who wears clothes that are 12+ years old:
also don't use a clothes dryer and your stuff will last way longer
Why do dryers lower the lifespan of clothing?
The heat, as @87Six@lemmy.zip already mentioned, won't help - not to mention the inside of some dryers can have a cheese grater effect on the clothing tumbling around inside of it.
Thx for the explanation
Afaik heat doesn't really do good to textiles in general
I just use a clothes dryer on low or, sometimes, even extra low. There’s an even an air-dry option that works better than just leaving things to hang.
This goes especially for humid climates. My stuff would never in the summer and even in the winter it would take a long time. The button-ups and pants that I do hang to dry take forever to be ready.
Then there is someone like me that still wears 5 to 10 year old clothes that still look fresh 🙈
where did you buy them?
I buy mostly Dutch and Belgian brands from a local store. For example brands like Soci3ty, Zilton, Blue Industry.
You can probably do the same near your location, find some local qualitative brands. Usually these are too small to gamble with questionable quality, so they will usually ensure higher quality standards than the mass producers. Meanwhile you also support some local businesses, which is nice in this day and age.
Some additions.
You can mix colors, just don't add white clothes, especially when the color clothes are new.
