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.

MODERATORS
They're not fans of democracy though...
They like to claim that they are. I wonder if that’s why they’re so opposed to LGBTQ people. When we say “I am X” we mean it, but when these types of “democracy lovers” say “I am/support X” it’s a facade.
Maybe they’re so used to that kind of claim being a lie, that they project that on everyone else.
You're not kindacool.
I just explained why people lie like Leon talks about. No denying anyons sexuality. Explaining why people are pos. 🤷🏻♀️
Edit: BTW you will find exactly 0 posts where I "deny soneones sexuality" in my entire post history, and there is a reason for that.
I'm pro LGBT+, I'm pro Ukraine, pro democracy and I don't vote in the american elections (shocker, I'm not american). I wonder where you got your idea from.
There were some people screaming "gEnOcIdE" (yes, it takes a 'c') if you wasn't pro their side but that does not make me anything. So bizarre calling some random person on the internet "pro genicide" without further explanation. I mean why?
You're against the unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine that uses genocidal tactics, thus you are against the unjustifiable invasion of Palestine with the goal of genocide, especially the West Bank which explicitly opposes Hamas?
I know my history when it comes to russia and the soviet union, I grew up in a country squeezed between the NATO and the WARSAW pact, I have met lots of people from russia and the invaded satellite states, and I know enough to not let a tankie use the kremlin lies and playbook.
What do I know about the middle east? Not very much, Kissinger seems to have betrayed them all, hamas is a terrorist organisation, Israel were "the good guys" but now israel seems to be a wannabe dictorial terrorist state.
I of course opposed israels genocidal tactics, but that doesn't mean I support hamas or iran or anyrhing else, it seems to be a real horrible mess. A mess some people try to use in discussions for "clout". Like if you are not this then you are that and I can insult you. That's just crappy IMO.
I do oppose the unjustified invasion of ukraine, and with my limited knowledge, it seems that israel is indeed using the same types of tactics.
It's always those old white men who has to dominate and kill everyone in the end.
I hope they'll all have peace and that Netanyahu and Putin and atheir cronies all gets thrown off their thrones.
Fair enough
