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.

Food production is at an all time high and yet food prices and food waste is insane. It is 100% price gouging. They would rather waste massive amounts of food and ruin topsoil and insist on shrinkflation instead of sacrificing a few dollars.
Transportation cost. I live in a city that makes a specific brand of granola bars. If I go buy a box off the shelf at the store, that box has traveled a minimum of 400km before I touch it (ignoring converters and whatnot in the production facility.)
Centralization has really fucked up the cost of things.
That, too.
I can’t remember when or where I read this so please take it with a grain of salt; but most food shortages are caused by market speculation
Islam forbids this kind of profiteering off food and stuff. I am an atheist, but the fact that stuff like this is mentioned in very old religions is telling for how far back this bullshit goes.
I believe it is mentioned under the concept of suht (if im not wrong), another thing that is atrocious in our time are taxes are based on income ie the working class has to pay. Where as, islam preaches wealth tax (in form of zakat) which would work as a good barriers against billionaires. Literally no one needs a billion dollars but somhow it is the norm that billionaires exists and pay little to no taxes but everyone else who do work have to pay ~20-40% in taxes
and so is world population, so it balances out.
We produce so much food we can feed the entirety of China on just the surplus alone.
i read somewhere that we produce about twice as much food as we consume. the rest is either thrown away, processed into biogas (biodiesel) or used very inefficiently, such as feeding livestock with it.
HOWEVER, it is important to notice that it is very important that we produce excess food.
because food is a natural product, it is subject to natural changes in food production rate.
for example, a 1815 volcano eruption in Indonesia (!) caused the sky to darken sothat less sunlight could reach the ground, which meant that plants had difficulty thriving. It led to bad harvests in places as remote as India, North America and England. Wikipedia writes:
That is true. But we need to manage waste better and have more sustainable farming. I am aware of the volcanic eruption that had far reaching effects on the world. But I thought it happened later in that century (I think the famous painting The Scream had the sky colored that way as a direct reference to the event).
