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.

Yah breathing in smoke from a fire is generally ill advised. So is huffing gasoline. Or leaving a car running in a garage.
Generally I think the sealed container with a charcoal fire compartment underneath is a better way of doing it than a partial combustion one, simply because it is much easier to seal it up properly, and you end up getting a better mix of combustibles.
You've got a significant misunderstanding on the level I'm talking about. Incomplete pyrolysis creates cancer causing compounds in the percentage level, gasoline and smoke has it in the parts per million. It's multiple orders of magnitude more toxic. Gasoline fumes, wood smoke, and car exhaust are like breathing clean air compared to this shit.
The regulation for the average content of benzene in US gasoline is .62% and the WHO, as of march, classifies gasoline in its totality as a IARC group 1 Carcinogen.
Group 1 does not denote risk, just that it is definitely carcinogenic.
Again I’m not diminishing the fact some products of pyrolysis produced in significant amounts are very hazardous and carcinogenic, but I think you underestimate gasoline.
Industrial producer gas generally produces 5 percent aromatics by weight of feedstock with their light tar(the stuff diy gasifiers have to clean out) being roughly 70 percent benzene and toulene. There's not data on diy gasifiers but expect it to be worse, with more varied polycyclics that likey much more toxic that aren't particularly filtered out by bubbling it through water. These heavy polycyclics are generally eliminated in the gasoline cracking stage.
