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.

This needs to be a patch, if not an outright shirt print. And it most definitely needs to be in Anarchist colours.
Edit: Jesus Christ, I'm dreaming up business plans, someone slap my brain back in place...
Regardless of what we might prefer, we're all forced to deal with capitalism until we build something better.
True, but I've made it a point to get out of the mindset, ease up on that programming. I started realising that being hyper-entwined with the current mess reduces my creativity's field of view and limits what I can picture beyond the system itself.
By getting out of that mindspace, I hope to clear up some creative bandwidth, so that I may start dreaming of better alternatives. Because all I have right now is "gestures vaguely at Star Trek," and I need more.
Try reading 'walkaway' and 'the dispossessed'.
Thank you! The more the merrier, throw'em at me!
Okay where are you and can you like hold up something so i know its you? I don't want to get the wrong person.
I'm currently at the ass-end of Despairville, I'm the bloke in black who's huddled in a corner, crying:)))
'Bloke'; don't think we're on the same continent.
Ill need a bigger trebuchet lots more math abd books that wont burn up on re-entry
Well, I think I'm still somewhere in Europe, so maybe something low atmo will suffice, avoid some of that friction:-? Dunno, maybe tin foil?:-?
I dunno. I'm kind of shit at orbital dynamics.
Eh, we'll figure it out somehow!:)) If not, at least I doubt anyone around here would mind if I were to... procure the books through other means:"
Just this picture, in relief, with that caption
YES! And it isn't an identifier if everyone's wearing them, just sayin'!:"
