You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

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.

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.

I think its a bit insensitive to the dead person.
I've heard of families who get hounded by podcasters after a member gets murdered.
Yeah, its insensitive to the survivors. That's definitely another issue, and pestering them for "juicy information" is pretty gross and callous.
(The dead person doesn't care though, they're dead.)
Actually, yeah I wouldn't care if someone covers me stupidly in their podcast, but I'd be upset if they harrased any people I know (well, I wouldn't because I'm dead).
You realize that necrophilia could be justified with this?
Yeah, what will i care? Ill be dead.
There might exist people who care about your corpse. Maybe they'll have objections about someone having sex with it, at least it's guaranteed if the dead person didn't wish for it to happen.
Nope. None who have any right.
In this hypothetical; me. Go nuts.
Believe it or not: other people do have rights over your body. You don't own your own body. You're dead, remember?
What if I told you that you're not the only person in the world?
Oh, i guess if somebodys gonna eat it or something they might mind someone fucking it, but im not an organ donor-the odds are too high it would get used as a chew toy for cops, and i dont want them to have free fun ever.
Cool so who has that right? No family, no lovers at present, no close friends nearby. Fuck off with your propertarian garbage. Or on, if you're gonna put it to some use.
No it wouldn't.
Please elaborate.
There other reasons other than the dead person themselves to keep a taboo on necrophilia:
Probably some stuff I'm forgetting.
I primarily thought of the first point but didn't understand what you meant since the word survivor is used incorrectly, but from the context it would seem like you mean relatives and friends.
I would accept your passive aggressive contribution if the word in question was the verb "survive" and not the noun "survivor". Fuck off.
Via wiktionary.
Did you really just not look this up, at all? Seriously, this is an extremely common usage of the term. Why are you so defensive about this? For that matter, why do you think arguing semantics at all is relevant to the discussion at hand - beyond just making you look like you're arguing in bad faith?
and? if someone wants to donate their body to bring someone else joy why shouldn't they be able to?
I mean, if someone explicitly states in their will that they're OK with their body being turned into a sex toy (or even that its one of their wishes) that complicates things but there are still good reasons to deny it anyway.
