Community Rules
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.

Don't say such vile shit. Dont ignore people's humanity just because you think the way they live spoils your view. I get that you don't understand how gross youre being here, because only your emotions are real, butyou in particular hage absolutely no right to ask for civility in this conversation while advocating to do things in the most fundamemtally uncivil ways you can think of, insisting they're the only way, and then insisting that aboyt something else in the very next reply. You either do mot have self awareness, or you are not participating in good faith. There is no other explanation that doesn't get incredibly contrived and involve some shit that gave a bunch of silver age superheroes their powers.
Consider people you want to actbon as people and I'll give future comments a once-over. Til then; no. As far as im concerned I've been iron-manning your shit.
I offered to literally go outside and talk to the unhoused population of los angeles and tell you what they have to say. I coulf tell you my position the various times I've been unhoused, or those of friends who have been. Those last two i didnt explicitly articulate, but you don't seem interested. You're in this for the violence, and i think you want rehoysing to fail to justify worse purges.
... Yeah okay maybe a little, but not just hungry. Even after a snack the shit you said is gross. Like genuine need-a-shower gross. You are vile and can't even understand why.
Okay. What if i don't want to? What if, as previously atated, 'fuck you'? Again, if you just talked to people and pretended they were people you'd have a higher uptake rate with more harmonious placements. If you make it an imposition, people, especially people who have in some cases literally been hunted for sport by organs of the state, will fight you tooth and nail, even if it's something they want.
Have you never interacted with another human being, or do you just not consider unhoused people to be human? There is no third option. Don't respond without telling me which or I'll just make fun of your response.
Stop hypothetical-me, bitch.
Note: stopping hypothetical me is is going to be more expensive, involve more atrocities, more collateral damage, and more resentment if your regime thats going to stick around and make collaboration harder for decades.
It says, blatantly ignoring the thing i said while bitching about how im bad faith uncharitable, because it's very serious and totally a full person.
Do you just ignore my way because it involves talking to a poor?
I do not give a single fucking shit what they do in dengist new-deal-with-chinese-characteristics china, except for the purposes of being compassionate to the chinese people. Fuck all the way off with the whataboutism, seriously.
That is between you and your sub, leave it the fuck out of policy, please.
Good idea.
