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.

I never agreed to be your sherpa. And I was more saying the references provided by the LLM could help you since you seem to have trouble navigating the Internet on your own. Test your reading comprehension on my first comment sweetheart.
I agree with your distrust for LLMs. You just seemed like the target audience.
I asked you for evidence, you told me to find it myself, and you also said that you could provide the evidence, but you choose not to.
This is basically textbook 'trust me bro', and you seem to think that makes me look stupid, and you not look like a gossip monger, because It is known.
Ok then!
I told you to look for yourself because I don't care one way or another what you decide. I didn't tell you to trust me. I said I wasn't interested in debating it. I told you to decide for yourself. How dense can you be? Someone else posted an hour long break down for you. Did you find everything ok or do you need a map and a foot rub?
Got it, you are obstinate and unwilling to admit you have an opinion you can't defend, but you will keep insulting me for pointing out that... you cannot justify your opinion.
But you also keep reengaging, keep trying to reframe the discussion... the discussion you are apparently not interested in having...
Remember when you said "I can [provide evidence], but I've moved on."?
I guess not.
...and you're also double teaming me with your 2ish month old alt account that has only 13 comments, to try and falsely make this into a 3 way conversation, so that you can have two different 'people' to split your rhetorical approaches between.
Very normal and healthy internet behavior.
