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.

MODERATORS
The first thing Labour does after getting majority is attack trans women and fuck around with internet privacy.
Bloody wankers.
If Labour truly had wanted to keep its majority, it should first:
-
Solidify the social welfare state, for everyone. Tax the billionnaires and multimillionnaires by a lot. Nationalise companies. Call it "reduction of bureaucracy" (because not having to go through all sorts of hoops and exceptions to get social help, REDUCES bureaucracy; and making state rail etc. also can break away the dependency of the UK on London!)
-
I don't like this one, but it could sharply restrict immigration, and advertise that it does this a lot. It should however not be like the Danish or Australian model - it should be more humane; eg. those that already live here, can stay. It should paint those that want to make it inhumane, as "unrealistic" and "opening floodgates" (cus it will have people run even harder to the UK, because higher risk, higher reward). Fight the lion by its own weapon.
-
Quietly actually improve queer rights (ESPECIALLY including trans). Denounce the Cass report as fake news, put in informed consent, etc. Be sure to do this quietly a few days after a big news event, so that the public is distracted.
-
Remove those privacy-infringing spy laws. Leave the 14 Eyes, remove thousands of cameras. And actually lock up the far-right politicians without parole, for 20 years, and make them get rehabilitated. Idk what Mao did to convince Pu Yi to be a good communist, but something like that.
And why does Labour not do this? Because Keir has sold out his own party. While he's from the right party, he has turned it away from the people, when the very thing Labour should do, is to be there for and by the people of the UK!
And while we're at it, Labour could put in a proportional representation system. If Labour were to stand to win some seats from such a system, then Starmer could perhaps be convinced of the usefulness of doing so. It's the wrong reason, sure, but it's the right thing to do: proportionality. Starmer should furthermore seek much closer cooperation to the EU. In these times where fascists threaten left and right, we should do everything to combat it.
What restrictive Australian immigration model are you referring to? We've had high immigration levels for the last 30 years, the only blip was for covid in 2020.
We have in the last two years tightened our immigration levels (lowered them) less than both the UK and the US, by a lot - US has doubled our reduction, UK has more than quadrupled it. If you follow 'the Australian model' you'll have to let in a heap more people.

Labour? Oh you mean the Tories 2
2ories
Leftists for years have been screaming that the Labour party was a grift. They are the typical right-wing chuds parading around with leftist rhetoric, explicitly so they could pull the rug once they gained power.
how else are they going to keep their 100 seat majority?! Gotta think of the next election!
I left the UK because best case scenario, Labour would continue internet monitoring and censorship, and keep brexit. Fuck em.
I told those people millions of times to vote for Lib Dems or greens, "oh but third party blah blah" ok great. Somehow , Reform , despite being a third party is about to eat the conservatives.
vote for Lib Dems
Oh yeah, another Clegg coalition would be just great

Fundamentally, half of the electorate needs to collaborate on a single third party and be convinced that enough other people will also vote that way so their vote isn't thrown away. A coalition involving the Greens (for example) as a minority party won't give them enough power to change anything.
The only way out of this – unless Reform get into power and abolish First Past the Post in their own interests while not undermining democracy in other ways, which would be a silver lining on a very dark cloud – is if the public put a ton of pressure on the government for voting reform.
The calls are getting louder, and groups like the ERS have started to publish promising polling recently, but it needs a monumental effort.
Judging by New Labour's absolute majority on 32% of votes cast with a turnout of 60%, you don't need half of the electorate to collaborate, just a little less than one fifth.
You need much less than that if the point is merelly to screw up New Labour's electoral chances.
Remove the second H and the meme retains its original meaning.
VPN subscriptions are about to skyrocket in the UK.
Already have.
Next up on the "about to become illegal" train....
As I've said before, use TOR, and TOR bridges if necessary.
TOR doesn't work with redgifs, sadly. Curse you redgifs! I can't find any other source of femboys!
Put a little money in a reputable crypto wallet, and pay for mullvad for 5 euros a month and pay by crypto. Mostly crypto is used to scam people and launder money, but here’s an example where it makes sense due to anonymity
Or you can literally mail cash to them for that 5 euros for a month of service, still anonymous
And their service is one of the only ones that adopts and/or champions newest methodologies of avoiding censorship or tracking
Here are their recommendations on using their service in restrictive areas
https://mullvad.net/en/help/connecting-to-mullvad-vpn-from-restrictive-locations
And here are examples of their tech efforts to ensure they stay ahead of the curve
Things like multihop https://mullvad.net/en/blog/multihop-now-available-on-android
DAITA https://mullvad.net/en/blog/daita-version-2-now-available-on-all-platforms
Quantum resistant encryption https://mullvad.net/en/blog/quantum-resistant-tunnels-are-now-the-default-on-desktop
Enforcing wireguard due to openvpn security issues and corporate oversight https://mullvad.net/en/blog/removing-openvpn-15th-january-2026
If they ban VPNs surely it doesn't matter how you pay for it?
If you sign up with mullvad now they’ll give you an account number, basically a hash. Going forward, you can always add money to said account to use their services. If you’re asking about the technical feasibility of getting around VPN bans in authoritarian countries, that’s why I linked to their own article on recommendations for doing so, because it’s an active part of their goal and the tech they implement
Now I was unaware they're a good source for femboys
Big mood 😂👏
Probably not. Even in China, where there's the Great Firewall of China blocking stuff from the outside, VPN is not illegal. Of course it's illegal to use it to connect to the outside, but the officials don't care enough to enforce it.
Sounds like politicians are also investing in VPN companies. Win / win for them
If you have a decent PC, for the graphics, Monster Hunter: World's character creator works for some website selfie verifications... For some it doesn't, however I'll be pirating Death Stranding to give it a go for those ones.
Just thought of throwing that out there. I just pointed my webcam at my monitor with the game running, turned the head a bit and it did the trick.
Yarrrr mateys, private torrent trackers don't have an age-gate!
There's definitely a handful of private porn torrent trackers.
Then you don't have to hit an age gate anymore because it's safely stored on your own hard drives.
Question: don’t those private trackers require some sort of verification themselves?
Fellow Lemmings, I think it's about time we boosted the NSFW instance.
Who the fuck asked them to do that anyway? Aren't they supposedly a left wing government?
Nope.
Here's the thing about Labour: It used to be a left wing party. That all changed between 1979 and 1997 as it shifted to become the party of Tony Blair and now it's basically the Tories. The Tories too have shifted right and during the last Tory Admin, Labour shifted right to get more voters from the Tories while the Conservatives shifted right to take more votes from Reform.
This all sounds familiar
The apple didn't fall far from the tree.
New Labour are left of outright Fascism, not left of center.
Whoever told you that lied through their teeth.
Who? The government that brought you Brexit?
The Tories made Brexit happen, sure I have my problems with labour but don't blame them for things they didn't do
10 million new irish internet users suddenly appearing out of nowhere...
Just like Tennessee
I think it's close to 1/3 of the US states now.
Proton. I'm not a fan of the ceo, though.
Imagine being a fan of any CEO.
Only one I could think of is the Costco founder who stated that he'd murder the current one if he raised the hotdog soda combo above $1.50
Average x user:
Same but I gotta have that port forwarding feature.
AirVPN has port forwarding. I've used it for ~5 years of reliable Linux iso downloads.
mullvad
Tuta is another good alternative.
