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.

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.

NAGGER!
Stop nagging! So annoying!
Woah! Fucking with the G-word is just not on!
V'ger!
Coca Cola is grinding up Palestinian children to color coke.
I do miss the old internet where most people were smart enough to not use their real name and to not take people too seriously.
Man I'm old enough to remember if you posted a photo of yourself online you'd get ridiculed to high heaven over it. I remember one dude in an IRC room I used to frequent linking a photo of himself and people just went nuts making fun of him.
Does no one remember the "Hello My Future Girlfriend" kid?
What a cunt.
You hurt my feelings.
May I add "twat swatter" to the list?
I agree with everything but the last part.
We ARE animals. Thats why its so fucking sad we kill them by the millions.
You folks are censoring yourselves while I'm over here fed posting like the greasy American-Scot that I am! Sanity is for WASPs and Mormons I am neither so I shall swear, drink, and kill like my ancestors or at least I shall idolize such actions. Kind hard to commit hate crimes when things like modern forensics exist.
That's an incredible response.
Their wealth is not in dollars but in joules, in megatons, in things that will literally kill you so hard your great grandkids are still dying of it (hey vietnam!)
And they still fuck it up and shitthe bed constantly (h.... Hey vietnam. Afghanistan? Nobody?)
And kill their own great grandkids with the same dumbass cancers.
So maybe tell jeff bezos you will rewire his nerves into a wood chipper that feels avery chip as agony and a dick endowed with all the cancerous powers of his favorite economic system powered by a succession of captive stars, so tjat long after the last natural lights in existence have have flickered and died, he can still be choking on his own dick for a couple billion years. (Which honestly, if you were to guess what it was all for,is this even a stretch?)
Or zuckerberg. Or whichever (but you know the one we're all thinking of)
"Be edgy, fuck the system", said the soyboy on two extremely mainstream sites while not actually getting banned from either.
(Is calling someone a soyboy worse than saying you'll skin them alive?)
It's sort of a nazi insult, as in, insult that neonazis use.
True, but I'd say it's more something folks pick up along the modern social media-to-nazi pipeline.
Not everyone who says it is a full-blown neonazi, but if a friend or family member suddenly starts using it unironically, you should sit them down and ask them what the fuck is going on ASAP.
Honestly, this is why I'm here. I never say anything too crazy but I hate that the Internet is being turned into five sites that all bootlick big corporations.
There's quite a gap between swearing and threatening to skin someone alive, I'd say.

Thank you for coming to my GREG talk
I swear at this point I dreamed this, but I have a distinct memory about an underground newspaper somewhere that was getting hassled by censorship interests, that published an issue with the following on the cover:
Fuck. Shit. Cunt. Piss.
Serious ask - if anyone remembers this and can toss up a link about it, I'd appreciate it. Have looked a few times and turned up nothing, pretty sure it came up when I was in school researching random stuff related to the U.S. circa 1960s-1970s but could be wrong.
Assuming I didn't dream this, always wanted a framed photocopy of it.
Edit: it might be buried under stuff about George Carlin's 7 words you can never say on television, but I swear this was something else.
You can call me the fediverse chick
You are Nicole :O?
I am Jia Tan, but you can call me the fediverse chick anyway!

I have watched this man try (and fail) to get dropped by his VPN sponsor by doing ever increasingly unhinged skits.
He truly walks the walk.

This is what I particularly hate about self censorship
If you are behaving a certain way to please an algorithm or an advertiser, you're just cosplaying as a bot—particularly on lemmy where all it's going to accomplish is annoyance
Say whatever the fuck you like, it's more human

There is a big fucking difference between swear words, slurs and straight up death threats.
Okay but like real talk, i had to walk past like ten cop cars today, and had to constanrly be reminding myself that i do not carry a gun, and nobody would be on my side if i did every time i saw one those scum bullying a kid or beating a homeless guy or whatever other unsavory shit i couldn't tell. I wanted to shout "fuck off" "go home“¹. I wanted to kill them. For so many reasons. I wanred to take these foreign invaders, these thugs ruining the place i live, and i wanted to kill them². It was disgusting. I took videos of one³. Not for the first time. I want them out. I don't love or trust the people around me, but I'm not afraid they're going to kill someone every time i see my neighbors. I dont have to be stone terrified. I don't, for anyone but the cops, memorize fucking incantations that i know aren't worth shit if nobody's watching, if the camera can't pick up how white my skin is, like im some dark ages fucking peasant and they're the actual fucking devil.
How many people do you have to terrorize like that before we agree to kill you? Is there a number? I feel like there's a number. Would any of you, if you saw someone in like real desperate life or death trouble, like they'd been shot or something, you went to help, but you saw it wasnt a person; it was a cop. how many of you would have to think for even a second before just forgetting you heard anything?
¹because cops never seem to police the communities thry live in. Im not insane for noticing that, right? Like, if youve ever seen a cop show its id to buy cigarettes or something, the addresses are never anywhere near where they work. Sometimes like ten hours drive away. Always. It's not like a one off thing. If you see a cop in uniform: its not from here, and does not live here. That is an invader with a uniform and a gun, and you are paying it's paycheck, wealth extracted from you. Up in smoke. Less than useless to anything you might want.
²yeah it sounds kinda faschy, because they say it constantly, and it's a confession every fucking time, can we stop letting them get away with it someday? Fucking please? Is this a special privilege we grant only to the kkk, or can i get all banshee-pilled and get public support to just fucking murder whoever i want with impunity, if thats how we're doin this?
³didnt even know where to send it for like an hour. The inboxes are closing so fast, not that documenting the horrors ever helped. At some point it just feels like im recording b roll for a snuff film. At what point am i complicit in the horrors? Because im not proving anything to anyone. For fucks sake, if you still dont believe police are like this and you haven't been in a coma so long that this is the first beaytiful and unfortunately horrible momemt we have both been conscious on this earth, then you simply will not be comvinced.⁴ at what point is a witness just an audiemce, a guarantor that nothing here is acrually wrong? Is anyone dumb enough to still believe any court is ever going to hold any cop accountable for anything ever?
⁴hey, coma person. Okay so everything you loved and held dear has, if you're very lucky, been burned to ashes and forgotten, but more probably butchered denatured and sold back to you full of poison. Trust nothing, everything you loved is gone, and any of the vicious howling corporate svavengers willing enough to defile its corpse and wear strips of its face like a mask to slip past your defenses is probably not as good a friend as the percent original skin might suggest. But. This is an iphone, and its amazing. Yeah you just... So see? The future's not better or worse! Just different!
Right, but which of the following will be deemed unacceptable by the AI scanners of the corporate behemoth?
-
Shut your cunt mouth you sloppy fucking bitch
-
I will permanently impede the flow of oxygen to your brain, you scurrying insect
Well, my victims only die from secondary infections, not the act of skinning them alive.
