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.

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 have one for when my fatass dog rides with me. She's heavy enough to make it beep if the seat is unbuckled.

I’m such a tough badass, I can’t stand the feeling of a cloth strap across my chest
They yearn for the harness and are just too insecure to admit to it
It's pretty obvious this one in particular is for idiots, but my car's detect person sensor is so sensitive that it goes off when I have towels in the backseat. My solution was to leave the seatbelts plugged in all the time, but a decorative seatbelt silencer might have been nice. The plugged in seatbelt interferes with the middle seat drop down cupholder, so anytime I have a passenger with a cup we all have to deal with the alarm if they don't put the seatbelt back in after lowering the cupholder.
Maybe a rainbow one or something. Make it obvious so it doesn't get lost in a sea of black carpets.
*edit
I did a quick google search, and they're all "rawr I'm masculine and drink a lot" with a dash of ai-generated "this is safer because beeping is distracting please buy my stuff" articles. Nothing with rainbows. Almost all of them include a bottle opener but default, including the CAT and other ATV/construction equipment style ones. Not worth the effort to support that type of market.

Siri, what’s America like in 2025?
I hope they sell a lot because the people who like those punisher logos are not contributing to society.
All I can say is let them die. If they are dumb enough to use something stupid like this, they deserve to not survive a crash.
If you don't use a seatbelt, a crash can turn your body into a projectile and kill someone else, so it's not just "let the dumbasses die" scenario.
Or so I heard on the internet. Sounds like it's probably a thing, though no idea how common it is.

Very hope insurance companies check these details after any incident to refuse payment.
Very much hope countries with free healthcare and law force to use seatbelts could refuse treatment such brave persons.
lol what? Well how much danger am I allowed to put myself in before doctors get to tell me to eat shit when I turn up at the E.R.?? If I break my collarbone playing backyard football should insurance companies refuse payment because I wasn't wearing shoulder pads?

People who own these are men who hate women, people of color, their families, and themselves. At least our taxpayer dollars won't have to pay for their medical bills when they're a potato in the hospital after getting in an accident. 😖 I hate how The Punisher has been co-opted by white supremacy.
Skull shaped to signify resulting death due to not wearing their seat belt I guess
