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.

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 don't like Jack Black because he was mean to Kyle Glass about his birthday wish. And it was a great birthday wish.
He was more than mean, he threw Kyle Gass under the bus so he could keep his movie deals and appear more neutral.
Kyle only said what half the fucking planet was thinking, and even more people feel that same sentiment Kyle expressed today than ever.
Trump is literally the number one threat to world peace, Kyle expressed a very valid sentiment and Jack bailed on the D to please the MAGA fucking freakshow.
It's such a valid sentiment, the most valid sentiment. People come to Me every day and they say "Vi", they say "that's a very valid sentiment. And we all agree with it." Everyone knows it folks, people want Donald Trump dead.
I’m just happy people still use vi.
JB was looking out for his fans.
He didn't want some crazy NRA MAGA idiot with guns to come shoot up one of their concerts.
When have NRA MAGA idiots with guns needed a reason to come shoot up concerts?
What a bunch of microdick riding horseshit.
"I wish there was a 1.3°, 10.8m/s wind blowing through 40°51′25″N 79°58′16″W at 18:11 on 13/07/2024."
what?
Not the person you asked.
Gass made a birthday wish during a concert that the next assassin wouldn't miss trump back when that dude shot at him during a rally. Black publicly said he would "never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form". They cancelled their tour and went on temporary hiatus.
While I disagree with Black, I do understand why he would say that. MAGAs were itching to find someone to shoot at the time. If I were an entertainer I would not want them showing up to my show shooting at my fans.
The most recent interview with Gass has him saying this: “Somebody called my mom. My poor 95-year-old mom. It hits close to home, and you want to be brave and courageous, but I’m not a congressman. We’re just entertainers. And it just bespeaks the insanity of the times. It feels almost vindictive."
But both Gass and Black have said they'll be back as Tenacious D. Black said he loves the D and everybody has to take a break sometimes. Gass said they've hashed it out.
Friends go through shit sometimes. And these two have been friends for like a thousand years. Their friendship just happens to be public and people take sides when they see it happen.
Edit: took out a sentence that I had in there twice.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I lifted that straight from the interview. Dude is funny.
I'm sure they've had discussions on which of them loves the D more, and it felt more believable coming from Mr. Black.

That night, Jack quit the band... but now they're back together... La la la la
"Charlie Kirk tweeted..." And thankfully never again.
A great example of what it looks like to not miss.
kyle gass under fire for being too based
Even the most based opinions create enemies.
If it doesn't make certain people your enemies it's not really based is it.
You've said far worse. When you could speak.
I don't like him because he's cheesy as fuck and people's obsession with him feels like celebrity worship from the nineties, when everything was saccharine to the gills.
The only role of his I like is the music video for Blotted Science's ‘Cretaceous Chasm’.
i think what ur describing is exactly why it's so fun for some people to like him,
he is like the last classic "rock star", not even, he is like a harmless homage to a time of rock stars that is past
