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 am officially out of the loop. I remember his body pic at the CPAC, but what do conservatives have against Hasan Piker?
He's left wing, outspoken, much better at articulating complex issues than they are, and extremely popular with young people.
Any one of those things are enough for their vilification, but the combo of all of them has them ABSOLUTELY apoplectic 😄
He's also a first-generation Turkish-American and Muslim by upbringing, which works pretty well with their new fear mongering around the threat of muslims taking over the country
Gotcha. So it's the old, "But he is not named in the Epstein files" that got to them.
Viking Hippie got you but I wanted to add that Hasan rightly calls out Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.
A hateful boner. That's what they have for Hasan.
He has a large support base, particularly reaching young men that would likely have otherwise gone down the alt right/redpill pipeline. He also appeals to some of the older republican voters who watch his actual content and not just clips because the majority of the content is responding to arguments on the merit of the argument and evidence, even if his takes are sometimes questionable and there are some outrageous clippable moments. Republicans view this as someone coming in and eating their lunch.
Democrats view it as someone easily achieving the success in converting nonvoters and republicans that they wished to achieve without actually changing their policy and hate him the same, attacking anyone left of them harder than they attack republicans. In doing so they also provide more ammunition to the republicans and republican media to try and paint him negatively, sometimes leaning into outright slander and libel (e.g. purposefully taking a clip of him reading someones comment then arguing against it, but clipping just the reading part to make it seem like he thinks that)
Why were you at the cpac 🤨
I was trying to find a Grindr date, obvi!
