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.

Room for rent - 500/mo + first/last months rent
I get the idea, but you gotta get one big enough to stretch out in. Back and muscle stiffness from having to curl up to fit aren't fun. Definitely isn't helpful for any sort of sexy time, pet play, or even just general day to day existence.
I've slept in small spaces before without much between me and the floor, and plenty of awkward "just grab the space you can and make the best of it". No cage, but a pile of pillows and blankets on the floor in a hotel room when I missed the last train back to my accomodations at a convention, another time at a con when the hotel let us book a room with a pull out couch but then didn't actually have one in our room (and was booked solid so there wasn't anywhere to put me), many nights crashing on friends' couches or the floor when the couch was already taken, one night in a beanbag chair when about 20 people crammed into a 2 bed apartment before a huge camping trip, air matresses, crappy 20 year old pull out couches, cots, cramped overfilled tents... you get the picture.
The biggest and most consistent thing for comfort I've found was getting enough space that I didn't have to crunch myself tight and keep myself in a specific position the whole night.
Space > temperature > surface for your head > whatever is under your body, at least imo.
Having had to sleep in nature a few times, whatever is under your head>body>space>temperature.
Temperature is solved by wearing more layers.
You can fall asleep with your your legs curled up or even supporting your body a bit, you can't fall asleep with your head on an uneven rock.
