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.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

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.

Bidets should be mandatory and toilet paper should be banned

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 66 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Maoist left with a strong aftertaste of eco-consciousness.

I could live with a bidet-centric society tbh

and toilet paper should be banned

Are you just rocking a wet ass post-bidet application?

[–] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago

The complete lack of thought for obvious disastrous consequences is how you recognize a true Maoist policy.

I welcome or wet-ass bidet future, comrade.

Sending the government anything official (like passport or jury summons response) through the post should include free shipping for letter sized envelopes.

~~Free~~ socially funded

Also because the right wants to dismantle the post office

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

free

Not free, paid for with taxes. And as we all know, all taxation is theft. Except for the roads I need to drive my lifted truck on.

stop subsidizing cars and trucks

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 68 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 month ago (2 children)

nah that's actually right wing (in theory)

in reality, it's left... the world is a weird place

I mean, people on the left generally aren't against subsidizing transportation, the problem is with cars specifically. Their dominance is generally bad for society as a whole, but good for a few already very powerful people.

Typical pirate party talking point: left

(Although classically liberal)

Anti-capital & pro-public ownership, definitely left wing

People really actually should learn how to make bugs into more widespread, varied, and tasty cuisine.

Meat is about to get much, much more expensive.

Addendum: Ask the vegans about their most cost effective, most sustainable protein sources.

Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's moral or ethical and vice versa.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 1 month ago (5 children)

The largest obstacle to Linux adoption is the large amount of Linux users whos only contribution to Linux is pushing back any and all progress. These people protest whenever a project receives funding from companies yet refuse to donate themselves. They call projects like Fedora copro for receiving code from IBM yet they do not contribute. They spend all day whining about Wayland and Systemd going on about how "bloated" they are yet these same people will use KDE.

Language changes. "Literally" also means "Figuratively" now. The pronouciation of "gif" is regional. To fight against it is pointless.

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 46 points 1 month ago

For awhile a lot of urbanist positions could have either come from the left or the right, but eventually reactionaries reacted and now its pretty much exclusively left wing.

Linux is the best operating system, and the primary things preventing its adoption are manufacturers not packaging it and professional software like Adobe being unavailable

i think it's possible to have too many buttholes. like, from a functional standpoint. it's probably super uncomfortable.

[–] TypFaffke@feddit.org 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Demanding butthole conformity is a classic argument of the right.

The purpose of life is to maximise pleasure and anyone yapping against that is either trying to control you or still hasn't deprogrammed from puritan cultural influence.

We should train mountain lions to be comfortable around humans, so they can hunt down feral cats and dogs to stop them from killing local wildlife and polluting rivers.

Eagles could work too.

All active duty soldiers should be get a free, non-transferrable 1000+cc motorcycle.

Cities/towns under 1 million should ban cars within the city limits, but remove all liscensing requirements for <200cc motorcycles.
