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.

That is an empty set if we are talking about countries who were able to meaningfully oppose Israel. And for countries that condemn Israel once in a while but keep sending weapons and trading tech with them? Well...
I don't know why Israel just had to keep participating in Eurovision and pushing so hard for the win.
You know how the competition goes, right? You get huge hype along the lines of "ooh I think Finland has real chance of winning this year" and then, I dunno, Bulgaria randomly wins or something. Every time. There clearly are forces at work beyond our mortal comprehension here, and no nation-state can meddle with it.
Moroccanoil, the ESC sponsor, is despite what its name suggests an Israeli company. So the overall incentive structure there might be a tad skewed.
Better yet. Boycott the genocide supporting asshats completely.
I've been a diehard fan since 2009 but I stopped watching 2 years ago. It's not been easy and I miss the show, but I can't support this
You didn't miss much. This year was genuinely bad from a quality perspective. Finland was the only song that had any replay merit, and it was okay.
Regrettably Eurovision is Europe's largest (unofficial) pride event. It's a time you can dress up in all your most fabulous attire and queen out, with complete impunity. Allowing the Israelis to steal that from us would be an absolute tragedy. Of course if their vote manipulation actually wins it for them, that's a different story.
I'm afraid the campest mass European show has been thoroughly subverted and is now pinkwashing for Genocide.
The people who were supposed to stop that are throughly complicit in making it a celebration of the modern day NAZIsm called Zionism.
A camp NAZI bar is still a NAZI bar.
A gay bar doesn't become a Nazi bar if one nazi shows up at it. But it does if all the gay people leave.
The only solution is to convince the bouncers to throw the nazi out.
It becomes when it accepts and embraces the nazi despite knowing it is one
Gay marriage was legalised first in the Netherlands in Europe. Then Belgium and then Spain. The Netherlands and Spain are boycotting Eurovision.
Maybe we should join the pioneers in pride progress and take a stance against Eurovision altogether.
Bad news fam, Israel has already stolen it years ago, even somewhat turned it into a propaganda for them.
It's high time those racist, murderous scum are kicked out, or all that fabulous is moved somewhere else.
As it stands now, Eurovision is as hypocritical as it gets. They boycott Russia but bend over backwards for Israel. Palestinian flags have been banned for years now.
The Russian state broadcaster - not the country mind you - was suspended because it and Russia openly violate the EBU statutes, not because of the war. Press freedom in Russia took a nosedive after the beginning of the war.
Belarus was suspended in 2021 for the exact same reasons already mind you. There is also no specific Eurovision suspension, only a suspension from the EBU entirely.
The Israeli state broadcaster and Israel does, as far as I know, not violate these statutes. Or rather, any interpretation that would lead that state broadcaster to be suspended must suspend several others as well. As such, the EBU executive board has no grounds to suspend the Israeli state broadcaster with the current rules.
Even something like targeting journalists in a war zone would not be a violation I believe because the EBU statutes only refer to the country's own territory. It's just a war crime.
That's why the Israeli suspension from Eurovision was put to a vote before the other members last year and not decided by the executive board, like with the Russian and Belarusian broadcasters.
There is no hypocrisy. A country committing genocide does not violate the EBU statutes because they do not concern themselves with anything but broadcasting. As soon as Israel starts being like Russia in that regard there are grounds for suspension.
That is not true, they retroactively changed the narrative why Russia was kicked off. Originally it was about the war.
boycotting cant do shit when it’s israel, everyone would have to stop paying their taxes, stop going to the majority of chain shops, stop buying any sort of electronics and start growing their own shit in your own backyard for it to actually work on israel
So don't even try? You do you my man.
Strategic, targeted boycotts can be incredibly powerful.
Imagine people can only buy stuff from companies that get stuff from Israel, but you know that company A could switch to a different supplier within a few months. So you boycott company A, buying instead from companies B, C, and D that also make stuff in Israel. If you have enough people, this would be ruinous for company A who would be unable to sell their stock for profit, and company A could have no choice but to switch to a non-Israeli supplier to let the boycott end and restore their profits. Then you all buy from company A, pressuring companies B, C, and D to switch supplier.
One of the things that annoys me about the BDS campaign is that it doesn't do this. People see a huge list of stuff to avoid that they've become habituated to and either bounce off it or only do it partially. I'm not saying to retract the list, but it would be great if BDS picked one product off the list and said "if you boycott anything, boycott this", and kept it there until the company relented.
Do what you can, most can stop buying from major chains and buy electronics unrelated to Israel, switch to FOSS software and not watch Eurovision.
in most electronics there is something made by shitsrael, eastern european originated hitler himself said some shit like “the phone in your pocket is a piece of israel” or something
still. boycotts aren't about all or nothing. they're a long term strategy of learning to find alternatives, build up alternative ways of being to what's presented, and redirecting power in small ways that make a difference when there's mass engagement.
take for example. someone in this thread referred to eurovision as an unofficial pride event for people who don't feel safe expressing that identity outside of this period. maybe this year that person goes and watches eurovision at a locally owned bar that's playing it so fewer screens are tuned in. there maybe they just get to know some other people who are feeling a way about this. further, you can also dedicate a little bit of time looking for explicit queer representation from participating countries on Bandcamp to talk to others about. these decisions, even if they're not coming from someone who is disengaging from eurovision entirely, are still acts of boycott
Eurovision
1% music
99% nationalist pseudopolitics
why is Israel even in Eurovision? they're in Asia
Because the important factor is being in the European Broadcasting Area. This area is bigger than the European sub-continent and includes all countries with Mediterranean coastline and some countries to the east of Israel. Wikipedia has this helpful map:
dark green: Countries which have participated in the Contest at least once.
yellow: Countries which are eligible to participate, but have not (yet) done so.
light green: Countries which have competed in the contest as a part of another country, but never as a sovereignty.
red: Countries which were supposed to compete in the contest but withdrew right before the final.

As you can see Marokko competed one time, Tunesia and Lebanon had had at one time real plans to compete and Jordan and Irak are also eligible but opt to not participate.
Australia on the other hand isn't eligible at all but requires a special invitation from the EBU which they have received every year for the last ten years and are likely to receive until the contest collapses.
THATS WHAT IM SAYING (could be because eurovision is funded by moroccanoil)
Not really, they were part of the EBU in the 80s and have been participating ever since. The ESC isn't really about europe as Australia is also participatin
Unreadable font.
Before I had a smartphone, I used to consume memes in the Reddit RSS feed with the Opera Mini browser. The already tiny preview images were scaled down to 140x140 and compressed to 5kB JPEGs by the transcoder. At least the phone didn't scale them down, the software is incapable of rendering images outside native resolution...
Yes, it's worse than sans-serif at that size but I can read most characters and figure out the rest from context.
Dude, your setup must suck...
Practice reading archived cursive notes. Then you'll be more than prepared to read this.
Edit: I want to be clear, this was not meant to be disparaging. There's centuries of documents written in cursive, and it's a reading skill that's mostly been dropped in modern education. If you're taught that skill, though, this round-hand font is not a problem to read. It is a weird choice for this meme, though.
Only person and only time I've ever cared about Eurovision is because Look Mum No Computer is in it and I love his stuff and have followed for a while. Sad he didn't get to do a live performance on his synth because of the rules tho
Part of me wants to see what shitshow it becomes when it gets hosted in Tel Aviv.
Otherwise I don't watch and don't care.
Conveniently, you can't support your own country.
... how exactly do you think eurovision works?
last time it was Iran, right?.... They got way too many votes for their mediocre performance, clearly indicating some bs...
since when is iran in eurovision? I meant bulgaria lol
oh umm.... ir right.... I... can't.... im bad with names....

Bulgaria's song is kind of a banger too so that helps lol
