Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

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".

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.

Should also add 🇦🇺 English (Poisonous)
I believe that’d be English (Venomous), unless there’s something I don’t know about the edibility of Aussies.
I ain't gonna risk licking them
And as is tradition, New Zealand is forgotten.
Oh you mean Australia 2

This or one of the 56 flavours of English (Colonial) but perhaps American also counts as that
Weird, I learned rhotic was pretty much standard dialect around the time North America was colonized ... wouldn't that mean it's the other way around in reality? (Honest no rage-bait question). I was taught and repeatedly read over the years that modern British dialect sounded more American then, and only changed with more inter-colonization from surrounding countries?
Nah, you have learnt what is largely an overblown myth. The whole "American sounds more like Shakespeare's English than modern British English" is completely false, but it gets repeated ad nauseam by Americans on the internet.

Do Americans take vocal fry lessons?
why do you think they consume so much oil?
You ever hear a posh British man from the early-mid 1900's talk? The US valley-girl vocal fry has nothing on CS Lewis.
Finnish is probably the most deep-fried language, though.
You ever hear a posh British man from the early-mid 1900’s talk?
So true. Definitely the most annoying thing about that accent (even more than the HAPPY vowel).

It is mass media that has made people talk similar. It used to be every county, in the UK and US, would have a distinct accent.
Since mass media, only the regions that want to keep their accents have them.

british accent? disgusting
scottish accent? cute af
but i'm biased
at the risk of flaming a lot of people:
isn't a scottish accent also british (as in, spoken on great britain)?
Absolutely, a singular "British accent" is something that only Americans seem to think exists, and they usually mean RP (the posh accent found mostly in the south east of England).
Scotland, England, Wales, all part of Britain, and all have plenty of wildly different accents within them. Compare Geordie, West Country, Cockney, Scouse, and Brummie. Even the accents between Scotland's two main cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh, are completely different.
So yeah, if someone says they love a "British accent" just respond in Glaswegian and see how they like it!
Oh, aye, in truth the Scots tongue is by far my favourite! I sadly do not speak it; but between an English leid and a Scots one I'd love to speak the latter. Yola would've been cool too.
Geordie (Yorkshire) and West Country are also a pleasure to listen to, in earnest

Irish is a broad range from enchantingly cute to ancient utterings possibly summoning an eldritch god
There are many British accents, you will have to be more specific. Personally, I find the Yorkshire one rather charming. However, that is the opinion of someone from the DEEP Ottawa Valley.
If you think there's a "British accent" you're not qualified to be in this conversation.
British accent = what Americans think is a British accent...

Which accent? We've got so many.
The American brain can't comprehend there being multiple noticeable cultural divisions within a country.

Thanks for the deep cut

Have you been running some sort of A/B test?

idk, I always crack up when I hear a tiny Brit speak
hehe. I was once jogging around my neighborhood when I briefly lived there, and a little kid said to his mum as I went past, "that looks roight toiring". I think about it often.
Whot mate! Do you have a problem? Plonker.
Honestly, as an outsider i can say it sounds kinda cute and very polite
It's the antithesis of whatever the southern US is speaking. That just sounds like a whole pack of chewing gum is in your mouth.
Honestly sort of similar accents.
There are accents in the outer banks area of North Carolina that are the closest to the original British and Irish settlers of the area.

Some might have a strong accent, at least it's not as bad as how much Americans rapes the English language. I mean, they can't even say aluminium properly.
Aluminum came first, for what it's worth. British publications just added the extra i because they thought it sounded fancier.

Yaaaas diva sickening ✨ 💖
Ok-ay Gov!
A couple I know moved from Canada to the UK. Even at 6ish years old, despite being raised by them, including one as a stay-at-home mom, the kid had a strong British accent.
Luckily, they're mostly immune, although my friend does now say "gareridge" instead of "gahraje".
