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.

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.

Fellas, is it gay to be into women who are also mammals?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (11 children)

If you follow the men's community grifters long enough, you realize that they don't want guys to be happy. They're all closeted about something or other and so deeply ashamed that they want other men to suffer and their eventual message is ALL the same:

"Real men don't need women, just give up hoping for a rewarding relationship, learn to accept your stoic, lonely life and just live for gaining wealth and respect."

I've been watching this shit from the sidelines for decades now, they ALL do this. Hooking naive guys in with promises of sex and affection and all the things that young men think they need, then later abandoning them because "dating isn't even worth it."

Imagine being lonely, single, socially awkward and unable to talk to girls, and the ONLY people promising to help you end up stranding you with nothing to look forward to.

These people need to be purged from Earth. I cannot fathom how more and more men are latching onto this shit even as statistically, they are more lonely than ever before. Someone explain basic math to these kids.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 10 hours ago

Well said!

And I will emphasize that this point:

just live for gaining wealth and respect

is part of the problem with the whole conservative strong male image before you even get to the relationship status. I was raised to think that way, not being explicitly told that but it being an ingrained part of the culture.

And even THAT is a subset of the value placed on conformity and pursuing the goals you are supposed to pursue rather than what brings you actual fulfillment.

Horizon--the game people hate not because of its quality, but because woman.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What do they think, women are lizards. People have hair.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

You're talking about a segment of the male population who watches more cartoons than they spend time around actual humans.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 76 points 2 days ago (6 children)

What's interesting is that the ones who don't have peach fuzz are men who shave. If a perfectly smooth face is what you find attractive, you want a man's face.

[–] el_bhm@lemm.ee 33 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Latest news.

Shaving? Gay

Beards? Gay

Check mate wokies!

This is the ideal female body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 84 points 2 days ago

Of course it's peak performance. Even my phone can render this at hundreds of FPS.

You'd think the literal apocalypse happening would be an acceptable justification for not being dolled up 100% of the time, yet here we are with Aloy.

And honestly, she looks pretty good for someone socially ostracized her whole life, not having a mom, and roughing it her whole life in a cabin that doesn't have running water. It could be a whole lot worse than just peach fuzz 🤷‍♀️

[–] spectre@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

tbf the apocalypse did not stop her from shaping her brows and wearing makeup

[–] MystValkyrie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Yep, most male gamers who take issue with Aloy can't tell she has some light coverage, and then criticize her for not wearing makeup and being ugly, which is amusing. And sad too, that even wearing makeup doesn't satisfy their impossible standards because it's still not enough makeup.

Maybe Aloy plucks? Some people just have great eyebrows without having to do anything, and I am jealous of those people.

For the PS6 re-release they'll include the smell-o-vision of a person from a world that has never heard of soap, deodorant, or toilet paper.

Not just mammals. The woke leftist mind flare virus is trying to convince you that FEMALES are actually HUMAN!!!

These gamers need to watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Half of these kids would melt into a pool of their own jizz if they spent a moment around and actual live, breathing female human with skin and personality.

The other half would run screaming because they've broken their own minds long ago and are just giant wads of repressed sexual insecurity and self-hate.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This pisses me off on a personal level. I dated a girl with a small peach fuzz mustache and she was the sweetest person I ever went out with. That peach fuzz stache is part of what made her so sweet and so adorable.

Imagine the reaction when somebody tells them that females are as hairy as men.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

as hairy as males*

[–] sfled@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

And can pass gas with the best of 'em.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Woah woah, let's start with women are infact people too and go from there. We don't want to overwhelm anyone.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 120 points 2 days ago (12 children)

Wait until they hear about women's mustaches and armpits! When I used to sneak looks at Playboys as a kid, bush was all the rage. Now at 33 as a gay man, bush is still rage. I love hair on everyone!

Why don't you like fuzzy peaches?

[–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It also makes me wonder, do the people who post stuff like this not have mothers or sisters? Any women in their lives they might see on a casual day without a fresh shave or makeup?

[–] Cossty@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They never hug their mother because they think it's embarrassing and gay.
