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.

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.

my electronics are all designed to break by themselves way before smoke damage would have any effect
-
wait that's not the point? then why do they advertise so on the packs? checkmate, healthy-lungs
-
I only smoke outside
-
I only smoke outside (and don't have pets)
-
I only smoke outside
-
I am extremely careful about making sure I don't leave any lit embers around (I almost lost my apt in a fire years ago due to a negligent smoker)
-
yeah I admit I am trash
-
again, they advertise it on the packs! is it not the addiction that makes you cool?
This post is satire, don't smoke kids. If you won't do it for your lungs, do it to not constantly smell like an ashtray.
- Tar smoke stick causes damage to internal components regardless, and will murder any resale value if there was any. Also a permanent smell will emanate from any exhaust ventilation regardless unless all your devices are passively cooled (which is doubt)
- Damn bro, love yourself sometimes
- Sticks to your clothes and the smell can't be easily removed even with a shower, know that from family who did smoke.
- Second hand smoke is still dangerous outside, also pollution.
- " "
- " ", but good on you for not endangering pets in your home
- Only gotta be unlucky once...
- I meant trash in your home/litter out and about, probably should have phrased that better
- Regulations advisement, not willing advertisement.
(Sorry, I tend to give corrections out of spite to sarcasm, you got me with the bait)
yes!! finally someone who understands preserving organs for their resell value!
Don't you hate it when you find them in a bad condition?
Look, there's only 2 WAYS to fund my alcoholism.. and i want to choose the one where i outlive my competitors. 😼🍷
No worries, one can never overemphasize the grossness, unhealthiness, or stupidity of smoking cigarettes.
I have no plans to quit in the immediate future but that doesn't mean I won't tell anyone who'll listen how much tobacco sucks.
I will say though, avoiding smoking indoors or inside cars goes a long way to avoid reeking too much. I've had non-smoker friends confirm this to me. I do however usually still reek from carrying butts around 'cause my momma didn't raise no litterer!
They themmy on lemmy? Sorry haha, i still don't condone smoking, but if you're worried about smell, you can smoke out of a window, works better in the car while driving (don't ever do this ever if you get lightheaded easily, i've had a friend pass out once doing this and had to grab the wheel.)
Also alternatively to mask it, a good smell to go for are either really overpowering smells, like zesty or fruity flavours, but for better masking, cologne does the trick, i always carry a small bottle in my car.
Cheers! 😶🌫️
Don't smoke cigs anymore, but i condone the message above.
Please quit before it becomes too late, all it takes is two months being clean to get the bad withdrawal sideaffects away.
Don't let that shit get a hold of you like you would with weed, smoking weed is fine. Just don't smoke this colonizer shit like i did, it turns you stupid when you smoke it, seriously, not like weed stupid either.. i'm talking critically stunted in logic stupid.
You want to "smoke safe?" Here's the trick, you can't with tobacco. So don't do it unless you plan on living short.
Also major source of microplastics! Don't toss your butts on the ground! It's gross and is killing all of us!
