When given a choice between a millitary industrial neoliberal with a rainbow voting base and a fascist who is one elon musk golf session away from banning HRT, the best option is certainly not to refuse to play out of protest
With the constant growth of our mod team and the demanding nature of actually having lives outside of niche internet communities, Ada and I have come to the decision that the mod team once again needs to expand.
Applications work the same way they did the last two mod calls:
Post a brief write-up on yourself and why you think we should give you moderator status, as well as a link to at least one other social media account. (reddit, twitter, instagram, facebook, mastodon, tumblr, bluesky are all accepted.) If you don't want your alts to be public, you can send them as a private DM to me. Applications don't have a fixed close date, but we're looking for at least four new mods in multiple time zones.
I will be personally selecting all new additions to the mod team. Please be civil, and good luck!
With some of the rhetoric I was seeing I felt like it was my responsibility to say something.
Literally
On the other hand, not voting or voting uncommitted in the presidential primary is completely fine. Literally no issue with that
We now have a shared mod email for you to send complaints, issues, praise, ideas, mod applications, really anything to. All of the 196 mods have access to this.
be sure to caption your moldy posts moldy Monday :)) sorry for not posting this the last few Monday's I forgot
Poll verdict:
all AI generated content is now banned.
moldy memes will now be kept to moldy Monday. on moldy Monday moldy memes are encouraged. on every other day they will be removed. bonus points if minions are somehow involved. you also receive bonus points if your image has two or more filters/watermarks, and is under one megabyte large
but no, we do not support hamas
Hamas is no longer any sort of threat, and requiring written condemnation of their terror attack with every post about the current razing of Gaza indirectly reinforces the purported thesis behind Israel's continued wonton destruction which is that Hamas is a threat, and Hamas will attack the moment the bombs stop.
sorry for not making this post sooner, I've kind of been completely absent for the past 3+ months
what the fuck does that even mean
Now personally I think we have the word takie pretty well defined in our rules and have no intention of changing it. Fuck tankies, they don't belong here.
I didn't write fuck commies, or fuck libtards, (I am a vocal socialist and very far left) or anything like that, the banner is specifically about pro-auth dictator-worshipping tankies.
I'm high as balls right now so I'll respond to these messages tomorrow
This person has no problem dating someone who identifies as male but is exclusively attracted to "conventionally" female bodies and is expressing that while they would date a trans man, they don't think it would work because the female traits they are attracted to are the same traits that your average transmasc wouldn't quite enjoy having.
I'll ban you for one day because you didn't do anything against the rules
yes but also if you're in a swing state maybe don't vote third party for the executive office. Rn the thrid party persidential candidates aren't super strong, and the bulk of political momentum is bipartisan. Local and state gov is a totally different situation depending on your state.
