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.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.
No threats or personal attacks.
No spam.
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.

Those buttons aren't there to be used. They contain tracking links.
Don't even need to click them for them to track you 🙂
...what
When viewing public content, like YouTube or Maps, sure you're right. But that's besides the point given that the post clearly refers to editors, not just viewers.
On cloud editors where my documents are non-public until I explicitly enable public access "for anyone with the link" - by using the share button - it's not much tracking but literally required functionality. Even if we ignore corporate crap, that also applies to privacy focused, self hosted options like Immich
Can't I just export to a file and share that? Yes, in some cases, but not in all. I might need collaborative features or I'm working on a weird type of document where I can't expect the recipient to have compatible native software installed, or it might be in a work context where my personal choices for software might be limited.
this "editor" is probably a electron app that shows you a web app, or some other web based thingz so every vendor connected to that button is collecting data all the same like every other website
That's clearly not a social share button depicted in the drawing. It's an os / custom sharing button. Not to mention social share buttons don't necessarily load from the shared platform's own website, run javascript or track you across browsers.
Share buttons exist because people use them.
It sounds like you're both talking past each other re: is it the "share on Facebook" tracking thing, or the smartphone "share" button that is just how you export a file these days.
I'm not sure what you mean to say by posting this picture. Maria's comment was,
Which, given the context, made me think of the "share on Instagram" buttons you see on other Web pages, but not this picture.
This is just straight up wrong. If you see an "Edit in Canva" or whatever button in an editing suite or software by even a medium sized technology company, it's not a surface controlled and tracked by Canva - it would have been implemented by a developer working for the editing suite or technology company or whatever. Those kinds of features are usually part of user growth agreements in which one company pays the other (or reciprocally expects to refer a similar number of users) to be featured. Engagement is typically tracked internally for contractual reasons, but I've never heard of it being shared with third parties (because doing so would almost always violate privacy policies and open up the company to lawsuits).
