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.

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.
This isn't because of you. This has nothing to do with what you did, even tho it was mean.
It's because of me. My pretentious support of women's rights while spewing blatant misogyny, erasing the experiences of non-trans gender-nonconforming people, spreading right-wing propaganda, absolutely annoying people who just want clean and readable feeds, basically forcing my obnoxious personality into every nook and cranny of this place. It's all on me.
So sorry, but it's better this way. Being overdramatic is just my style so just writing this is proof of my extreme arrogance. I enjoyed my time here. Thanks you all.
Hey I know we don't know each other but from everything I've seen from your posts I think you're wonderful and are being too harsh on yourself. Transfems are regularly pressured into silencing themselves and to make themselves smaller for other people's comfort. I hope things get better for you and that you can experience more moments of joy like you brought to us with your presence.
Girl, I love you and love your contribution to this community.
Stay silly. o7
NOOOOOOOO
Nah but for real (just for your general fund of information) I’ve enjoyed all your posts; your memes bang, and I hope you’re doing alright. Truly, if people on Lemmy wanted something sanitized, then they should’ve stayed in the padded, corporate white walls of Reddit, and if someone doesn’t like your content, then they can damn well block you. It’s barely even an inconvenience.
It isn’t obnoxious for you to live your truth, nor to post about it. It isn’t arrogant to be known, nor to be missed, which you will be.
Hey girl, I'm just a random soul lurking around without posting (this is actually my first comment here) but I wanted to say that I really enjoyed your posts.
I know life can be a bitch and everything can seem dark. I just wanted to put my little stone here and say that a random trans girl likes what you did, the joy you bring here and maybe a little touch of chaos too ;)
Be yourself, that's the most important and take all the time you need to feel better!
Love from a stranger <3
Everyone enjoys you here, Miisha. I'm glad this trouble in your life right now* is not as serious as I thought and I hope you'll be back doing what folks loved you for. You don't need to post that often either: do what's comfortable and sustainable.
* Edit: this is the situation in question
Hi Miisha,
You are loved here. Its ok, you have done nothing wrong. Its ok. Its ok. Its ok.
Misha, sis. I wish I could lift this veil in front of your eyes and make you see how much life and humanity you breath into the community. People who want clean and readable feeds can go fly a kite, this isn't a billionaire-owned newsroom. This is a place shock full of queer, messy, flawed, amazing, radiant people and there's a seat with your name on it. I hope I'll see you wreck this feed silly many times again. Whatever you ultimately decide, take care of yourself.
Hey, love, I barely know you, but I wanted to let you know that my impressions of you have been nothing but positive.
Now stop bein so mean to our friend (you) ❤️
come back if/when you are ready, but if it isn't good for your mental health, please prioritize and take care of yourself.
~~Hey fuck off.~~
That's not what Miisha was doing.
I will. Sorry Velma. You were honestly great and super kind to me. Sorry for ruining it like I always do...
If it wasn't clear, this is me. This is my old account. Sorry for being me
Oh babes! Goodness gracious, no, don't be sorry.
You didn't ruin anything. I wish you'd stick around.
Hey miisha, you wouldn't know me but I've appreciated your posts and comments. Stay with us here please.
Wait, wait, wait....maybe I misunderstood your comment. It read like you were making fun of Miisha there. What's up with this?
This is miisha's other account
Her self-deprecating talk really had me thinking it was someone actually making fun of and being relieved she was gone.
I saw the correction from her, but thank you so much for letting me know.
I don't understand anything that is happening :(
Miisha, we love you we care about you. Its a relief to hear you're doing all right. I love your posts, and your self assessment is very off base. It may have been a little too much all at once, but we love having you here.
Given the state of the world, I get very worried when trans people disappear without explanation. You don't have to stay here if this community is not best for you, but if you leave please at least leave a note saying you're fine. I don't want to have to worry about you but I can't help it.
Miisha I dont know you, but, through seeing your interactions with others and your amazing meme dump. I even stalked your page for more memes. I promise, you are being too hard on yourself babes. We all love you here.
As someone currently learning more about herself, seeing your posts has been nothing but sunshine these last few days! The world is full of haters, I'm so sorry people are pushing you to think that you've been doing something wrong.
Love, you're in no way what you describe here, not to me and likely not to many others here.
While I would gladly go to sleep to never wake up again, I enjoy interacting with you and your posts.
Sis, you're loved, you can get to your lovely otter for ears, hugs and paws.
Haters gonna hate tbh. Any time you put yourself out there. I enjoyed your manic posting spree. People burn accounts for worse reasons though so o7
Woah wtf? Sis you okay?
I got no vibes of right wing propaganda (unless I missed something??). You’re just, for lack of a way to put it, blazingly, unapologetically heterosexual lol.
Just bc most Lemmy posters lean LGB, doesn’t mean you sharing your POV is an offense :( from what I’ve seen you’ve been nothing but super sweet and refreshingly candid. You’re not obligated to stay here ofc but I do hope you find some joy whatever you decide. Please don’t feel apologetic for being you! /gen /pos
She's only been hateful towards herself, never anyone else. I think she's in dire need of several IRL friends who shower her with affirming words so that she internalizes them, and shield her from potential hate from outside.
The internet can be a crappy place, and you gotta take care of you. All I ever saw was somebody trying to work on being the best self they could be. Hope you get there. We're cheering for you.
