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.

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.

Hasan, what do we think of Taiwan?
Definitely didnt get his mansion from CCP curator.
it should be in the hands of the taiwanese people though; it's not for imperialists to decide.
Water is wet??!
When did he say this? I can't really find a source. Otherwise it's about as believable as this: Martti, what do we think about China?
That's a direct quote btw.
Sorry, I have no idea what exact part of h2 podcast that was, but i found someone's reaction to ts https://youtube.com/watch?v=oVrfN_uq2XQ
I was pretty sure everyone knows that :/
That's pretty damn reductive.
Sure, he has some tankie takes , that one being an example, but he has a lot of good ones too, about Palestine, cops, healthcare, Luigi, general anti-authoritarianism, and much more.
He's a relatively young dude giving his opinion for FSM knows how many hours a week, so he's bound to have a shitty take here and there.
That doesn't mean he's on the payroll of China, much less owes his wealth exclusively or primarily to such corrupt dealings 🙄
Childish protectivness never leaves us I assume? My statement is, that he is not allowed to criticize china, and has dual standards. Like when Chinese police took his phone, it is okay, because yara-yara. But when the very same thing is done by really similar country (U.S) it is worst crime against humanity.
I personally dont want to trust a person that has high likelyhood of being chinese proxy, and will eventually betray the new left in the interests of corpocratic regime like china.
YOooo new schizo conspiracy theory dropped les gooooo
fun twist with the ccp mansion. A commie castle if you will. A tier schizoposting, you get a gold star from me 🎖️
Very funny. But yes he is not allowed to criticize china for some reason, and also has lots of money, this makes it utterly suspicious. And I wouldnt want to trust this person as some kind of leader.
Source on him not being allowed to critisize china then? Just give me anything else than your word, cause that dont mean anything to me my guy 💁
