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.

tendy, choccy, and appy just make my skin crawl when I hear anyone over the age of 5 say it.
skill issue
Appy feels weird to me. Not actually sure what tendy even is. Tender, as in chicken tender?
But choccy is incredibly common here in Aus. Especially when "chocolate" is used as an adjective. You're less likely (though certainly not unlikely) to hear "do you want some choccy", but "do you want some choccy milk" is very normal.
Yeah, tendy is a chicken tender. I don't know if people actually use the phrase, but it was a joke used to talk about the fat internet (4chan in particular) person a long time ago, with them yelling to their mom for more tendies. I don't know if I've ever heard anyone say it in real life, but I have heard people use it as a joke in video game chats, and in text all over the internet.
Chockie bickie is peak Aussie slang, said by all ages.
And that's why we keep you fuckers all the way down there.
Fuck yeah. I would sometimes pull a snickers out of ny pocket asking co-workers if they wanted "pocky choccy" just to see them try to compute what I was saying.
The spot for "appy" in my brain was already taken up by someone's fictional boss mispronouncing "API" (content warning: YT short), and "choccy" just sounds vaguely Bri'ish to me, so thankfully I don't have this problem.
(I just realized when pasting that link that Shorts don't include tracking components in their URLs, unlike regular videos. Weird.)
Unless you are talking to your pet in a baby voice for them, of course.
Yeah, they only work in a baby voice. Either a baby saying it, or an adult in a baby voice is fine. If an adult is doing a baby voice and not talking to a pet or a baby though, something is probably off with them.
Yummy is one for me. I know it's pretty, I don't care. Immediate disregard to anything you have to say after that.
Mmm, moist and yummy.
Yeah, baby talk in general is just off putting. Other than a child young enough that that's the best they can do, I can't think of a single case where it isn't off putting for me.
