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.
I just find it amusing honestly. Would you expect a continuation of the circlejerk?
I have a car that I drive until I need to use my truck…which I do often as I’m in the middle of building a two story off-grid cabin.
It always just seems like sheltered urbanites screaming into a void when the topic ever arises here. Blanket statements, black and white suggestions, and the incapability to understand why one might own a truck.
Many people don’t need trucks, but many do. Calling them all stupid because you don’t have a need for one says more about you than them.
Try putting a quad in the back of a van and tell me how it goes.
That is because you don't realize how small of a portion of the population lives in cities vs. rural areas. I have literally already stated how people who are in rural areas are not the problem with pickups inherently because the vast majority of human beings live in cities/urban areas. Think about the logic here, it is natural for you to feel this way given most of the people online are going to statistically be people who live in more urban areas than you do and experience annoying things that you do not as you live in a different type of area that is uncommon for people to live in. That is cool! Keep living in the woods, I love the woods, but please stop pretending like I am talking past people like you when I am not. You are talking past me and not listening to my words.
This is also literally what everyone responds with a pickup too, it must be in the manual!
Isn't that basically how most non-street legal racing vehicles are moved? I mean sure a pickup is fine for that, so is a trailer even though it is more annoying... but this is all entirely missing the point of what I am saying.
Damn son. You take yourself too seriously. Nobody gives a fuck lol. Go outside homie.
goes outside
gets hit by pickup truck
