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.

true for any industry. look for how badly we have fucked up our soil
it does. what I choose to not eat I need to compensate, so there is no choice of not eating something, only real choice is what to eat
Consider the amount of corn and soy grown for livestock.
consider the amount of whatever we will have to grow to substitute meat
That would be much less than what we grow for that meat.
Possibly. Does it sound like "yeah, the problem of humans pushing other life forms into starvation and extinction is solved with this one simple trick"?
It doesn't. But you pointed out soil degradation. Just wanted to point out the impact of animal agriculture on soil degradation.
As you said, we can only choose what to eat.
Yup. We are doing all kinds of wrong things
You forget to consider amounts. Some industries and foods have more effect than others, and the less you eat, the less of an effect you have.
*the less humans are on the planet, the lesser footprint we leave. It should be handled this way but alas, we are not even close
The reason we take care of a fish tank, is to maintain the fish.
We did not setup the planet to plant humans here now, did we?
You did not setup a planet.
Exactly. So what are you trying to say with that fishtank?
It allowed us to be here so don't mess with it.
Exactly. Like I said, the fewer of us, the lesser our strain on everything around
If your goal is to reduce "strain on everything around" (whatever that means), it looks like either a: you starve people, or b: we reduce our fossil fuel consumption. I'd choose b.
B is not a solution. Nor A is needed. Come on, it's not rocket surgery
Then I have no idea what problem you're talking about and what you want from me.
Sounds like you want to make money off fossil fuels and you want me to tell you that's fine, but I'm no rocket surgeon.
From you - nothing, I am merely responding to you. The problem is two-fold: one, we are still taking care of our survival at the expense of all other life forms: agriculture that destroys soil, manufacturing that is poisoning water, soil and air, etc. etc. All this can be done in a much more effective and sustainable way. Two, whichever way we do it, planet is finite, so ever increasing human population is a disaster in making. It is time we realized that and started managing our numbers in such a way we don't starve other life just by existing
Alright so then reduce your fossil fuel consumption. That's b. Bye now.
Alright, so reading problems. Bye, good luck to you
