Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

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.

People say the Joker is Batman's nemesis, and they're wrong. Joker doesn't matter to Batman, he's just another two-bit villain. But Batman is the Joker's nemesis. Because the Joker needs everyone to think he's funny, and Batman is a man with no sense of humour. Batman will never laugh and Joker will never stop trying to get a laugh from him. Batman is a great character to add to any Joker story.
But Joker is way more interesting in stories where he sucks. Harley Quinn is great because Joker is just another rapey man (who looks like Elon Musk) and he only matters because the patriarchy (and Harley) lets him matter. And Joker in Batman Beyond is hilarious, because Terry as Batman does have a sense of humour, and he knows Joker isn't funny.

[MINOR DIGIMON TIME STRANGER SPOILERS] I love when bigots talks about a franchise they don't know lmaoo
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
For context: People has been arguing about the "Type A/B" which is just the same as "Are you a Girl/Boy" with a different name, but because of how they weaponized that kind of stuff some companies don't want use it to look like if they're appealing to the bigots or something like that. And of course they're shitting on Bandai for being "too woke" without even knowing this stuff.
They even't booted the demo, but if you play enough you can see that Devimon (which is one evolution from one of the starter) evolves to LadyDevimon. This kind of stuff has been possible in the franchise like for ever is just that the anime doesn't show it (Specially the older seasons)

Hello wonderful gay people in my laptop!
I washed my stinky rain jacket today and bits of it fell apart and are now stuck on all my clothes. I just LOVE microplastics on my clothes and face.
So, I was looking at jackets today that hopefully weren't entirely made from synthetic material, and woe, all of the mens jackets are different shades of black or dark blue. The womans jackets however... Flame orange? Spicy Red? Yesss! But, how can I know what size fits my male-ness? Can you give me some tips? Just the tips?
Tnks! :3
