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

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".

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.

Good enough can be good for some. Obviously personal choice, etc. But relatively good health when compared to those that are suffering more is not a satisfactory measure of your own health.
If you feel you’re doing enough, that’s fine. But you’re using the health issues and habits of others to rationalize your own choices. WHO also says veganism is good for all stages of life and lists deli meat as carcinogenic and red meat as most likely carcinogenic to humans.
The sad part here is that you don’t think positive action is reasonable if there’s no monetary payout or benefit. You sound like a sad capitalist who needs to look at the system they’re (seemingly begrudgingly) upholding.
I completely agree, but that's because the average bar is really low. No point to compare anything against that.
Though good enough doesn't imply that it's a comparison to anyone else or the general public. Good enough is sufficient for a specific need or circumstances, though not perfect. It indicates a threshold has been met where the results are functional enough with further improvements providing minimal benefits.
From the perspective of diet, good enough would be something that gets all the necessary nutrients in with minimal health consequences while supporting daily activities and being easily accessible and affordable.
Depending of the time of the year, 75-90% of my diet consist of oats, potatoes, buckwheat, rice, pasta as the main source of carbs and bulk of the calories. Chicken breast or lean cuts of pork and dairy products for protein and fats to support repair and growth from training and hormonal functions. Cucumbers, tomatoes, paprika, pickles, onions, carrots, garlic for the vitamins and volume and some fruits as a quick carb source before training sessions. All of it is always easily available and oftentimes on a sale and most of it can be bought in bulk then. While being super easy and fast to prepare. Bloodwork and health check-ups done multiple times a year are almost always in order, ferritin was kinda low last year and i overcompensated too much with it, though there aren't any significant issues with daily energy levels neither are there any daily tasks i have difficulties with. As most of it does go under whole foods so the long term health risks should be minimal as well.
Rest is filled with junk, snacks or social events.
It's not perfect, but it's good enough. Though of course I'm open to any criticisms towards it.
So I'm not against veganism or in any way saying it's bad, it would just go against the good enough principle by adding in an extra layer of complexity with minimal benefits.
The energy required to maintain that extra layer of complexity can be used in other aspects of life to once again achieve or maintain good enough results.
As for the last part. I didn't invent that system, I'm just playing around in it with available resources. Though yeah, positive action is kinda meaningless and does jackshit, at least in the current system.
