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.

I wonder if they keep the toilet part of her grave separate from the dance floor 🤔
You pee on the grave itself, dance on the headstone.
Better hope there were no cameras or else urine trouble.
what did she do? i dont follow other countries politics (unless its literally thrown in my face every time a president does something stupid like what's happening in the US)
It would be easier to list the things she didn’t do.
Long and short, screwed over a lot of minorities, oversaw a lot of violent conflicts, and reshaped the UK economy and government to benefit the financial sector and ultra wealthy at the expense of everyone else.
British Ronald Reagan
He got his playbook from her, I believe.
i don't know this person either
It's multifaceted, but I can mention one of the things she messed up: She made council houses a commodity^[1], and now everyone is paying the price because nobody can afford to buy their own home because said council houses have been taken over by greedy landlords that keep the rent so high that nobody can afford to save up for a house of their own.
What she did was the equivalent of pissing in your trousers to keep warm..
Council houses used to be the affordable stepping stone before you saved enough money for your own place.
Fucked up unions, fucked up the workers, fucked up villages, fucked up the Queer community, war crimes, tax breaks for the rich, privatised core infrastructure, tried to fuck up the EU...
she did do one good thing though
she died
30 fckn years too late. No accolades for that.
Yes, but it took her incredibly long and she didn't accept any help
She was a pretty hated British Prime Minister during the 1980s. When she died in 2013, people celebrated with the music "Ding dong, the witch is dead!" - Here's one such video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hvccEpOFhc
It got into the top ten music charts too iirc - and the bbc refused to play it on the chart countdown.

Over saw Section 28.
She also destroyed communities by destroying unions associated with mining and steel works.
She was against german reunification at the time and was deeply suspicious about Germany and their people and politicians.
You get different answers depending on who you ask. Of course, those on the left despise her for good reasons, which others have already mentioned.
Then on the one hand, there is argument to be made that her deregulation did save UK from bankruptcy at the time of financial turmoil catalysed by the 1970s oil crisis. The deregulation, of course, made her a darling among the right because it also made businesses more flexible.
Another bit to note is that, whether you are left or right, it is undeniable she handled the Falklands War impressively. That is commendable regardless of one's political leaning.
damn, a politically impartial comment is rare here, thanks for giving out more info!
I personally loathe Thatcher, but one has to give credit to where it's due.
Typical right-wing bullshit.
Obligatory
"I'd put a stake through her heart and garlic round her neck to make sure she'd never come back"
Even as a yank, I love this.
Fuck you Maggie. Rot in hell.
Mrs Thatcher Milk Snatcher.
Why is the white bar of the trans flag green?
It's also a pH strip?
That’s both hilarious and pretty much accurate to what color a pH strip would turn if the average person urinated on it, for anyone was wondering.
Did she do any LGBTQ policies or even expressed any LGBTQ related opinions?
Well, I didn't even know that transgender people existed until my 20's because of her. Also 'gay' was the most common insult throughout my childhood.
I never heard “gay” as an insult until I moved when I was 12, then I heard it a lot from the kids in my new school, always thought it was fucked up, and didn’t like the kids who were saying it.
It was 100% normal for me - we were all using it at a young age (or local insults meaning the same) without really even knowing what it meant. I don't think I realised that gay people really existed until I was a teenager.
Doesn't matter, it's thatcher
Ahh this is what i recommended under someone elses post a few weeks ago
