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.

Conservatives I respect = None, conservativism is basically selfishness.
there's some for a political ideology that considered any change to be dangerous, and we should be cautious regarding trying new things...
and that is what "conservatism" sounds like.
but they aren't conservatives, they are reactionaries, they want to push the whole system to the right.
"Conservatives I respect:
The ones that stay quiet about their true feelings about how they believe that various groups of people they don't like don't deserve human rights" 🤡
Nah. I've tried to stay friends with conservatives before. They eventually reveal their most inhumane thoughts sooner or later.
I don't want to be friends with someone who wants my trans friends "purged", believes that women are inferior, thinks that people protesting for their rights is "terrorism", etc.
No fucking thank you.
yeah this is where i'm at. they both voted for me to not have rights so fuck 'em, they're the same to me.
Shit meme. Everyone everywhere needs to adopt a policy of zero capitulation to reactionaries and their framings.
To any conservatives for the rest of time: fuck top category conservatives just as much. Yeah you're just as bad as the bottom category, but you're just enough of a fucking snake to hide your worst impulses and blend in with polite society.
Lol conservatives aren't worth your respect
conservatives i respect:
- Louis Rossmann
Is he a conservative??? I never would’ve guessed that lol
He said it in one video, but can't remember when. But if you never could've guessed it, then it shouldn't change your opinion on him.
I think there are political views that, even if privately held, should change your opinion of someone. “Conservative” is nebulous, so knowing exactly that much and nothing else about someone’s views doesn’t tell you much in this instance, but I don’t know if that logic holds generally.

at least with maga you know they're dangerous, like a bright colorful snake
Lmao the conservatives I respect aren't republicans, they see trump for what he is and have been voting biden
The problem is that I don't respect "conservatives" if they continue to substantially support abusive politicians, organizations, and groups. I don't care if you're respectful and not personally bigoted; there's no excuse for supporting disrespectful and bigoted actions. Unless you admit your sins and agree to not support Nazis anymore, then your sympathy will never be enough.

i really wanna ask some questions, genuinely in good faith as it seems you may misunderstand how politics affects real peoples lives.
would you respect them if they were racist, just not around you?
would you respect them if they were queerphobic, just not around you?
would you respect them if they voted for, and supported, politicians willing and ready to take away your rights or the rights of others?
why would you want to interact with someone who disagrees with peoples rights to live?
this is assuming you are a member of some minority (queer, of color, etc.) if you arent, then i guess i understand.
This is a revamping of the meme about gay people that was complaining about looking colorful, caring about LGBTQ rights, mentioning their partners in conversation the same way straight people do, and maybe having a lisp? It’s thankfully been a long time since I saw it.
You’re right, but I don’t think the OP actually means it, they’re just trying to flip the script on conservatives. I’m not the OP though, so I could be wrong

Conservatives i can respect:
• Joe Biden
I have no sympathy for Genocide Joe
Joseph Robinette "Civil Asset Forfeiture" Biden, Jr? nah fuck that guy he can rot
"Kind" Germans vs bad Germans during the Holocaust:
There were some 800.000 Germans arrested for "resistance activities" during WW2, and tens of thousands were executed for it.
Now, I'm not saying those were all good people, but there were at least some good Germans. But terrifyingly few.
They weren't "moderate" conservatives, they were mostly leftists
That's probably almost entirely true. I'm willing to bet the worst thing a lot of those 800k did was "be communist".
Remember kids be like the Bohemians (the couple who resisted the Nazis during WW2)
Capitalism leads to monopoly and imperialism. Fascist are the useful idiots of empire. Both political parties in Yankee dumb dumb land are right wing. This has all to do with socioeconomics and the populist movements in merikkka. This meme is an example of how lazy children think. Liberals will not save you they are controlled opposition. Fuck Nancy pelosi. We are too busy slaving away to have friends anyways.
i think the point they're trying to make is that people who make politics their entire personality suck, and at least for me that's true regardless of what side of the political spectrul they're on. but even if they're chill outside of that and you can have a good conversation with a conservative, the fact they agree with people that want me dead is still gonna leave a sour taste in my mouth
hell, those more reasonable conservatives might be worth a 5 minute talk. i've seen people who vote conservative for purely economic reasons and never really thought about the whole killing minorities thing, and when i explained it to them they reconsidered
though to be clear, that's where i'm from. you cannot make the same argument for trump voters

Conservatives think that other people having basic human rights somehow alienates their's. There is no respectable conservative, since I can't respect someone that thinks in this way.
conservatives i respect: -didnt vote for trump -arent ignorant or uninformed

I said it before: those people are not conservative. They don't want to conserve anything, they don't want to caution against change or are stuck in their old ways.
Those people are reactionaries who want to return to a past that never really was, and fascists who think a strong leader will hurt the right people.
Don't allow them to mask as moderates of any color. Don't accept that being racist, sexist, corrupt and proudly admitting to be it are moderate, sensible, acceptable positions instead of radical extremist ones.
Now ship them!
