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.

This is the future the muskies want 😔

Honestly, being able to forcibly implant empathy in somebody has a certain appeal... At the very least, it's a more interesting variety of cyberpunk dystopia than the one we've already got.

Might make for an interesting plot device for a novel, at least.

No.

do not do this. gender dysphoria is unfortunately not som hihi im shy and slightly uncomfy now thing. it like - really gets u down.

no matter how bad the insult, how bad the action or how genuinely awful the motivation, nobody. NOBODY deserves to have gender dysphoria.

i wouldn't want my worst enemies to have gender dysphoria. like - i wouldn't even want big evil cooperate people to have it. I wouldn't want Musk or whoever to have it, yes even tho he is very evil and non-human to his kid.

The one exception would be Trump, cuz he would then have genuine empathy for trans people and hopefull do som gud stuff for once. it would support non cis-hets a LOT so i think it is a worthwhile tradeoff. Especially if Trump does end up transitioning, then it would all be good again.

"living" with this insanely aggressivle hurtle in my head is so very like - it feels like self-destruction.

me yappin a bit more (CONTENT WARNING: gender uncomfy feels. maybe don't read if u uncomfy)

  • The fact that my bodily hormones are actively getting me into a direction i really, really really really don't want to go feels awful
  • Every time i move i feel evil disgusting uncomfy ~genitals~ which - they feel way more prominant than they should be i feels
  • uncomfy wide shoulders make me uncomf in every clothing, no matter what sex they made for. they feel genuinely incorrectly large, bulky and unpractical
  • awful ewewew please never come back feels when ~horni~. like - imagine jus not havin that :o that'd be SO cool ~
  • even awfuler feels of seeing other fem peeps jus kinda - already being where i could not dream of being with literally <null> effort.. ;(
  • less awful feels when interacting with comf transfems 🏳️‍⚧️ <3 who are already where i dream of being, while im still actively getting more disgusting manlier by the minute
  • jus - showering. the combo of havin to interact with ~disgusting~ parts, havin to rub stuffs over uncomfiest shoulders n ugl legs :ogre while also smlling ewewew uncomfy smells from body is jus - sucha genuine uncomfy thing.
  • voice evil- - voice like - is vrrri uncomf. onli one positive thing: i can sound like show moderator or bulshid "epic" narrator, but that's it. is jus - so very like - no. i sound aggressive and angry and unpleasant and like - i rlli dun wanna!, i wana sound friendly <3 and like i wana make u happi <3 becuz i do!!
  • gender-non-specific one: i rlli dun like big adams apple. it's just uncomfy in a physical way. whenever i lean back, it pokes through and hurts. sometime even when sitting nrmli, it hurts. touching it hurts. can't wear som clothing cuz it press to much there (made for fems) and that hurt ;(
  • peeps seeing mi and jus - the immediate ah, this a guy realisation... it - it feels like - - like NO!! ~(im~ ~sorri~ ~for~ ~yelling~ ~but~ ~this~ ~rlli~ ~sad~ ~fr~ ~me...)~ i think i am: empathetic, mostly reasonalbe, logical thinking, mostly understandable and want peeps to feel comfy, i dun want to be seen as a selfish capitalist, or even a comfy male person. i much rather be super masc tomboy than super cutsie fem femboy.
  • big sads cuz complete distancing from anything dating... jus - me thinks im ~mostly~ ~lsbn~ ~so~ ~ys...~ but i dun am girl ------.-.- so . -- -. i cand even like - present myslf as lsbn ;( m not evn as 5th preddi as womn ~

that's it, no more uncomf bullet points. this is it. period. i dun wana lisd mor. cuz - i imagine sad transfms or nonbinaries reading this an goin "oh no... this so me frfr skibidi pap pap" an i dun wan that. pls tell me if u uncomf cuz of this so i cn remove or change <3

I’m straight up not reading all that

It’s just a meme

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 1 day ago

yesyes perfectly reasonable. u don hav to, i jus wanted to point out it's not cool to mek joke about that i thinks... or maybe im overreacting. imma get some feedback from som lemmi frens

[–] drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dracula Flow guy does say he skinned a guy alive for trying to steal his Amazon package, so it seems like something he might do.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i hav never heard of this guy, he hav som weird hair. well yes, of course there are people who overreact, but like - i dun feel this is adding much to the conversation.

i go: nunu, gender dysphoria very bad, do not give it to others. u go: this one apparently evil guy might give it to thers.

or maybe im missing something here

[–] tjsauce@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The joke is that he's so callous he would give dysphoria to someone likely cis, using cyborg technology, all because of road rage.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 day ago

yesyes i recognized that. It's an overreaction meme and a funi about dystopia... something along those lines.

but still, i dun like it being made jokes about the sad feels... that's like - lol u tooky seat, u now hav depression lol

i dun think that's verri funi..
