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 hope you don't mind me asking, and I don't want to cause any upset with my ignorance, but what is it that you're looking for from hormones? Feel free to ignore the question if you don't like it or can't be bothered with it.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Could I tune the 5g frequency just enough to get my ass a little fatter and my chest just barely large enough to fill out my dresses? I don't need dramatic changes, just a lil help.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 26 points 21 hours ago

You have to submit a ticket

[–] Emmie@lemm.ee 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (2 children)

You can take whatever and if you keep your calories low (17 BMI let’s say) nothing too big will grow. Human body is easily malleable with the right chemicals intake and exercise

Then in my view it’s better to have small tits you can enlarge through implants with a skinny waist and muscle butt.

It’s not too easy but food addiction is more controllable than video games addiction in my view. I forget about food most of the time while gaming is like ‚just one more turn’

Also lordosis remember the secret ingredient to successful only fans

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 46 minutes ago (2 children)

At 5'8" a BMI of 17 has you at 90 pounds. Being "accustomed" to being dangerously thin just means you're ignoring the warnign signs that your body is eating itself alive.

[–] Emmie@lemm.ee 2 points 37 minutes ago* (last edited 32 minutes ago)

Your math is so off, its around 120 pounds

Your numbers would mean BMI of like 14 💀

Appreciate the effort I had to do to switch my brain to imperial units because you didn’t want to google it in 5 seconds

[–] Emmie@lemm.ee 1 points 29 minutes ago* (last edited 26 minutes ago)

And be honest sis you just jelly and prolly wanna see my fabulous ab

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

17 BMI is like dangerously low lol, and would go beyond my already dangerous enough diet of 70% of my BMR. I'll agree that it's better to have a big butt, but I dunno if I wanna go that extreme for it!

[–] Emmie@lemm.ee -2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (3 children)

It’s only dangerous if your body is unaccustomed. I have been my whole life around that, even if I wanted not to, but then my bones are small. I can clamp fingers around my wrist easily it’s just that small for some reason

If you can’t clamp your thumb and middle finger around the opposite wrist you probably are of bigger sort and your bones weigh and connect much more tissue at the same height

consider an equation of surface of the cylinder -> 2 * pi * r * h (idealized bone where we assume h is same among same height individuals) it’s merely a puny linear scaling of the amount of tissues but still. One person radius of the bone 3 cm, second 4.5 cm will result in linear increase of 1.5 of tissues minus some constant stuff and other shapes.

So if my bones are x and yours 1.5x thicker then your weight will be less than 1.5 times of mine weight at the same height which is making the whole BMI thing a plain nonsense

And we haven’t even touched whether cm3 of fat weighs the same as cm3 of muscles (it doesn’t)

BMI is literally useless trash or even detrimental.

I have a better measure. If you can see abs in the mirror in the morning it means you have achieved the ultimate perfection of human form. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now you only need to maintain it for as long as you can as you age.

And remember about rhabdo being a thing if you want to go for hours 7 days a week. If your pee turns brown it is doctor time

I can clamp fingers around my wrist easily it’s just that small for some reason

So can I but I'm not hella low BMI.

[–] amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

nice way to gamify eating disorders! totally not disturbing!

[–] Emmie@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

If you want to achieve perfection and ascend above mere mortals you can’t shy from the challenge. Human body is to be shaped as we desire, reflecting the inner resilience.

Anything else would do injustice to what we are.

[–] amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

nice way to erase fat people from the human experience. it totally doesn't sound fashy at all

[–] Emmie@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

It would be nice if you learned how to read

Just because facists liked twisted Nietzsche doesn’t mean they get to keep him hostage forever

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 17 hours ago

I can pretty easily clamp my wrists with my thumb and ring finger, so I think our bodytypes may be similar. That being said, I think soft belly > abs, and your level of training would might actually kill me.

They need to work on those 5G towers, they don't affect me TwT

[–] forwhomthecattolls@sh.itjust.works 10 points 18 hours ago

Brb gotta go take down the Faraday cage I've been sleeping in so the towers can feminize me :3

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 21 hours ago

oh I wish sooooooooooo much to be prtti <3

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 16 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I have to take off my tinfoil to be pretty?

[–] PowerfulTurtle@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 hours ago

I don't think the tinfoil was doing anything to begin with.

[–] Lumelore@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

If you don't want boobs, you could take raloxifene alongside estradiol to get feminization without much or any breast growth.

[–] PowerfulTurtle@lemmy.ca 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I didn't even know that was a thing. In the past I've been told I should just embrace boobs and that there is no way. Time to do some research on that see if maybe it's something I could do.

[–] TheFresh16@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Sorry for the book...

This is anecdotal and varies highly by person, but I'll drop my experience here since raloxifene reports are still few and far between (and I was recently searching far and wide for them). Ralox was relatively effective for me but not perfect, but I do owe the initiation of my hrt journey to it. Overall I would say that it isn't a long term solution, but it can be a useful tool in determining what is right for you.

As a non-binary transfem person, I initially went on Ralox along with E (and Spiro) about 1.5 years ago. R blocked (or at least slowed) the majority of my boob growth for basically the whole year I was on it, paired with E doses of under about 6mg taken orally (or only 2mg E taken sublingually due to higher metabolized peaks). E doses higher than that tended to overpower Ralox and I would notice chest sensitivity within a few days, guiding me to lower my E. (Fwiw I did this 'experimentation' with my doctor's approval and under their care).

Within those ranges, my chest had minor growth but it was largely due to general fat redistribution (for note I am a fairly avg body type/weight), I would say that I stayed within the Tanner stage 1 or beginnings of stage 2. This would be the sweet spot (for me) to avoid any real breast growth. My ass however, got thicc pretty fast - which was honestly amazing to watch grow lol.

Eventually I really started to love being on E, and my brain and body wanted more of it lol. I began on 6mg E taken sublingually, and rather quickly saw some boob growth (bumping me into tanner 3), but they... sorta grew on me? Before long I dropped ralox entirely and am now leaning fully into E 😅.

All in all I am happy that I started off with Raloxifene + E, primarily because it gave me the comfort I needed to start E at all. Once on E for a while, it really rewired my brain and made me realize my hold-up on having breasts was largely due to social fears of transition. It's still scary and hard sometimes, but I'm so much more self-confident just through the biochemical benefits that the E therapy has provided. I still don't want large breasts by any means, but it's no longer a big concern of mine in the big picture of my transition.

Sorry again for hijacking this thread, I just felt compelled to share in hopes that it may assist in someone's journey!

[–] PowerfulTurtle@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 hours ago

Don't worry, I appreciate people sharing their experience, especially since Ralox is new and doesn't have a lot of studies yet, so learning about people's experience with it is very helpful.

[–] Valorie12@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Is there anything that does the opposite?

[–] Lumelore@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

By opposite, I'm assuming you mean breast growth with no other feminizing changes? That I am not sure about how to achieve. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking that one could maybe go on a T blocker and/or estradiol for a while, and then stop. The breasts should still persist despite stopping, although they may shrink somewhat. Aside from that there is also breast augmentation surgery.

[–] Valorie12@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

By opposite I meant feminization but more boobs, but I realize that's not the "exact" opposite. I've been on HRT for nearly two years now, but boobage is small :(

[–] fmtx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Ask your endo about adding progesterone.

[–] Valorie12@lemmy.world 1 points 57 minutes ago

I've been on progesterone for almost a year :)

[–] Lumelore@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Oh sorry I assumed wrong. In that case progesterone could help, as someone else has already mentioned. I'm on prog and I think it's helped somewhat. It makes me eepy though so I primarily use it as a sleeping pill now lol

[–] Valorie12@lemmy.world 1 points 56 minutes ago* (last edited 54 minutes ago)

I've been on progesterone for almost a year, I should have mentioned. It didn't help at all with the size but maybe a bit the shape. Anyways I switched to cycling it since it's a PITA to take (literally) and it doesn't benefit me much.

FWIW it's probably genetic because nobody in my family has big knockers and mine are probably a B cup at best. I just wish for bigger ones 😮‍💨

im jus gonna... hide dis post, it meks me sad ;(
