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.

Probably shouldn’t be bringing a phone at all.

BUT if you are, best to keep it powered off and in something that thoroughly blocks RF, like a purpose built bag or wrapped completely in aluminum foil. Also, turn off finger print and face scan unlocking, you can be directed by law enforcement to preform physical actions such as looking at the screen or putting your finger on the reader, but they can not legally demand you to put in a passcode. Memorize any numbers you need to know before hand, if you get detained and need to make a call, they will not let you use your phone for it, they may allow you to get numbers out of it, but only by giving them the passcode and them retrieving the information from the phone for you, meaning that they now have full access to the contents of the device. Most importantly though SHUT THE FUCK UP

Even better, bring a prepaid phone, ideally one purchased with cash that you haven’t been using anywhere you normally spend time.

Much of this is overkill and yet also only will do so much, but it is fairly easy small steps to take that can save you and people around you a lot of heartache.

This is why you only post pics of your naked body :3

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The only pics of me I post are of my thicc thighs :3

[–] saddlebag@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Your submitted posts were less exciting than I was led to believe

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm sorry to disappoint! Those pics aren't on this platform, and probably not available to people who don't already have them.

[–] saddlebag@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I hope you had fun making and sharing them. I’m sure I could find loads of nudes of people not named Jessica if I was so inclined.

Eh this was solid advice 15 years ago, but today there is little chance that anything that happens during a protest, isnt already being recorded by cops, news crews, helis, drones. The difference is, they wont use their footage to prove crimes committed by the cops and military, but you can.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It says careful what you post, not ‘don’t record anything.’

If you take a picture while someone is throwing a molotov, could inverting the colour of their clothing THEN blurring it actually help? As they wouldn't be able to see clearly but they would be trying to look for other pictures of someone wearing the wrong colour jumper.

It might depend. If it's not the only piece of evidence being used, then even an edited photo could be used as a data point to confirm another unedited one.

Yes, but the implication is that the thing you post could be used against you or others no? What im saying is that anything you could post (in terms of pictures) has already been recorded by the people that would use it against you.
