Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

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 have tankfully never heard anyone complain about a piece of software being coded by a furry transgendered person.
In fact, it seems like a stamp of quality :P
Movies, however...? Man, I remember when the Wachowski Sisters transitioned..
If you've heard people screeching about "RUST BÆD!!1!" then you probably have, since a lot of these chuds considered it the Woke Language (at least before it was co-opted by slopbros)
That passed me by. I heard people talk about rust, but not that it was bad, per se. Just different.
Of course, me not having heard of these peeps does not mean they don't exist. Just means I live under my own kind of comfy rock. (There's room for more if you bring snacks)
Thank you for the offer but existing under the sun as a child of God blessed with Their Divine Spark who also happens to be a transgender schizo furry hacker sounds way more fun
(I can still bring you snacks though)
I respect it!
Good for you, I know way too many right wingers, who have stupid objections to them.
Sorry to hear that :c
Same I didn't realize this was a thing. Even among the maga dumb fucks and hyper nationalistic loons. The stereotype of the gay trans LGBT furry being the one who's the good IT and software guy is still a thing.
It's like typically the only time I see them be positive about lgbtq anything or furry anything.
Yes iowa is a shitty place
The Wachowskis are frauds who accidentally made one good movie once.
Then at least attack the quality of the movie, not the gender of the directors.
At the risk of being mauled by groupthink here I'll just say that Revolutions had 10 hours of philosophy packed into a 2 hour box. The ending felt flat. I recently reached the whole series and I agree that the first movie aged well while the middle 2 were a letdown.
IMO if you want to make an arthouse movie don't try to taco it onto an action blockbuster.
Glad they are happy with their genders. Doesn't really belong in the criticism of their movies.
Speed Racer is one of those where you get out what you put in. It's not for everyone.
For what it's worth, I agree with you.
Matrix 1 was awesome, but the other ones weren't as good. I don't think Groupthink is gonna get you, because the general consensus here seems to be "movies? Take'em or leave'em".
Yes? That's what I'm doing.
And what movie are you addressing? Because you only said the Wachowski's are frauds. That's not a movie critique and you're hardly Roger Ebert.
The Matrix is good. Everything else they made is terrible, and yes that includes Speed Racer.
You have obviously not watched Sense8.
Says some dude
I think most will agree with some dude tbh. Funnily enough I haven't seen Speed Racer so can't comment on that, but much of the rest of what they've directed after the original Matrix movie has been disappointing.
The only memorable bits of 2 and 3 are the action scenes (highway chase and Neo clones vs Smith clones) and for Resurrections, not even that. Recasting both Morpheus and Smith made it even worse. Cloud Atlas... Idk, I'm sure someone liked it, I was close to falling asleep.
I will have to give Sense8 a shot one of these days, premise sounds interesting so maybe it'll redeem them in my eyes. Cautiously optimistic on that one, reviews seem to be good.
Literal blasphemy.
Ah, I think I see the confusion.
I had made a remark about how people were harsh with the Wachowskis because of their gender, and your next words were that they were frauds who make trash movies.
I took that as an explanation and justification for WHY people were being terrible, so my response was meant as a general response. Not saying you were criticising them for being trans.
Except Speed Racer was the greatest film ever made so they're just wrong on every level.
Are you referring to The Matrix or Bound?
