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.

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 had a dream this morning that I got a job working concessions at a movie theatre. Every time a customer came in to get a soda, an obnoxious alarm would go off. I reached a point I couldn't handle it, I told the manager "I'll finish out today, but Im sorry, the alarm those cups are making is too annoying." The manager said "I'll let you head out now, but that's your own alarm."
It was my morning alarm.
dont let the dream tax people catch you working while asleep. https://dresdencodak.com/2006/10/07/summer-dream-job/
If you declare today a loss and sleep for another 23 hours, then you're up one hour early!
I wish this was an option lol
If Jeff Goldblum told me to be late for work, I would 110% be late for work
can't refuse anything coming from Jeff Goldblum
That sly temptress!!
With that voice? I’d totally buy it too.
Wow, I didn't know Jeff Goldblum was a jerk.
When I was in my early 20s working retail, I had a dream where I was at work ringing up a customer at the register, and the register just wouldn't cooperate.
It kept ringing up the wrong price, wouldn't apply a discount, and worst of all was making an awful beeping sound that kept getting louder.
The customer was getting more and more upset with me, and I was starting to panic and smack at my register to get it to shut up. It worked a few times but it just kept happening..
And that's how my sleep-deprived brain tricked me into slapping the snooze on my 5am alarm 20 times, sleeping through practically my entire shift and nearly losing my job.
This sounds like the beginning of the Martin Short Dennis Quaid movie innerspace , did you see that recently before the dream
Makes sense. The more rested you are the better you can perform tasks so the quicker you could get ready.
Similarly, the higher up I am the less I worry about falling. If I fall from a height I would have plenty of time to figure something out. As I get closer to the ground the more nervous I get (stolen from British show Brass).
Many years ago, I had a dream in which I was arguing with someone about whether phones were capable of having seizures.
The previous night, I had taken off my wedding ring (nothing nefarious, I just don't like many things touching me in my sleep) and set it on top of my phone so I wouldn't lose it. When the phone alarm went off, the (metal) ring rattled like hell, but the phone case edge was enough to keep the ring on top.
I guess, in my sleep, I thought it sounded like a phone seizure.
Seems like the earlier I get up, the later I leave.
I'd sue the guy. That's just not acceptable.
Chaotician! Chaotician!
goldbrulem sounds like a claire obscur weapon
