If you're asking the rest of the world to just never discuss the thing that's at the center of nearly all major world news, that is a hard ask.

I know it's not pleasant, I get if you don't like hearing about it, but there's really not any way of getting away from it.

Oh man, I love disassociating so much. I hate the real world. Why do I have to be constantly reminded of genocide, innocent people being sent to concentration camps, entire demographics losing their rights, or fascist white supremacists that would goon to the thought of my life being just a little harder?

Why is no one letting me disassociate in peace like I want. Don't they understand that I'm the real victim here?

Did you know that there are non-Americans on Lemmy? And that they maybe, just maybe, might want to focus on what is happening in their own countries?

I only really have a problem with it when it's in a post like this where there's no reference in text, so filters/blocks can't pick it up. 196 seems to have this issue most frequently due to the way people write titles here.

I like a bit of rage bait as much as the next person but if I can't get a break from it without going completely offline then I will go completely offline (just for a bit).
I don't disagree with these posts but without my own mental health I am useless to their cause.
Filtering & moderation is supposed to be lemmy's advantage.

When I was in high school learning about Nazi Germany, I wondered what it would be like to live in those times. To have neighbours disappearing, and nobody does anything about it. Now I know.

The number of so-called "good side" USians responding to you without a clue that they are also infected with the 'American exceptionalism' brainworms is ridiculous. It's as if these people genuinely believe that every English-speaking creature on the internet is USian despite it being the lingua franca. Meanwhile, I'd bet you any money they have no fluffing idea what is going on in my country in relation to the liberation of Indigenous Australians. All while I know all too much about what's happening to PoC and trans people in theirs. But they will swamp you and attack you for 'not caring' anyway. As if looking at memes online is going to make a meaningful difference at all to what is happening just past their own doorsteps.

I like politics because I'm a good person.

I like politics. I don't like being blasted with US politics, despite my* inability to do anything about them, especially when they circumvent my* extensive word blocklist. I guess that makes me a bad person ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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.
