You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

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.

suprised they didn't just take off the L and the G as well. Or maybe label it "sexually confused straight people". I hate being called confused while these same arseholes can just call me a f*g
And the I too...
My friend is a lawyer and they've had their passport essentially confiscated by the government, instead of it being renewed. (They changed their gender) I am not optimistic, for the outcome, but it's oddly satisfying seeing a licensed attorney pissed off and going to bat. I hope they kick ass.
Your friend is my new hero and if there is any way we can help them let us know!
When I see shit like this, I always wonder what it looks like in the commit logs, work items, and timesheets.
git commit -m “man idk just fucking kill me”
Literally TQIA+ erasure.
Damn USA about to include itself on its own travel advisory list
And soon sane countries will have the USA on their list of places LGBTQ people should avoid, and shortly after everyone is advised against visiting.
Already planning on contacting my member of parliament next week and asking why Smartraveller hasn't updated it's page on the USA re: LGBTQIA+ discrimination yet. I don't feel that it is safe for me to travel there with my X gender marker on my passport.
I don't understand the train of thought. Do they need to compartmentalise their hate because they don't trust the capacity of focus of their audience? Are trans and queer people so bad, they make gay people good in maga's eyes? Are the social advances for gay people too settled for them to think it's worth the effort to try and revert them? Do they want gay people to Stockholm syndrome ourselves in relief for not being a target for the moment? Am I assuming too much thought on their part and they just want to break stuff?
USA politics are tiring as fuck and the fact that we can't ignore them because they are going to affect the rest of the world to some extent is infuriating.
Divide and conquer, some lgb folk are at the same time transphobic
Plus, this sets both a clearer and more direct target
The Nazi's went after the communists first rather than the SPD, same here
They hate all of them, but they're trying a divide and conquer approach. If they go for all the letters at once, they'll get too much pushback, but they find that TQ+ don't enjoy the amount of support the others have. Once they're 'done', they'll move on the others.
Are the social advances for gay people too settled for them to think it's worth the effort to try and revert them?
It's this one. Public opinion is accepting of the "LGB" portion by an overwhelming margin. I know a lot of queer folks whose conservative families are perfectly accepting of them these days, way different than it was 20 years ago. People who are intersex can get fucked though, apparently.
Are trans and queer people so bad, they make gay people good in maga’s eyes?
The chief of Germany's far right extremist party, the AfD (which is pretty extreme even by european far right standards), is a lesbian woman from Switzerland, and her girlfriend/wife seems to be some sort of "leftist" activist from Sri Lanka. There are definitely societal advances being made even among the extreme right, though it's quite possible that that gets reverted as well once migrants, trans people and dissidents are 'taken care of'.
Alice doesn't sees herself as queer though, only lesbian. So she believes herself to be better and still hates the queer community. No advances here.
Do you really think a far right party would have accepted a lesbian (let alone a woman) in the 1930s? The 1970s, even? If not, that's still an advancement.
I just skimmed the NSDAP Parteimitgliedsnummern on wikipedia. And there were woman as well in the Party, but I didn't scan for any queer nazis.
So yeah okay, I'll give you that that there is a token advancement.
There were women, but they certainly didn't get anywhere near being national head of the party. And there was actually a relatively well-known and hierarchically high-up homosexual man in the NSDAP (Ernst Röhm), but Hitler had him murdered in 1934.
oh damn, I didn't know that.
Didn’t know this. The attitude makes my head hurt.
This is not ok but it's also really dumb I hate it
Man this is just getting petty now
WTF do expensive model trains have to do with it‽
About 71.
