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.

I'd MUCH Rather tax my Children to HOOTERS instead of a DRAG SHOW because HOOTERS is NOT SEXUAL AT ALL and Drag Shows are LITERALLY JUST RAPING CHILDREN! Which I'm COOL WITH NOW that Trump said Epstein is a Good Guy but NOT Drag Rapists!

Nice use of random word capitalization in the midst of your exquisitely insane rant. Have you ever considered being president of anything? Get a spray tan and the sky's the limit friend!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Ah, professional quality bait

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Call me crazy but, being lustfull (assuming the reason to go there is for increasing some fictional heterosexual stats) isnt like a fucking capital sin?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

Adultury doesn't just stop at the act of intercourse itself, even jesus said "rip your eyes out." In response to becoming visually appealed by harlots (derogaroty).

how tf do y'all keep up with this lore

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Right? This tweet feels like it should be straightforward to parse, but the only thing I've got is the whole "M&Ms are woke because they made the green one less sexy" kerfuffle from.a few years back.

Hooters being on the same team as the Bible has me scratching my head!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Nice memory on the stupid M&M thing! I can’t parse this whatsoever lol

[–] [email protected] 17 points 17 hours ago

Ah, yes, my Fortnite controller which I use to Fortnite with other Fortniters with my Fortnite console. Is this like a new version of when Boomers used to call anything even tangentally related to video games "a Nintendo"?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

My problems with hooters are predominantly with the working conditions. A cooperatively owned breastraunt may not necessarily be my thing, but as a leftist and as a feminist sure whatever

[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago

the people demand worker's cooperative femboy hooters

worst square dance instructions ever

[–] [email protected] 23 points 21 hours ago

Anyone who says they are a alpha male are really some loser cuck.

This is the boneless wings/gender pronouns to communism pipeline guy.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

this is how i learn he's NOT satire?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

there was a whole article interviewing him and trying to answer for sure and it felt inconclusive and my take is that it started as a bit but worked too well within his Manosphere grift circles and dude is a sociopath so he just went with it

[–] irelephant 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I'm as disappointed as you are.

Grab the good book son were going to wipe our ass' with it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

I have one, but am too scared to touch it fearing it will turn to dust due to how old it is

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

Do people just have Hooters? Didn't most of them go out of business?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

It is absolutely a thing. My pagan household has one somewhere in the book shelf because we used to be catholics. A friend was never Christian and still has one

I went to Hooters the other day, and it was full of dudebros with goatees and MAGA hats holding bibles and loudly going on about how Christian and un-woke they were. Some of them were even holding their bibles the right way up.

Sucks to be one of the waitresses that night, though, as your tips are going to be those fake dollar bills with a bible verse printed on them.

In 2005, as Deputy Mayor, Adams put forward a motion to ban pigeons from the Municipality of Ashfield due to fears of the bird flu, but failed to explain how this plan would be implemented.[9][12]

Every Christian knows that Jesus' miracle with the loaves and fishes was just a mistranslation, and it really read Wings and Fries in the original Aramaic. So Jesus would approve of going to Hooters.

Carry on.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 20 hours ago

I mean there's literally a story about Jesus dining with prostitutes. Dude was down to party.

HE'S AN ALPHA MALE. EVERYONE SEE THAT? ALPHA MALE.

Im not sure hate is the right word, just disappointment. Hooters does kind of suck. Go to a real restaurant or a real strip club. He's got us.

If you have to advertise that you're an alpha male, you're not an alpha male.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He means alpha as in alpha versions of software. Unstable, buggy and not fit for the general public.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

Or like an alpha particle, having low penetration power.

Wait, you mean this guy is real? I genuinely always thought it was a parody account…

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

See, that's what I thought too. But apparently he's a real guy, and Trump nominated him for ambassador to Malaysia. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/10/trump-ambassador-nick-adams-alpha-male-00447423?internal=true

They need to make an emoji where the face is cracking itself in the head with a baseball bat

I would use that to reply to your comment. Facepalm isn't going to work anymore

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago

Be hilarious if he really was running a satire account and now finds himself an ambassador to some place he can’t even pronounce.
