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 don't care what your mom says, you're getting a few more pixels!

But only a few.

Some folk call it "data hoarding."

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago

They mock us now, but they'll be at our doors, begging us to share our sweet, sweet memes after the internet falls.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What's your secret for recall though? I just have 30 years of garbage dumped and theoretically backed up

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Searching through data hordes is an actually great use of “AI”, though in this case basic OCR would suffice.

Alternatively, crop the top part off and Google image search it.

You're not my real dad, and now I can't have dessert for a month

Don't forget the part where they label him and antisemite for trying to feed those in need

Don't sweat the pixels .... there was bound to be some degradation after 2,000 years.

Can't even have pixels because of communism. Fucking leftists

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Only until Jesus posthumously becomes ultraconservative. Death has a way of convincing radicals of the wisdom of supporting the status quo (see also: how dying in a car crash convinced Princess Diana to shut up about land mines and AIDS and instead start telling the British people, through The Sun’s psychic, to vote for Brexit).

Aliens finally visit Earth. They come in peace and surprisingly, they speak English.

Obviously, all of the heads of government and religious leaders want to speak to the aliens so they set up a meeting with our new visitors. When it's the Pope's turn, he asks: "Do you know about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?"

"You mean JC?", responds one alien. "Yeah, we know him! He's the greatest, isn't he? He swings by every year to make sure that we are doing ok".

Surprised, the Pope follows up with: "He visits every year?! It's been over two millennia and we're still waiting for his SECOND coming!"

The aliens see that the Pope has become irate at this fact and start trying to rationalize. "Maybe he likes our chocolate better than yours?"

The Pope retorts "Chocolates? What are you talking about? What does that have to do with anything?"

And the alien says "Yea, when he first visited our planet we gave him a huge box of chocolates! Why? What did you guys do?"

Finally people realize that Jesus was brown and a communist 🙏

Well, theocrat with an emphasis on social welfare programs.

So basically Marx himself according to Fox.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 8 points 3 weeks ago

In the Middle East though so I doubt Fox would bother covering it at all

[–] Resistai@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Except it wouldn't say executed, that would suggest someone was responsible. It would just say "dies"

Too many pixels and not enough jpeg artifacts
