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.

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 honestly cannot tell if this is satire or real, my friends are weird enough to do this

It was confirmed to be a joke in the replies.

It's very delicately skirting that line

I'm in the same boat. This seems insane, but I know several friends and coworkers who would be all about this.

It's satire of course. But a well researched ticket.

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 66 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I think this is the way for satire. Exactly one obvious falsehood in a sea of stuff you can’t entirely discount.

Actually no. Salesforce too. You know what I mean. The ratio is delicate.

This took me a minute to parse but I have concluded that it is fucking hilarious

[–] passepartout@feddit.org 80 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I don't understand, do they have some kind of VPS with Jellyfin etc. via SSO / LDAP for their polyamorous group? And they even have a ticket system? How many people are they seeing? My chronically single ass is so confused rn.

[–] queerlilhayseed@piefed.blahaj.zone 46 points 5 days ago (2 children)

mono folx really underestimate the logistics that go into making poly relationships work.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Trying to play helldivers with 3 out of the 4 people in one has been such a nightmare of being invited in and asked to leave so #4 can join, I can only imagine it being worse being in it

Then again I'm probably not a good judge considering I don't think I could handle a mono relationship

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, calendaring is probably the hardest part. Managing the authentication and OU structure of a complicated polycule is simple in comparison

[–] TechLich@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Right‽ I really want an open source, private, simple, self hosted way to cleanly aggregate everyone's calendars when they're all using different google/microsoft/apple/work ones.

google calendar and outlook can both kinda do it and Android does it pretty well in calendar apps but otherwise there's a lot of manually messing around with icals and CalDav.

I'd love a simple, polycule-friendly docker container with a web interface where you can log in and it lets you add all your calendars (or create private ones) and share them with other partners. Throw in a cross-platform mobile app for good measure.

There's stuff like nextcloud but the integration with other calendars seems a bit iffy and it's got a lot of extra corporatey cloud stuff. It would be nice to have one that's simple and quick enough for non-techy people to use.

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Cal.com. It's also open source.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I keep telling myself I need an excuse to figure out how to make docker containers.....

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

And they even have a ticket system? How many people are they seeing?

I legit sent this to my poly group because I've got more than a few technicals friend in there that would giggle about that.

I almost tagged my old manager too, specifically because my throuple jokes about the number of people in their partner space. I can't talk too much because she and I share more than a few partners 😅

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Yeah, as a single person I just download torrents from a torrents tracker, watch them locally, and delete afterwards if there are enough seeders besides me. Feels kinda zen compared to all the mess other people are doing.

Having a dedicated VPS with LDAP and SSO for your relationship is funny enough, but the fact that they just add Zs and Es as more Zoes are added to the system instead of just zoe1, zoe1, zoe3, etc is hilarious.

[–] magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

Does everyone here not manage SSO across the VMS that handle their daily computing with something like FreeIPA? AM I NOT NORMAL?

Semi-/s

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I am pretty sure managing FreeIPA and being in a relationship are mutually exclusive.

[–] magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 days ago

Honestly for a while I thought so too lmao.

The worst thing about the polyamorous community are the ridiculous puns.

The best part is the group sex.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Why did you say the best part twice?

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My brain may be too polysaturated right now to understand that.

I did once get rejected by a polyamorous who deadass told me she was "polysaturated" at the moment though

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I feel that rejection mood tho. After a certain point, adding another partner just adds so much overhead that it's a pain to deal with (or you can't give everyone what they need).

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

I mean, absolutely.

I'm not complaining. Rejection happens, it's a part of life and I don't get bent out of shape over it.

The word polysaturated is ridiculous though.

[–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

the best is the group cuddle

I think the Greater Seattle Polycule is set up with all this stuff, and I wish I was joking.

I think that not only is this real, it’s not even intended to be a joke.

At least Portland’s transbian dating scheme has a few fissures in it that keep it from adopting a fucking enterprise model.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 31 points 6 days ago (5 children)

As someone who was part of the Greater Seattle Polycule, this is so close to reality I wouldn't be surprised either if some people are up to stuff like this. Planning dates often required the type of schedule organizing you can only accomplish with office experience. Hell I bought an employee room locker to put in my apartment to keep everyone's stuff organized. There's enough trans tech workers that sometimes you wind up with an enterprise tool in the mix. I've never personally seen it implemented to this level but yeah, whether to be ironic or a legitimate organizational need I would not be surprised.

We'd also share account access to media to the point where if there was a breakup with someone who had a high value account we'd organize who would take on a new account and if it needed group funded. I don't even know who owned some of the accounts I had access to and I suspect I have an account gleefully chugging away being paid for by someone and it might not even be under my email anymore.

[–] Monument 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Internally giggling/cringing at the idea of using Bookings to plan dates. Big symbolism when you give someone access to your ‘overnights’ service.

The Greater Seattle Policule sounds like an anarchist faction in a post-apoc game I'd love to play.

The worst part is the image compression.

I see these comments, does your client not have a hugh res button? I think you can toggle it to always fetch the high res but its to save bandwidth

Yeaaaah I was pretty sure "Pornhub for Enterprise" isn't real, but still had to look it up. Could have fooled me otherwise.

Especially because this ticks a lot of boxes for me. Well. Apart from the polycule.
