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.

Vampires will do whatever your crazy plot requires them to.

I drink neither. I've become vegetarian in these last few years. I don't really need blood, but it helps. but i don't really need it these days.

They keep a little vial of powdered garlic to scare them awake, smelling salts for the immortal.

No it would have to be a grenade with silver pellets, silver has to penetrate the heart like a stake does, i'm not a nerd i just want to be lore accurate.. and grenades are fun anyways... 🚨🎊

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

You mean silver electrolytic capacitors?

Does it still count as coffee if you replace the brewing water with human blood?

Either way, that's my answer.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

I kind of think that'd be interesting. As long as it's a blood type that agrees with them. Imagine brewing coffee with Rh-negative blood.

Caffeine is degenerate and a sign of gehenna. Fledglings these nights smh my head

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

Are there anythings that are not signs of Gehenna?

Their night would be their "day," while their time to sleep would be their "night." Call it living an inverse.

I actually read a manhwa once where coffee was the only human food/beverage vampires could enjoy

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is this not Tokyo ghoul? Though…. Not exactly vampires….

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Huh, idk how I didn't make the connection. I forget the name of it but definitely not tokyo ghoul

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

Interesting, I wonder if that’s a trope, various cryptids that can’t consume ‘human fools’ but can drink coffee?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I thought vampires don't start during the day.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

Their "day," which would begin after sundown.

smh, some of these people have clearly never worked second or third shift /s

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They can't consume human food. So caffeinated blood. Source: What we do in the shadows
