Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

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.

The local reenactors' reading out the Grievances this year certainly hits a bit different.
just you wait, they're gonna make the reenactments illegal for being "un-american" or sth
Thank you comrade <3
The US government causes so much suffering across the world. The ability of the world to still distinguish between estadounidense and our institutions is cherished.
Thank you! #solidarityforever
As you can see, the hundredth monkey effect seems more like spitting in one hand and wishing in the other.
We need to grow our numbers! The only way we can do that is with continued non-violent organized protest. Violence will only reduce our numbers and suppress our resistance.
Erica Chenoweth has a very well researched presentation on the success of non-violent resistance overthrowing dictatorships with only 3.5% of the population. I highly recommend it.
Come out today for the Free America protest! We also have the Good Trouble Lives On protest on July 17th.
Sign up for notifications from 50501 to stay informed.
Also remember that economics is a hella important consideration. Most conflicts are decided by who can stay solvent longer.
The only way we can do that is with continued non-violent organized protest. Violence will only reduce our numbers and suppress our resistance.
I emphatically reject these claims. Both nonviolent and violent resistance is necessary, and in fact they need to collaborate. The following quote from the Black Catalyst Revolt Guide is relevant:
If we are to learn from the successful movements of the past, we can see that all successful pressure has been the collusion of the peaceful and non-peaceful aspects of the movement, such that the peaceful party can lobby the state to concede, saying to them “now see? Wouldn’t you rather deal with me than them? Sit down and make some concessions to those suffering people.” Meanwhile, the non-peaceful protesters escalate the aggression of their actions such as to put a clock on the state. Direct action should therefore not be seen as a chaotic byproduct to be avoided. It should instead be seen as a necessity as to extract outcomes for the movement. Ultimately, if the demands of the protests are not met, revolution should be the threat. In this way, we are to transform the government to our whims, not vise versa.

such a disgusting rhetoric to peddle non-violence while promoting 50501, a white supremacist organization that hires veterans in "peacekeeping" roles to shoot antifascists and anyone who's not white.
playing peace police is inherently a violent act because taking a stand against all the oppressed people who respond back in the only language that the state understands reinforces white supremacist systems.
instead of supporting libs that cooperate with state repression and enable fascism, donate to Gamboa's legal fund, join anti-authoritarian grassroots orgs and support your local antifascists.

America is too violent. Any turn that involves racial justice or queer rights will be resisted with staggering violence. Anything that liberates children. Anything that sevures womens' rights or reduces the power if the church.
Hell, anything that tries to cut police funding or end slavery would be stepped on so hard. It will not be nonviolent, though many non violent things are also necessary to get a good outcome. I wish the choice of whether things get violent or not were ours, but it simply isn't.
Getting slaughtered serenely is not peaceful or nonviolent. Its masochistic.
Organisation overthrows regimes, not protests. Ends are an entirely different issue

I'm not very hopeful, maybe they will watch a tv show or play a videogame about revolting.
Okay but i was finishing watching 'andor' last week and fell behind on chores like keeping my window seals good (the tape flexes and sometimes unsticks with the summer heat) and the tear gas started leaking in and it was so annoying.
So, you know, it's almost as good.
The revolution in question: endless amount of protests that are supported by "progressive bilionaires" like il Duce intended
Kinda wish they didn't have an actual revolution yet, cause at this point all it'd cause is a fuckton of deaths just to put a group like democrats back in power, then for reactionaries to go back into power democratically a couple years later. People there are genuinely blind to their predicament still, thinking the problem is just Trump.
The democrats are part of the system today and people have yet to fully realize that. We need a grounds-up new approach to politics. That takes time to organically grow.
I know in a few cities in CA tgat i have any vibe check on, the dems, especially after trying so hard to ratfuck zohran the destroyer, do not have much good will
Gotta any specific billionaires you think are paying protestors?
A prominent recent example is Christy Walton paying to promote the No Kings protest.
Though I do think I worded my comment a bit poorly I admit, meant it more in a collaborating with billionaires type of deal as opposed to right-wing conspiracies where protestors are paid by foreigners or some shit
