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

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".

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.

How sad, poor nazis.
Its worth remembering that ICE continues to exist even when republicans are not in the white house.
You can and should oppose ICE all the time. Less deportations happen when people resist. Direct action is more effective than voting. The work doesn't stop when your pick is in the office.
This is a huge thing the Democratic Party needs to internalize unless they want to keep losing.
Support and work with local groups doing actual good on the ground outside of election season, maybe, like, I dunno, fund them a little with that massive fucking warchest? Be a much better use of the money than a deluge of YouTube ads.
Oh there are youtube ads? I wouldn't know. Never saw any.
Q.E.D
It's worth remembering that immigrants commit fewer crimes than citizens and are more economically productive.
Not only should we act against these ICE raids because they're inhuman fascist theatre, but because the make the country less safe and poorer.
Not to mention, with the Laken Riley act a mere accusation is enough. So if a cop decides to arrest you for no reason and you're undocumented, they'll deport you before you ever see a judge.
Also, because actual citizens also get picked up in "error"
Help your fellow workers, protect people from ICE, and always remember you can fight back against Capitalism and/or Fascism with this handy guide.
I still can't get over the fact there's a fucking quota...
DEI bad: all quota, no merit!
Deportation quota good: all quota, who cares!? Got arrested as an American citizen? Well you shouldn't have been brown now should you?
GOP: Going Overboard Projecting
Aggressive quotas for arrest are a notable element of the the NKVD during the Soviet purges under Stalin.
The goal of it was to create pressure on low levels to find reasons to arrest people. To cut corners and make up nonsense reasons. To create a sense of terror that scared the target population. Even those who had no good reason to be scared found them selves taking precautions and acting overly loyal.
There is a strong argument to be made that the goal was less to arrest dissenter but to increase the number of people being sent to labor camps to do free labor for the state.
eyes prison industrial complex and prison labor system of the US
This is good but eventually, ICE may start arresting US Citizens that are not Hispanic as a chilling effect.
This is very similar to the last time Trump was president. People worked against his policy, making it harder for ICE to do their job, wich is a good thing.
Last time it was prisons, talking down their tv's advertising who had recently been incarcerated. This simple action reduced ICE numbers considerably.
Anyone have any digital copies of the pamphlets mentioned in the article? It sounds like info that's nice to have in general.
These are the ones ive seen
Here's a link to the flyers as pdfs in different languages and they also include examples of what a court order looks like vs other immigration paperwork:

I'm wondering the same
