Whelp, it is probably time for me to test out the rest of the buttons on here.
In an effort to temper expectations accordingly, please have a low-res quality picture stolen from who even knows where.

Flower and sky background with the words "In an age of performative cruelty, kindness is punk as fuck. Be punk as fuck" in the center.

A little bit of nihilism can make it easier to get through the day sometimes.

I swear, it's entirely possible my forum/chat moderation experience is the age of one of their interns/junior programmers.

Today's word is "performative" and tomorrow's will be "tool."

I may or may not have some ideas how this can be achieved.

Step 1: create a wholly unrelated post on a tiny acct and pin it, remove any trace of keywords that will flag to fly under the radar

Step 2: gather the shitposting army there

Step 3: 48hrs and let the games begin

If they are not aware of why the wording of this raises eyebrows, so much of what has been going on here lately makes a lot more sense. And here I was concerned about how well @imgcat.io would do explaining moderation standards, thank you for setting the bar low enough to trip over.

This approach keeps our system scalable and fair as we grow. Every decision must be explainable, repeatable, and based on evidence our tools can reliably evaluate. We’re also working to make our decisions clearer and more transparent. 8/9

I love that about people. I love seeing it on Wikipedia when someone fixes a mistake in something I wrote or does a technical thing I only half understand. The diversity of skills and personalities makes us better.

Ever been so disillusioned by how a site treats its users that you share a post about a project you started, and a month later it has become a grassroots effort to reshape what it means to be a social media platform?

The people behind the usernames are saying enough is enough. We want a place where your voice matters, on a platform that believes above all else community is what social media is about. If this resonates with you, join us on discord to start building a new way forward. discord.gg/dFHkDuVK

Sure would be a shame if the userbase instead used bsky to coordinate migration to new sites outside the AT protocol considering bans are getting handed out with reckless abandon to anyone who dissents

@bubbajimbo.bsky.social how would you describe Discuit.org within the character limit here? Cozy coffee shop populated by actual humans behind the usernames, and enjoyers of both nonsense memes and long form discussions where nuance hasn't completely given up the ghost?

They are still out there and new ones popping up often- just have to know which little corners of the internet to look to find em, and be prepared to dig through so much slop on the way
