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.

It's actually really simple. See... *unpacks a pile of books of advanced biology and genetics*

Although... *gets another pile of books about psychology and neurology*

And we have to consider... *drops another pile of books about sociology and anthropology*.

Pretty obvious, isn't it?

I figure it is like football team supporters.

Football isn't real either. It's a made up thing with made up rules and made up uniforms.

But it someone tells you they support a team, you go, "OK".

Even if they are wearing the shirt of one team and say they support the other, "OK".

Maybe they don't look like they support either team, stil,l "OK".

"Did you see that ludicrous display last night?"

"Oh, no, I only pay attention when my gender makes it to the playoffs."

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Sounds a bit gay…

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

me when my gender gets a broken arm and loses to the Washington Senators

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I'm still cis tho, but gender isn't real. It's all performance.

[–] FirstMajesticComet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You don't really need to. All that matters is to respect how a person identifies.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 9 points 3 days ago

That's the neat part: you don't

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

See my gender is "bottom," which means that anyone who has sex with me is a "top." ez.

[–] Unknown_0671@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

but what about those who dont have sex 😔

[–] callyral@pawb.social 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

my genders are he/they

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago

He/They because I'll never be Him.

[–] riwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

how does one differentiate between man and woman? owo

[–] gandalf_der_12te@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago

I have for some reason always felt that the meaning of the words "sex" and "gender" should be reversed.

Maybe that is because Freud has called "any form of societal behavior" is a form of sexuality, as far as i remember.

Sex is rooted in reality, but the boundaries are socially constructed.

Similarly, Pluto is no longer a planet because "planet" is a socially constructed category. It doesn't mean that it's not rooted in tangible, factual reality, just that we culturally decide what characteristics are required to fall into the categories we created.

biology is full of social constructs. reality is complex and messy, but to wrap their heads around it, humans put it into simple categories.

the destinction into male and female (and sometimes intersex) was creared backwards. first came the social destinctions and social importans on sex, then people searched for the reasons, to explain the destinctions.

through this they currently arrived at the definition of sex as biological organisms producing smaller or larger gametes. as if this were actually a super sensual to classify all organisms that produce larger gametes and all organisms that produce smaller gametes in the same categories respecrively. but fair enough.

but then anything that causes an organism to produce smaller or larger gamets is considered sex determening. and all caused or just correlated to this is also considered part of the sex, including social factors. so production of larger gametes in humans is cause by xx chromosomes, so all humans with those chromosomes are female, even if they dont produce gametes, and everything caused by the xx chromosomes like homrones and phenotypes produced by those is considered female and even certain attributes pushed majority on people categorized as such are considered part of it. but none of that is a must. people with xx chromosomes dont necessairily produce larger gametes, they dont necessairily have the hormones, they dont necessairily develop the phenotypes, they arent necessairily shaped by the same way by the same social system. and yet we categorise them as the same sex and categorize their attributes as wrong. this shit is social

What do you mean then, in regards with the original meme ? That OP should ask to see everyone's sex ?

Thats transphobic

[–] Unknown_0671@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

pretending that biology/science exists without the social constructs or biases is a fool's errand. sex is as much of a real thing as the concept of species, its a generalized idea of something that cant be easily divided or distinguished based on really anything. its made to fit the social construct we already had, science didnt sprung out in an unbiased form and has not grown out of it. the distinction is flawed and done sometimes for ease and sanity; but a lot of times because of bias

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sex and gender aren't the same thing though. They are different concepts. I mean I am a trans woman, I identify as and largely appear to be a woman, but my biology and how I was born is physically male. This doesn't make me any less of a woman though.
