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.
If you mean currently, she's a big twitch streamer and she was attacked by a fan at twitch con over the weekend. Her own personal security had to step in because twitch con apparently doesn't care. This image is from her stream addressing what happened and twitch's lack of action.
Is that Emiru? IIRC she's in Asmongold's orbit, or was. So I imagine Hasan doesn't fuck with her.
Yea, that's Emiru. Definitely not in the same sphere as Hasan. As far as I've ever seen, she doesn't fuck with political stuff at all. Just video games and cosplay. I don't follow her, just seen clips and stuff. I could be proven wrong by someone, but I'd be surprised if she had any affiliation with Hasan.
This might be the first comment section on Lemmy where I have no fucking idea what the people are talking about.
Stand proud my friend, I can say confidently that you're better off being ignorant of these matters.
I did a short self guided tour watching the descent of asmongold into madness and yeah she was in a few videos. notably the house tours where he shows off how fucked up his living situation was/is.
kind of a shame what became of him. he's got a few genuinely good messages in a video or two that I saw (materialism bad, go outside, etc).
I agree he had some good messages, but I remember watching a video of him reacting to something and he said something really transphobic. Big yikes from me
oh absolutely he's a pos now, and seems to have been for a few years
I never really watched him, was just aware that he existed, then didn't really think about him for a few years until he popped up on my feed saying some weird shit. then I had to dive deeper lol
Ootl What the fuck is going on
Picture is streamer Emiru giving her reaction to Twitch's handing out a 30 day ban for SA - https://arazu.io/t3_1o9ligi/
Shock collar is in reference to Hasan Piker shocking his dog because she moved during the live stream - https://arazu.io/t3_1o0sjun
Bonus: Veterinarian reacts to shock collar - https://arazu.io/t3_1ob806p
For some slightly more in-depth context: Emiru is a popular streamer on Twitch. She has a personal bodyguard who normally accompanies her to events like TwitchCon. Twitch banned her security guard this time, because of a prior incident where he grabbed a dude and detained him until police arrived. Twitch said they would provide their own security team to protect her instead.
During the event, a creep strolled up on stage (walking directly past multiple levels of Twitch’s security) and forcibly kissed her. The creep was interviewed by security (who discovered he had a knife) and then allowed to leave instead of being arrested. Several of the security guards were even overheard by other streamers backstage, laughing about it. In response, Twitch banned the creep for 30 days. Notably, Twitch has a long and sordid history of blatant misogyny, so this is just another notch in their belt. The image is from Emiru’s response video, right after she found out how he got away with only a temporary ban.
Imagine being on OKCupid, them finding out you're using their platform for raping women and then going "we are gonna ban you 30 days on our platform.". LOL
Worth noting that the veterinarian here is massively cutting clips down and out of context, the clips alone that he references as evidence do not actually evidence the totality of the claims he makes before he shows the clips.
That is what you call priming.
Its not actually proof, but, if you are emotionally charged, or otherwise predisposed to dislike someone or something, you're likely to overlook that.
Fox News in particular is famous/infamous for using this kind of technique, for decades.
Lets break this down, media literacy style:
First, we get vet being... righteously dismissive in expression... before anything has happened in the accompanying clip.
He starts shaking his head, then dog yelps.
He even starts shaking his head... before Hasan supposed goes for the control.
Which he then just labels as that being what is happening.
(this is textbook priming)
Vet says Hasan said dog wasn't wearing... a collar, the collar?
Not evidenced at all, but just claimed.
(What Hasan has actually said this whole time is that she was wearing a collar, one that only vibrates)
(It is extremely common to have multiple kinds of collars for a dog, an indoor one, an outdoor one for a regular leash, maybe another one for a different kind of leash)
(This is why Hasans words are 'that collar', not 'a collar')
Onto the next clip, of Hasan showing the collar, which we have been told he lied about.
Hasan: It has the capacity to vibrate [very obvious jump cut] and that's it.
Oh ok, sure, yeah. I wonder the full clip has Hasan saying. We don't know.
Ok, now, lets look at this... car key? Key fob? Vibrator remote control? Wireless device puck?
Who knows, its a vaguely black blob with some features.
Ok, now, jump cut to... totally unknown time, could be hours or days away from the incident, we don't know, but Hasan moved his hand and arm near the same area... so clearly he is hiding something, I guess?
Ok... now here's... some guy with vibrate/shock collar. Do we bother to establish in any way that this actually is the same model of collar Hasan has?
Nope!
We just say that, ok, moving on:
Hasan has apparently told people why he uses a shock collar!
So, here's a clip of him describing... some kind of frustration with dog... Hasan never says anything about a shock collar though.
And then Vet goes on to decide that what Hasan said there was... not what he actually said.
Now Vet goes on a patronizing ramble, concluding that this is animal abuse because dog is being prevented from moving around.
You may note that he doesn't even say that use of a shock collar at all, is itself animal abuse.
No, for him its uh... the way in which it was supposedly used.
So presumably he would be ok with using a shock collar in the right way?
Also he now refers back to the original incident where dog was apparently stopped from leaving the bed by the 'shock collar'.
Go rewind the clip and you can see that dog gets up, begins to move, Hasan turns around, frustratedly tells dog 'Kaya, Please, Stop!' and... dog begins to move back onto the bed... before 'shock' apparently happens.
So Vet's whole theory here is that the 'shock' is what prevented Kaya from leaving the bed.
But she was returning to it, before the 'shock' happened.
She was just listening to Hasan.
... Yep, I'm going with Kaya ... yeah, she probably did need to move around a bit, Hasan got a bit overly terse with her, she goes back toward the bed, and accidentally snags her dewclaw of her front right leg/footpad on the side of the platform, and yelps and recoils from that a bit.
The yelp is perfectly timed with when her dewclaw was passing the edge of the bed/platform.
Hardly animal abuse.
Literally not even close.
If that is animal abuse, then...
...telling a toddler 'No, put that down!' when you... thought you saw them grab some scissors, but actually your eyes were blurry, and it was just some glossy folded paper... then that is child abuse.
Its not, by the way.
You should probably explain your mistake to the toddler afterward, comfort them a bit... but as a one-off thing, no that is not child abuse.
Child or animal abuse would be literally locking them in a cage, when you are away at work, something significantly more extreme, and also often repeated.
Even if I ended up being completely wrong, this video from the Vet is extremely manipulative and dishonest in the way it presents its case.
And for what its worth, no, I am not some Hasan stan, you can go back and look at my comments around the last time I was paying attention to him, getting pissed at just how brazen and needlessly inflammatory it was to interview an actual member of the Houthis / Ansar Allah.
Holy paragraphs batman, I think you might be a little to close to this for me to trust your opinion!
quietly shelfs the HüsneAbla x Asmongold Transfem yuri idea

reading this at first i was thinking of things other then hasan
Same. As a two-time purchaser of the thing I'm thinking about
I can't believe that that are people who actually believe Hasan used a shock collar on Kaya. To come to this conclusion you have to believe one of two things:
- Either Hasan has managed to hide his abuse of Kaya from all his closest friends and that he's dumb enough to use it while live, or
- Every one of Hasan's friends are ok with animal abuse and just ignores it.
I don't really care about Hasan, I do however care about the people who associate with him such as Maya, QT, Austin Show, and Will Neff, and the assumption that any of them would excuse or permit harm to Kaya is absolutely slander in their parts.
I find this entire drama to be frustrating and sad. Hasan didn't shock his dog, the only thing he has done wrong is not gone to check on her after she yelped.
Yep, the shock collar thing is a mass hysteria / psychosis event.
The dog caught its dewclaw on the way of stepping up to its bed platform thing.
Just so happened to coincide with Hasan waving his arm around.

D being the dewclaw.
Very common for older dogs to do this on accident and yelp sharply in pain, its roughly like massively stubbing your unshoed toe as a human.
By the way, its also a sign of a good dog owner that Kaya has a specific place to be in Hasan's streaming room... its her zone, her territory, but also within a space that allows her to be physically close to Hasan.
Thats an uncommonly nice thing for a dog owner to do, to know that well socialized dogs get lonely and bored, and they are more at ease, less stressed, when they can just be with their 'pack', their family.
I barely ever watch Hasan, and... well, I've lived with 3 different dogs from ages approx 1 to age approx 8 to 10... we would adopt strays or unwanted dogs from the local dog pound or owners who didnt want them anymore, so they'd often been abused or hit by a car or something like that, and we gave them a home... staggered out the adoptions a bit, after first dog was a few years older, introduce younger second dog, manage the introduction phase, train them too, now they have a dog friend, older one eventually dies, wait 6 months to a year, get another unwanted one.
I don't have to see much footage of Kaya to know that anyone who is certain Kaya is some kind of chronically abused dog is an actual idiot who has suddenly become a dog expert.
That dog is getting older, but is obviously not afraid of Hasan, nor anyone, is very well mannered and friendly, easy around people.
That is not how an abused dog acts.
They act like they have PTSD, because they do, and it takes usually at least a year to get them to realize they can really trust you and start to relax a bit... abused dogs are very much more quick to both fear and anger, much more likely to bristle at amd bark or even attack people they both do and don't know.
Kaya is basically a lazy comfortable kind of goofy oaf that doesn't seem like she's ever had any real reason to fear anything.
One of our dogs... she maybe actually, fully barked 3 times in her life, ever.
Nothing was wrong with her throat or mouth or jaw.
She had been beaten everytime she barked for the first year of her life, and then crammed into a small, dark, cold cage in a garage, by her previous owners.
She would basically do something like a kind of quivering, uncertain grumble, ... and it took her 3 years with us before she wasn't also literally physically quaking in fear while doing so, took her that long to realize that... we weren't going to hit her for making noise.
Only barked maybe 3 times ever, in her whole life and... they were all basically like a guys voice cracking while going through puberty, because she had literally no idea how to bark.
That is what an abused dog is like.
Thank you, well said. This is better than anything I could write.
I didn't even know who this guy was but I skimmed over the info available and he absolutely either shocked the dog there on camera or trained the dog to associate pain with vibration by shocking alongside the vibration.
He has old footage calling the a shock collar highly effective. The model he showed after the incident was modified and further investigation shows it does have a shock function.
I will now resume not knowing who this bozo is and I recommend everyone do the same.
Can you provide the actual links, actual evidence, of any of that, in its full original context?
Certainly we could not expect anyone on youtube or twitch to ever clip or edit something into seeming far more nefarious than it actually is, heavens no.
The clip of him saying it was effective was cut before he even finished his sentence where he says, "...but I just can't do it."
How did somebody get a department store mannequin to look so angry?
It matched with the color of my eyes
