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.

MODERATORS
When you don't want your audience to think about any real issues, you pick one or two focus on them so hard that anyone watching that is the single biggest problem in the world ever.
if they didn't do that, then they might have to actually report some news to fill out their broadcast day.
Also helps if the population is small and politically powerless so they can be exploited for political gain.

Still no idea who this guy is or why they are so obsessed with him.
He's a hard-left twitch streamer who does reactions on YouTube videos and current events. I find it boring as rain but he's one of the most popular streamers on twitch.
You find the rain boring?
It just been falling for years. Get some new material!
Yeah I'll admit that rain didn't deserve this gratuitous side swipe

he is the guy conservatives online will bring up whenever I try to tell them that tankies are a small minority and that most of the real left is actually just very reasonable democratic socialists
I am not a fan, really, but he does reach demographics that other leftist have trouble reaching, so I guess he belongs in the tent
He's a political commentary streamer on Twitch. He's generally on the left with some mixed positions on various things that you'd honestly just have to watch to get the sense of.
In the last few years he's gotten more directly involved in political organizing, highlighting certain progressive candidates around the US and even getting a lot of his viewers to donate or volunteer for their campaigns. It's hard to know the full impact of this, but it's one contribution among many to the movement needed to get the left elected.
Because of this more recent round of successes from progressive candidates, including ones Hasan helped with, establishment interests in the Republican and Democratic parties have been targeting him as a proxy for the movement as a whole. In particular pro-Israel groups have been prominent in attacking him since he's against genocide.
He says some dumb shit sometimes, wording things the wrong way, being hyperbolic, etc. That plus the many opportunities for out of context clipping make it easy for these bad faith actors to find things that make him look bad. While some of it is red scare stuff, there's also a lot of Islamophobia mixed in. They then try to tie this to the progressive candidates to hurt their chances.
I probably wouldn't agree with every position he has, but he's overall not a bad guy. The hysteria around him is basically just manufactured outrage for political gain and it's not even working that well for that.

Any kind of streamer I give some level of benefit of the doubt because you get anyone talking for 6-12 hours straight without any opportunity to edit out something in post, you're gonna get something questionable every once in a while, even if its purely just a joke that doesn't land or a mispeak, or of course sometimes its the mask slipping for a moment and the real colors showing. It takes a bit of digging sometimes to figure out which it is regarding a given flub, but Hasan is generally a pretty decent guy from what I've seen.

Hasan derangement syndrome. The entire media arm of the right wing got a serious case of that HDS. That underwear pic will do it to you.

I don't like the guy but I'd much prefer him taking up fox news talking time rather than trans people.

The Republicans love to angry masterbate to this guy
I am officially out of the loop. I remember his body pic at the CPAC, but what do conservatives have against Hasan Piker?
He's left wing, outspoken, much better at articulating complex issues than they are, and extremely popular with young people.
Any one of those things are enough for their vilification, but the combo of all of them has them ABSOLUTELY apoplectic 😄
He's also a first-generation Turkish-American and Muslim by upbringing, which works pretty well with their new fear mongering around the threat of muslims taking over the country
Gotcha. So it's the old, "But he is not named in the Epstein files" that got to them.
Viking Hippie got you but I wanted to add that Hasan rightly calls out Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

No idea who he is before this post, good example of a barbra streisand effect

Honestly some of the best allyship to take the brunt of this for trans people.
(Semi /s)
If the meat pic is taking some heat off the trans peeps, then I suppose the Prada Propagandist is doing some good!
