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.

Femboys are a very good example of how the world is a lot better than the world we live in today, and the world is a lot better than it was before the internet existed, and the internet was a lot better than it was before the internet was invented.

From a FUTO Keyboard that's still in early training, FWIW.

Omg I had the same at first (using Futo too)

Just looked up FUTO keyboard and I might consider trying it out. What was your motivation to install it, what features stand out and how has your experience been?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

It was mostly for privacy; I discovered it from Primeagen reacting to Louis Rossmann's video introducing the keyboard. I agreed with the talking points so I figured, eh, what the hell, ever since SwiftKey got bought out, I've been looking for an excuse to switch.

As for my experience, tl;dr: It's a decent keyboard that does the job just fine, but it's too early for it to have the bells and whistles that established keyboards have.

Now for the details:

Disclaimer: I don't use voice to text, which is probably one of the main features of this keyboard. Now for the rest.

I'll be incredibly honest. Feature wise, it is obviously not as refined as SwiftKey, but the things it lacks are arguably quite minor:

  • The keyboard layouts are fine, but I wish I could display the special characters directly on the keys. Instead, if I want to type an underscore, for example, I have to hold each letter to figure out which one has it (it's H). I could just use the symbols keyboard of course, but the point is that with SwiftKey, I didn't need to.
  • Emoji prediction is virtually inexistent. On SwiftKey, if I wanted to type 👍, I could just start with "thu" and it would suggest the emoji automatically. Actually, after enough training, it started suggesting it with just "t". Worked with aliases too. On FUTO, I have to remember the exact name of the emoji and type it all in one word before it suggests it to me.
  • You Have To Think About Capitalization Ahead Of Time. If you forgot to hit the shift key before typing a word, then you'll have to rewrite the word. You can't just hit Shift after the fact.
  • I use several languages. SwiftKey takes it like a champ, even allowing me to group languages on a single layout. That way, I can type in one language in a sentence, then switch to another language in the next one, without having to do anything. Swiftkey just infers the language from the first few words and then adapts as you go. ~~FUTO does support other languages than English, but only for autocompletion; there is no word prediction. Also, you have to manually switch between languages.~~ As it turns out, they have now released a multilangual model so I'll be trying this out. Looks like anyone can make their own models too.

Like I said, those are very minor gripes, and I imagine most users do not care about these details.

As for features that stand out, it doesn't have much that makes it stand out, but I've noticed at least three things:

  • The haptic feedback is nice! Just the right amount IMO.
  • FUTO was VERY quick to learn my typing pattern. Yes I almost always miss the E key and hit R instead. FUTO don't care. FUTO understands I just type bad. Other keyboards do that too, of course, but none has adapted so well after just a few days.
  • It's fast! My phone is old and battered with degrading RAM, and sometimes SwiftKey would take 10 seconds to load the predictions. That's never been an issue with FUTO.
