Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

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.

berries and fruit are often part of sauces for game meat and honey is used in various pork roast recepies or for glazed vegetables, no need to go back to "ancient times". hell i have a recipie for "Currywurst"(its a german thing, has basically nothing in common with curries) asking for apple sauce and made a plum sauce to go with duck for christmas once and i belive us americans stuff turkeys with various things that can also include jams.
source: a german who likes to cook and mostly learned it from his grandmother, somestuff might be old fashioned, but definitely not ancient.
I mean, when you think about it, the combination of meat plus berries/fruit and leafy greens or vegetable is the diet our ancestors survived on, also nuts were an important food source.
Hunting meat and gathering fruit/berries, nuts, and veggies; it's what all recipes evolved from.
Not nitpicking just super curious: I quite like the currywurst I can get locally and it's served as a bratwurst with an (english) curry sauce on top - is that not what a currywurst is in Germany?
I don't know how an english curry sauce is done but in germany the sauce is
the ingredients for the one with apple sauce are something like this.
you sauté the diced onion, add the juice and honey followed by the rest of the ingredients and cook for a long while on low to medium heat.
but recepies vary widely.
what kind of sausage is used also varies depending on which part of the country you are in.
I am from the Ruhrarea and here grilled sausages are the norm, i think in Berlin its more common to use a hot dog style sausage and in regions known for a special kind of sausage you can probably order a currywurst with the regional speciality.
I never said there was such need. But that it was done since those times and still now.
