Community Rules

You must post before you leave

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

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

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”.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

### 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.

On your actions today, how do you plead?

The only acceptable plead is: “I have snacks”

Wild animals are not supposed to be that porcine.

Unless this is from a fix sanctuary, I find that behaviour worrisome.

And if it is from a sanctuary, what are they feeding the foxes?

rain_enjoyer@sopuli.xyz 21 days ago

Just the number of loose foxes makes me guess that this might be sanctuary in Japan called Zao fox village

Flukeyfox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 days ago

I assume this is a serious comment, but as for where or when this image was taken, I wouldn’t know as it’s just an image from the internet.

It could be a sanctuary, or it could be wild foxes (though with how close they got to the person taking the photo, maybe the former?)

As for what they’re eating, who knows but foxes very commonly get significantly thicker fur coats for the colder seasons. The foxes in the image seem to just have very thick fur

Sucks to have to link to Reddit on Lemmy, but ‘Fox Tale Sanctuary’ has a good example on one of their posts 2 years ago reddit.com/…/same_foxes_different_season_pt_2/

qyron@sopuli.xyz 21 days ago

You assume correctly!

We can see the foxes have their winter season coat on; they look very fluffy and bushy tailed. But also look at bit on the chonky side. Some a bit on the extra chonky.

A sanctuary wouldn’t over feed their charges. And wild foxes are usually wary of humans to have excess food come their way.

So, a nice image but so many questions left open.

More pictures, please.

Very well, the council of foxes and the bears have now communed, and have deemed you lacking snacks :p
