      It would be easier to list the things she didn’t do.

      Long and short, screwed over a lot of minorities, oversaw a lot of violent conflicts, and reshaped the UK economy and government to benefit the financial sector and ultra wealthy at the expense of everyone else.

      It’s multifaceted, but I can mention one of the things she messed up: She made council houses a commodity[1], and now everyone is paying the price because nobody can afford to buy their own home because said council houses have been taken over by greedy landlords that keep the rent so high that nobody can afford to save up for a house of their own.
      What she did was the equivalent of pissing in your trousers to keep warm… Council houses used to be the affordable stepping stone before you saved enough money for your own place.

      She was a pretty hated British Prime Minister during the 1980s. When she died in 2013, people celebrated with the music “Ding dong, the witch is dead!” - Here’s one such video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hvccEpOFhc

      You get different answers depending on who you ask. Of course, those on the left despise her for good reasons, which others have already mentioned.

      Then on the one hand, there is argument to be made that her deregulation did save UK from bankruptcy at the time of financial turmoil catalysed by the 1970s oil crisis. The deregulation, of course, made her a darling among the right because it also made businesses more flexible.

      Another bit to note is that, whether you are left or right, it is undeniable she handled the Falklands War impressively. That is commendable regardless of one’s political leaning.

        I never heard “gay” as an insult until I moved when I was 12, then I heard it a lot from the kids in my new school, always thought it was fucked up, and didn’t like the kids who were saying it.

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

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.
