    This (the original tweet) shit is 100% Russian agitprop fwiw. They know precisely how to sow cynicism in western progressives and leftists which just so happens to interact with their interests and Donald Trump’s policies. It’s actually very obvious to anyone who doesn’t get high on their own farts

      Ah yes, progressives and leftists, notoriously concerned with government waste and undeserving foreigners, this original tweet definitely wouldn’t have any effect on the “I’m not racist but” moderates that the Biden and Harris campaigns chased after by getting tough on asylum seekers and talking about having the most lethal military in the world /s

      Incidentally, what do you suppose that watermelon in the reply name means?

        The watermelon was, at least at one point, a show of support for Palestinians’ struggles. Something about sharing colors with their flag.

        But as with all symbols, this may not be accurate to their meaning of it. I was basing it off the trans flag next to it (a not uncommon pairing).

    As an African citizen I completely agree with this. We don’t even need internet here. In fact, I’m posting this reply via carrier pigeons.

      IDK why microblogging platforms show which client apps were used to make posts, but it’s quite easy to spoof. It would be fun to take the IPoAC joke there.

    The real irony is that most of the aid money is spent paying charities that in turn pay for yuropeean or 'murican companies or organizations to do stuff the way they consider ideal. Coldfusion TV has a very good video on the topic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aExnZ-1eHY

    africans are simply so powerful that they telepathically communicate with each other and with satellites, this is of course also how the egyptians built the pyramids, they simply levitated the rocks with their minds.

    Sadly this ability was lost as people spent time outside the continent, until the modern day where even a single non-native african ancestor completely suppresses the supreme mental power.

    Great point from OOP there, now do Africa before and after European colonialism.

    “This continent/culture/country is so undeveloped and primitive,” says the person whose ancestors made said continent/culture/country like that by fucking them over, stealing pretty much everything they had, and destroying the systems they had had in place for decades or centuries.

        My friend was complaining about his phone (battery draining to zero in within 2-3 hours, even when idle). He went ahead and bought a replacement battery. when he opened the phone, that battery was as swollen as Kirby.

    Obviously Africa isnt that underdeveloped but genuenly America and Europe not engaging in neocolonialism and meddling in their political affairs would do far more than aid (which is usually a tool for political influence).

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.

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.
