1. All mutual aid requests must go in this community.

1. Sending censored donation receipts to the moderator team is based.
1. Moderator Pinning Rules:
a. Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.

b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) along with other crowd or moderator compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example) so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.

c. Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision as to whether or not they should donate.

Trans people have been demonized in Iraq for years by the Islamic regime. Being Trans runs the danger of being hanged or stoned to death because of the enmity towards trans people in Iraq. I realized I was trans since I was 4, I remember wanting to buy a dress and breaking into tears when my mother refused to purchase me the dress and then scolded me saying "you are a man and you shouldn't wear this". I then hid it for years until I got access to the internet in 2019 when I was able to express myself. I then started plans to move out of Iraq at that time and I started gathering funds but around a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer which destroyed my savings. On the 6th of February as I was asleep, my brother went through my phone and saw my trans account but I was able to delete it before he sent it to the family but now I am under heavy surveillance, they look through my phone any chance they get and they are talking to people about it and I'm afraid they might call the police when they get any evidence on it. So I need your help!

I'm not sure non-top level comments bump the post in the algo.

They do. This is why basically dead threads with one deeply nested argument still retain their front page position.

Interesting. Let's get this comrade the help she needs then, let me see how many silly struggle sessions I can recall.

I walk my cat and let him loose in the park for 15 minutes every day.

AOC is a finance imperialist but we must critically support her struggle against twitter multipolaritybros.

Vegans are cool.

Brace is not that funny.

Remember the really early days when we still had China/Uyghur struggle sessions? Those don't really happen anymore

Even the liberals gave up trying to push that garbage. It was so obviously a top-down op. Back in my day, they'd at least bother to build up a color revolution with a little bit of popular support behind it!

Well I think people either lurked silently and got educated on the subject (this was me), got convinced by their comrades here during the arguments, or got run off the site.

It really is tough for baby leftists to accept that basically all Western media lies constantly, I guess.

This seems like a reasonable and justifiable compromise. Though I think your cat would disagree
