    “Am I a good e n t i t y ?”

    Genuinely tho, I call my non-biney partner a good bean in the same way one would call someone a good boy/girl. Because they is. They is best bean~

      I think “good bean” is my favourite non-joke option that’s been mentioned in this thread

    People will attribute masculine and feminine gender to ‘master’ and ‘mistress’ respectively, but I think master would be the ‘neutral’ pick here.

    Or you can shuck the dynamic with: owner, divine, ruler, royal, liege, or any number of ranks with which you attribute subservience! :3

      Yeah I have to second the “master” as a gender neutral. People always think of it as masculine, but there is no feminine alternative for most uses of master. You aren’t your dogs mistress, for example.

        You aren’t your dogs mistress

        I’ll grant that it sounds a bit archaic, but “mistress” is technically correct there.

        But yes, agreed that “master” can be used in a gender-neutral way.

      What do you think about steward?

        I think steward comes across slightly more like a ‘head servant’ type rather than a title of someone you (as a sub) are giving yourself to. You could maybe have fun with some roleplay elements in that, but for me SFF books have ruined the title as one which I would ‘worship’.

                I’m not really relevant to your interaction but I thought it was a little cute. Not tactful, but the spirit was there.

                If I wanted to write a similar message like yours, I’d probably have done it like this:

                Let’s say I were to call you a “bitch”. What would your purely hypothetical response be? 🥺

                That’s:

                • less direct
                • playful (“If I were to insult you” is a very fun way to tease AND pretend to be an innocent little angel)
                • probing the water to see if they’re interested

                At least in my opinion. I’m terrible at flirting though so you may want to evaluate this yourself.

      Or generic ‘critter’/‘creature’ — however, I can’t think of a good method of address for non-furry non-therians.

    Maybe an extension of Mx, Ms, Mr: Mixtress? (I suppose the “ess” is what makes it seem feminine)

    Or just “Mx. Name”, like how “Mr. Bond” can feel like a single term in the James Bond movies. (Mx. pronounced “mix” feels right here)

    Let’s see:

    • Mistress
    • Mister

    The end should be changed in stead. You can do the X thing: Mistrex (or Mistrix to keep the “e” part pronounced as “ih”).

    Or change it another way: Mistro, Mistrez?

      I like Mistrex/Mistrix, that seems… sensible to me.

      You could also do Miztrex/Miztrix, if you want to make it a bit more distinct.

    Dom terms I’ve used: Majesty, Highness, Excellence, Liege, Master, Owner. Sub terms I’ve used: Pet, Toy, Slave, Bitch, Dog, Puppy, Kitty, Precious, Doll.

    Some terms like Maid work but that depends on how feminine you see the term. Another interesting one is Knight for like a service sub.

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.

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

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.
