Basic Rules:
- be constructive: there is no need of another internet space full of competition, negativity, rage etc.;
- no bigotry, including racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia or xenophobia;
- be empathic: empathy is more rebellious than a middle finger;
- no porn and no gore: let’s keep this place easy to manage;
- no ads / spamming / flooding, we don’t want to buy/consume your commodified ideas;
- occasional self-promotion by active members is fine.
