Guidelines:

Rules:
::: spoiler 1. NO POLITICS
___
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
___
:::
::: spoiler 2. Be civil.
___
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
___
:::
::: spoiler 3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
___
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
___
:::
::: spoiler 4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
___
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
___
:::
::: spoiler 5. No trolling.
___
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
___
:::
::: spoiler 6. Defend your opinion
___
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide _some_ details as to why you hold the position you do.
