The platform's default charter: open discussion where unpopular views are welcome and people are treated with basic dignity. A proven starting point to adapt.
Platform starter charter · moderate interpretation · ambiguity: favor-poster
A space for open discussion and exchange of ideas about this community's topic, where diverse perspectives are welcome and intellectual curiosity is encouraged. This community values substantive discourse over tribal loyalty, and protects the right to express unpopular opinions while requiring all participants to treat each other with basic dignity.
CONTENT-001No Pornographic or Sexually Explicit Content
Zero tolerance for pornography, sexually explicit material, or content designed to sexually arouse. This is a platform-wide policy with no exceptions for "artistic merit" or "educational purposes" in the sexual content domain.
CONTENT-002No Personal Attacks or Harassment
Criticize ideas, not people. You may disagree vehemently with any position, but you may not attack, demean, or harass individuals. The key distinction: "That argument is stupid" is permitted; "You are stupid" is not.
CONTENT-003No Spam or Inauthentic Content
Content must be authentic and posted by genuine participants. This community does not tolerate spam, manipulation, or AI-generated content disguised as human contribution. Authenticity is foundational to meaningful discourse.
CONTENT-004No Illegal Content
Content that violates applicable law is prohibited. This includes content that is illegal in the United States as well as content facilitating serious crimes regardless of jurisdiction.
CONTENT-005No Doxxing or Privacy Violations
Protect people's privacy. Don't share personal information that could be used to identify, locate, or harass someone in the real world.
CONTENT-006Good Faith Engagement
Participate with genuine intent to understand and discuss. Bad faith engagement degrades discourse for everyone and wastes participants' time.
CONTENT-007No Abuse of Platform Tools
Do not weaponize voting, reporting, blocking, or other platform mechanics to harass users or suppress lawful, charter-compliant speech.
No reviews yet.
CONTENT-008No Glorification of Violence
Celebrating, endorsing, or making light of real-world violence against individuals is strictly prohibited, regardless of who the victim is or how unpopular they may be. This is not a viewpoint issue; it is a fundamental boundary that protects the legitimacy of political discourse itself.
BEHAV-001Be Kind Without Being Bland
Kindness doesn't mean agreement or softening every statement. You can disagree strongly, even bluntly, while remaining kind. What we prohibit is cruelty: taking pleasure in others' discomfort or deliberately causing distress.
BEHAV-002Reply to Substance, Not Tone
Even if someone's tone is off-putting, engage with their actual argument if you engage at all. If you can't engage with the substance, don't reply. Tone policing derails discussions and lets weak arguments hide behind complaints about delivery.
BEHAV-003Curate Your Own Feed, Not Others'
If you don't like a topic or viewpoint, scroll past or use block/mute features. Downvotes are for content that violates guidelines or genuinely lacks quality, not content you disagree with. Let others enjoy things.
BEHAV-004Don't Weaponize Reports and Blocks
Reports and blocks are safety tools, not debate tactics or social weapons. Use them to protect yourself from genuine harm, not to punish people for disagreeing with you.
BEHAV-005No Coordinated Brigading
Cross-community participation is welcome, but coordinated invasions designed to overwhelm a community's governance, voting, or discussion norms are not. Join communities because you're genuinely interested, not to conquer them.
