You know we value diverse opinions, discussion and debate at Exploding Heads. Unfortunately we live in a era when a tyrannical minority are trying to stamp out anything that does not align with their views.
Good conquers evil, although sometimes it takes some time and the good suffer some cuts and bruises along the way.
Our path to victory in life is to be the best people we can be.
With that in mind, I would like to remind you all of the rules for this instance:
Rules
- Be authentic.
- Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.
- No porn.
- No ads / spamming.
- No doxing
- No threats or personal insults
- No discrimination
- No gore or graphic video or pictures
- When posting on a federated instance/community, obey the rules of that instance/community.
You will notice I added the last one in today as a reminder to be good neighbors in the Fediverse.
The no discrimination part is interesting - it prohibits theoretically the use of slurs and attaking people for their race and such, but it also allows people to state things that they believe are truths and to have honest discussion.
Going forward, I think that is a really good policy that is anti-censorship but is also supportive of having free discussion.
