RULES (updated 1/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide that can be used for that, it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity.

MODERATORS
Depends on the city you’re looking to move to. To give you some perspective - I live in a city, but city sprawl in the US is insane that to go anywhere (grocery, restaurant, bar, etc.), it takes a 12-15 minute drive minimum just to get out of my neighborhood and get to the nearest place of activity. Sure, that’s just half of your drive to the next town, but I literally live in the city and what is considered a great location relative to the downtown area.
Now obviously city life is way different in Europe where you’ll likely have great public transportation and places are closer to each other. If you’re willing to accept the trade off of less space, more noise, and more expensive, for convenience, meeting new people, and better accessibility to places, I’d say go for it.
