- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

MODERATORS
Elementary school, voting for student rep. I threw my hat in the ring because why not (or so I thought). I was far from one of the popular kids, and this became even more apparent as the votes were counted. The other candidates had a lot of marks by their names, and I had none.
Then suddenly one mark is added to my name.
"You voted for yourself, didn't you?" Some asshole remarked. I pretended I didn't hear him, because it was true.
Then another mark was added behind my name.
I ended up dead last, only getting those two votes, one of which was mine... but that other vote absolutely made my day. One person in the class had me as their pick, and I'm sure they forgot about it within hours. But I remember that vote 30 years later, and how it made me feeI. I never learned who it was.
I may have gotten the fewest votes. But I got the best votes.
