Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. 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 [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I decided not to block them, but I give them user tags for what type of BS they spread. Like if they're just negative all the time, what type of propaganda they sling, if they troll.

It lets me know right away not to interact with them again, but it also lets me make sure I didn't make a mistake if I catch them on a bad day or with a random bad take, but if they are up to no good, I can see what they're trying to say to other users, and then I can try to bring things back in a more legit direction by providing a counterpoint. Or to enjoy watching others call them out too. I like seeing when everyone can call out their BS right away. Makes me feel we have a wise community.
