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 [email protected]

mods there have historically gone overboard with bans. One person said "dude is a gender neutral word" in a completely different instance and blahaj mods banned them cuz "transphobic" lmfao

Check out the whole track record on [email protected]

they even had to block this topic because of how frequent it is.

So it's not out of the question they see this and think one is appropriating pride month

They didn't say "dude is a gender neutral word" they said "anyone who doesn't think dude is a gender neutral word needs to get over it".

Dude is gender neutral in the same way that chicos is gender neutral.

I just read through that, I can definitely see them banning OP and labeling all of this as transphobia/gatekeeping. I added the instance to my block list, not wanting to play random purity tests with bad faith mods
