7. Right to privacy
Do NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.

8. Report abuse
The report function isn't labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn't mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.
9. Impersonation
Don't make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn't.

We met on a Minecraft server over ~6 ish years ago when we were like 12. We've definitely split over time but we still chat sometimes. Their birthday is in like a week and id like to give them a gift this year since it's their 18th and also I would like to give back to them since they've been a great friend for so long.
I'll list some attributes:
- they are trans but closeted for the foreseeable future (I am trans too that's kinda why we get along so well)
- they cosplay for conventions every year. I considered going once but it's like 13 hours away.
- they have a laptop and a Nintendo switch, but mainly use the laptop
- they like Minecraft
- they like the band Crane Wives
I ideally would like to spend $15-20 and my options are really limited since we only know each other online. My thoughts are either like 3 months of the basic discord subscription (they expressed they wanted it in the past) or a game on Steam.
I'm leaning more towards the game on steam as it's a long lasting thing.
I'm thinking either A Hat in Time or OneShot
I've never bought a gift for someone online other than among us to someone for $5 when it was popular.
Is there anything im missing or anything else you'd recommend?

Title text:
Maybe encouraging the publication of null results isn't enough--maybe we need a journal devoted to publishing results the study authors find personally annoying.
