Rule #2 is possibly our most important one:

Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.

Learn to disagree without being rude or disrespectful.

It can be difficult sometimes, since western social media thrives on collective outrage, and they knowingly ingrain this into us for years. But please do adhere to this rule, and it will make this place much more enjoyable.

We will not hesitate to issue temp bans (usually a day or two) for those who make everyone's experience unpleasant.Hit the report button if you see this behavior.

Thanks!

this! I hope we stay such a friendly and open-minded community where one doesn't have to fear to say/write their thoughts.

Good luck with that. Knowing were the exodus has come from. We can start vetting the new users but this is not proven effective.

Malicious reporting can also become a problem if we start being trigger happy on banning users.

That is of course quiet a difficult task. And will be very much in the hands of the moderators. Just like the countless mods that voluntarily keept reddit running. I'am quiet positive that we cant accomplish that even better here.
