Hi all! As promised, here is the proposed text of the newest version of the rules. The staff has gone through like eight drafts and literally thousands and thousands of matrix posts to get here, so please be kind. You can see @limeey’s comment on the transparency post if you want more insight into how this sausage was made.

We are opening these rules to commentary from the community before they go into effect. To be clear, this isn’t a vote, but we will take all community feedback into account and answer whatever questions we can before finalizing anything.

Please keep in mind that we are not Reddit, we do not have Reddit’s resources, and safety and consent are our priorities.

I’ll post the draft in two parts in two comments: The new sidebar, and the FAQ/clarifications page.

    not necessarily, but we would rather not have bot content. Remember, no one is making money on this instance, and I don’t really get what the point of bot content is other than to “provide content” - if the idea is to generate “karma” to then sell the account then that is no bueno. But people who want to provide content to their com, I don’t necessarily mind that… it’s a weird issue. I just don’t get why someone would bot content maliciously
