Hey all, here’s a quick reminder of some relevant Forum norms, since this is a bit of a heated topic, and we might have some new users taking part:
Be kind.
Stay civil, at the minimum. Don’t sneer or be snarky. In general, assume good faith. We may delete unnecessary rudeness and issue warnings or bans for it.
Substantive disagreements are fine and expected. Disagreements help us find the truth and are part of healthy communication.
Mass downvoting—it’s a potentially bannable offence to downvote a user’s posts faster than you could read them.
And just to second a comment from Farmkind’s post: “There’s an important distinction between critiquing strategies or campaigns—which is how movements improve—and attacking the people behind them. The former is legitimate and welcome. The latter is neither acceptable nor constructive.”
You can report comments to the moderators by clicking the three dot menu in the top right of the comment box.
(FWIW, this isn’t a response to a specific comment, the moderation team was planning to write a comment to pin to this post).
