🌿 The Unfiltered Extract: Community Standards
This is a space for honest thought, courageous conversation, and human complexity.
It is not a space for cruelty, dehumanization, or performative outrage.
By participating here — reading, commenting, or engaging — you agree to the following:
1. Lead with basic human respect
You may disagree here. You may argue here. You may challenge ideas here.
You may not attack, demean, harass, threaten, or dehumanize other people.
No racism, no misogyny, no antisemitism, no homophobia, no transphobia, no ableism, no calls for violence. Ever.
This is a human-first space.
2. Critique ideas, not identities
Attack arguments. Question systems. Interrogate power.
Do not attack people for who they are, where they come from, or what group they belong to.
If your position requires demeaning someone else’s humanity, it does not belong here.
3. No propaganda, no bad-faith manipulation
This is not a place for spam, coordinated talking points, trolling, or psychological warfare.
If you are here to provoke, derail, or dominate rather than understand, this is not your room.
4. Complexity is welcome. Cruelty is not.
This space holds nuance, grief, anger, and disagreement.
It does not hold cruelty disguised as “just being honest.”
5. Unity does not mean sameness
You do not have to agree with me or with each other.
You do have to treat each other like human beings.
6. Boundaries and moderation
I reserve the right to remove comments or block accounts that violate these standards.
This is not censorship. It is curation of a sane, adult, human space.
7. The spirit of this space
This is a place for:
Truth without brutality
Courage without cruelty
Accountability without dehumanization
Disagreement without destruction
If you’re here in good faith, you’re welcome.
If you’re here to burn things down, there are plenty of other corners of the internet for that.
