Guidelines

When using discuss.online, please follow these guidelines:

Try to create interesting discussion. The best conversation brings a fresh perspective. Substantive comments are expected particularly for contentious topics.

Practice the Principle of Charity. Seek out common ground, and assume the best of others. Inquire, don't attack.

Humor is fine, but avoid low-effort common joke responses.

Create broadly-focused communities instead of overly niche communities. Prefer existing communities if they're relevant, and help nurture them.

Don't test boundaries, that's not what the site is for. Consider yourself an honored guest, and respect the admins as people with lives.

Much of the Hacker News Guidelines are relevant as well, if you'd like additional guidelines.
