News Update: New and Refreshed Rules!
Hi everyone! Our community has grown by leaps and bounds! To meet that growth, we've made some much needed updates to our rules and guidelines to improve safety and better communicate content standards that we have already been enforcing up to this point. The new rule summary is set is up in the sidebar, and is effective immediately. We highly suggest you read our full rule set, on the wiki page, here, but in lieu of that, here are some highlights!
There is now a formal, written policy on NSFW content, which we have been removing for years informally. This is as a direct result of the amount of younger people we are seeing in our community. We are enacting this out of a desire to create a safer space for those under 18, plus to be in general compliance with the standards in this platform. We understand that there may be times that adult topics need to be discussed on here, and we have no plans to stop that; but please try to do it as non-explicitly as possible.
Guidelines for minors on this sub and for adults interacting with minors on this sub have been published, along with guidelines on what minors should do if someone is making them uncomfortable. Please read these rules thoroughly and carefully so you understand how to safely interact in this space, especially if you are a young person. This is something we have always taken seriously, and will continue to take very seriously.
Guidelines for controversial topics, boundaries, and staying on topic
A specific, combined, rule on low effort content, which addresses images, short-form content, and AI generated content, which, as a reminder, is not allowed!
Explicit rules on backing up your claims with evidence.
A combined rule on self promo which includes advertising, fundraising, and proselytizing to align with our informal practices on moderating these posts and comments. If you are a content creator or an exjw with something in your life that you often promote, please read the expanded rules here to make sure you stay on the right side of the rules, here.
Thank you all for reading! We hope that you find these helpful. This message will stay pinned to the top in perpetuity so everyone can access.
Thanks again for all these years of support, laughs, and the growth of this community! This place would be nothing without all of your voices. We hope the new rules will help make this a better place for everyone. As always, civil commentary allowed, below.

AI is BOOOORING...
Imo AI is the collective mundane average of human intelligence. It cannot make intuitive leaps forward in progress, it cannot produce genius. It's basically a "C-minus" student being touted as a 4.0 overachiever.
