Since it's slightly less than easy to glean the rules from the sidebar, here's an itemized collection of rules. For example, the schadenfreude rule can be referred to as a)1.

a) Posts must be uplifting.

1. This excludes schadenfreude.^[1]^
   Try !politicaloptimism@piefed.social instead if the subject involves powerful people.

b) Posts must not overtly deal with toxic politics.^[1]^

c) Links must not be low-effort.^[1]^

1. Links must not go to a copy of a copy of a copy.
   (Try finding the original source instead! Links do not have to be textual, so there's no need to find a content farm to post a video.)
2. Posts must not be fake news.

d) Comments should foster open discussion.

1. Negativity/spreading doom and gloom in comments is currently allowed.^[2]^
2. Comments be civil and must not include personal attacks towards other commenters or non-public figures. (Swearing is allowed as long as it isn't directed towards those.) Please engage with others' points respectfully and fully.
   The rest of the lemmy.world instance rules apply here as well.
