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.
- This excludes schadenfreude.[1]
b) Posts must not overtly deal with toxic politics.[1]
c) Links must not be low-effort.[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.) - Posts must not be fake news.

If there’s something you think that should be on here but isn’t, feel free to say so!
it can be personal news, but not something too personal. for example, you got a pet - you are happy - you feel like posting here - but we barely know you - we still upvote because we find you happy - but this news barely affects anyone. if it effects more than 1 tiny (4-5 people) group, that works. for example, a minority group got better rights in so and so region. be it very small, it is not really that personal, and we get happy.
