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!
I don’t think it’s possible to summarize the rules any further (besides dropping the parenthetical) without causing more people to just read the summarized summarized version and think they’ve understood all the rules and go on to break some rules. and there’s a certain charm to the persuasion-style sidebar we have i wanna preserve lol
On the formatting: I’m very keen on preserving the semantic formatting of HTML. HTML without the style attribute is really only supposed to tell you the relation between the elements instead of styling things. It lays out how the page is organized so any client/user may decide how to customize that layout themselves if they want to. Replacing semantics with styling removes that semantic meaning and in certain cases can make it harder for screenreaders. Here, the semantics have to be inferred from the decoration.
But thanks for your time!
