2. Don’t promote big-tech software
3. No apathy and defeatism for privacy (i.e. “They already have my data, why bother?”)
4. No reposting of news that was already posted
5. No crypto, blockchain, NFTs
6. No Xitter links (if absolutely necessary, use xcancel)

Some of these are only vaguely related, but great communities.
