- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

MODERATORS
I remember my first paycheck that wasn't from temp stuff. I was 25, it was 2008, and I had just started a job that would become a proper career. I was used to living with almost nothing as a freelance computery guy, but not knowing how much I'd have the next month was getting really tiresome.
The new job was steady and it paid reasonably well. Seeing that first sum tick in was such an amazing feeling, especially knowing it would happen every month. The shift in personal finances was cinderellesque.
