RULES
- 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
- Keep it clean and SFW

MODERATORS
I guess my parents did a pretty good job of not swearing in front of us when we were young. By the time we were teens they stopped pretending, but by that time we were old enough to understand when it was appropriate to swear.
The problem with little kids using curse words is that they often can't understand the social situation. And the whole point of curse words is they're attention grabbing. It's like giving your little brat an air horn, but one you can't even confiscate.
