- 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
You don't get creative skills without many hours of practice. You should.
But what if the ideas that most excite me are the ones I wanna do justice which means I have to delay until I get the actual skill to make them. Meanwhile making whatever just to practice doesn't excite me enough to motivate me to even start.
Art is about the process, not the end result. Any artist you see doing public posts with detailed art has many thousands of drawings that are rough. And that's okay, the internet has everyone showing off just their best stuff, but that's just the best stuff. If you want to make art that fulfills what you're looking foe, just keep doing art. You'll get there.
