No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

MODERATORS
It doesn’t need to be an alternative. It’s a really effective way to regulate capitalism by standardizing and socializing private industries like education, police, fire, roads, internet access, healthcare, etc.
Socialism is the workers collectively owning the means of production, everything else is just details. (Well, the anti-heirarchy bit is important too, especially to keep the means from falling into something that isn't just capitalism with extra steps, but complicated)
It is innately opposed to capitalism as a result. What it isn't innately opposed to is a market economy.
Is a service economy inherently socialist? The person is the means of production and is self owned.?
The means of production would not just be yourself but also other work tools. A basic desk job wouldn't really fall under this condition, since you usually don't have control over your computer or the software running in it, for example. I couldn't think of any example of a service job where all the work tools are worker controlled right now.
