Hi everyone!!!!

It was recently brought to our (mine and pencilnoobs) attention that our community need rules. So I thought it would be fair if everyone could take a part in making a new (and bright!!!) future of hopeposting!

So, here's a ruleset, provided for you by an amazing ludrol@bookwormstory.social and revised/expanded by me:

1. Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
2. Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
3. Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
4. Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
5. No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

I also think there shoud be a rule about format of the posts themselves (to prevent turning into cutsie/deep-quotes group), but I'm having a hard time defining it to be not very restrictive. Please feel free to discuss and give your feedback!!!!! (you are a very valuable asset to our company)

Edit: New rules are now implemented!
