Cross posting (using software to post the same content on multiple social media services) is only allowed if you regularly check your account here and interact with notifications. IMPORTANT: Please do not cross post twitter retweets or quoted tweets!

Be Lawful
Do not post or link to content that could get us hit with a violation of copyright. Only post personally identifiable information if you have explicit permission to do so.

Be Mindful
Politics, Religion, and other controversial topics should be posted behind a content warning. Be mindful of people you interact with, as they may have had experiences drastically different from yours, including severe psychological or physical trauma.
