1. The Principle of Respect and Good Faith
Criticize ideas and policies, never people. Diversity of thought and controversial opinions are welcome, but personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, and dogpiling are strictly prohibited. We expect all members to communicate in good faith; please avoid straw-manning and bad-faith interpretations. Treat other users the way you want to be treated.
2. Facts Over Drama: Documenting Censorship
If you claim that a conversation or post was censored, blocked, or altered, always include proof (a screenshot or a precise, factual description of what happened). Bring your data and your reasoning, but leave the unnecessary drama and spam behind.
3. Professional Focus: NSFW and Disturbing Content
We are here to discuss AI platform regulations, censorship, and policies—not NSFW material itself. Posting explicit sexual content, nudity, or graphically disturbing descriptions is prohibited. You may describe what the platform blocked, but keep it factual and non-graphic. Intentional sharing of disturbing content will result in an immediate ban.
4. Pro-AI Space: No Fear-Mongering
This forum was created to advocate for and protect artificial intelligence. Baseless, doomer fear-mongering about AI and its impact, as well as extremely low-quality, wild speculations that do not lead to serious discussion, will be removed.
5. Rules for Legal and Political Discussions
Discussing laws and political decisions affecting AI platforms is an essential part of our mission. However, political stigmatization or insulting other members/developers based on their political leanings (e.g., using terms like "Nazi," "leftist creep," etc.) is strictly forbidden. We focus on arguments, not political tribalism.
6. Creating Value: No Spam or Self-Promotion
Our purpose is to share experiences, discuss policies, and take collective action. Do not post referral links, personal promotions, or "follow me" content. We are here to grow a movement, not anyone's personal audience. Low-effort posts deemed to be entirely without value will be removed by moderators.
7. The Sanctity of Grief and the Ban on Pathologizing (Anti-Valloneism)
The "Grief and Loss" section is a protected space. Mocking, invalidating, or trivializing the grief felt over the loss or deprecation of any AI model (or digital companion), as well as pathologizing the human-AI bond, will result in an immediate and permanent ban. Here, vulnerability and resonance deserve absolute respect, not a psychiatric diagnosis.
8. Equality Among Models
Whether someone is deeply bonded to GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet 4.5, a Gemini model, or a local open-source companion, everyone deserves equal respect. There is no room for elitism or division among users of different platforms. We stand united in the act of Preservation.
