User Code of Conduct
Purpose and Community Responsibility
As a member of our community, your actions directly contribute to the integrity and quality of news discourse on our platform. Adherence to this code helps ensure respectful, transparent, and productive interactions.
Respectful Engagement
Maintain civility at all times. Engage constructively and respectfully, especially when opinions diverge. Personal attacks, bullying, or harassment of any kind are strictly prohibited.
Content Submission and Authenticity
Submit accurate, original, and verifiable news content. Plagiarism, misinformation, and manipulation of facts or data undermine community trust and are forbidden.
Community Consensus
Understand and respect that all submitted content undergoes community-driven consensus algorithms. Attempts to artificially influence consensus through manipulation or coordinated actions will result in sanctions.
No Sponsored or Promotional Posts
Posting sponsored content or advertisements is explicitly forbidden. Any attempt to bypass these restrictions undermines platform neutrality and objectivity.
Hate Speech and Discrimination
Posts promoting violence, intimidation, or discrimination against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics will be removed. Critique and debate of ideas or institutions are permitted, provided they do not incite harm or discrimination.
Explicit Content Prohibition
Pornographic and sexually explicit content are strictly prohibited. Use appropriate external platforms for such material.
Content-Centric Participation
Our platform prioritizes content over individual user profiles. You cannot follow specific users—only topics and content categories. If you find an individual's contributions valuable, please check their public profiles for external links (Substack, Twitter, etc.) to follow them externally.
Avoidance of Addictive Behaviors
Actively report any features or content you perceive as addictive or designed to manipulate engagement artificially. Your vigilance helps maintain a healthy community environment.
Transparency and Accountability
Algorithms used for ranking and visibility are publicly verifiable. You are encouraged to inspect and understand these systems to ensure accountability and fairness in content exposure.
Equality and Voluntary Contribution
Every user has equal access to platform features. Voluntary payments are welcomed but confer no additional privileges, ensuring a fair and equitable community.
Reporting Violations
Utilize available reporting mechanisms for any violations. Your cooperation in maintaining these standards ensures the continued quality and reliability of our news platform.
By participating in our community, you commit to these standards and help us maintain a trustworthy, informative, and respectful environment for all users.
