Community and moderation guidelines, what counts as anti-community and what doesn't

We do understand that everyone has the right to express their opinions and thoughts, and that commenting on this forum is a way for you to share your ideas and engage with others. However, it is important to remember that commenting is not a fundamental right, and that not all comments will be published. The reason for this is that comments can have a powerful impact on others, and they can sometimes cause hurt or offense. It is our responsibility as members of this community to be mindful of the words we use and the impact they may have on others. We urge you to consider the potential consequences of your comments before posting them. While it is okay to express differing viewpoints and to have healthy debates, it is not okay to use hateful or hurtful language or to attack others personally. Let's work together to create a positive and respectful community where everyone feels welcome and valued. Thank you for your understanding.
