Community Values

We believe people can do more together than alone and that each of us plays an important role in helping to create a safe and respectful community. So, we’ve laid out a set of principles for us to follow on this Page:

Let’s celebrate the things that bring us together.

Let’s choose to treat each other like neighbors rather than strangers.

Let’s respect individuality and welcome diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

Let’s assume people mean well.

Our moderators are here for the community to uphold these values every day.
