    Gen Z activist stories are one of the few things that still give me hope.

      It’s hugely encouraging to see this activity happening at an Ivy League school. I hope this helps catalyze young people from wealthy families to start working towards the common good.

      It’s usually the birth name of a transgender person who has transitioned to a new name of their choosing. So like if Dave decided they want to be Lindsey, calling Lindsey “Dave” would be dead naming them

        Got it, interesting to call them ‘dead’ names.

          They are literally dead names, that is, names that had once not been, but now are, dead.

      A “dead name” or “deadname” is the term for the name given at birth to a person who has turned out to be transgender and changed their name as part of their transition. Knowing that a person has a preferred name and intentionally using their dead name is a fairly hostile act.

4. Educate don’t attack

No mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, purposeful antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusation or allegation, or backseat moderating is allowed. Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks against another user or insult other people, examples of violations would be going after the person rather than the stance they take.

If we feel the comment is uncalled for we will remove it. Stay civil and there won’t be problems.


5. No Advertising

Under no circumstance are you allowed to promote or advertise any product or service


6. No factually misleading information

Content that makes claims or implications that can be proven false or misleading will be removed.


7. Headlines

If the title of the post isn’t an original title of the article then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format “Original title: {title here}”.


8. Staff Discretion

Staff can take disciplinary action on offenses not listed in the rules when a community member’s actions or general conduct creates a negative experience for another player and/or the community.

9. No posting links to Twitter/X or Meta owned properties

Social Media products such as Twitter/X and Meta Properties (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Threads) are known low quality information sources - they actively spread misinformation without sufficient moderation, hate speech. These platforms each have billionaire owners working actively to eliminate labor protections through direct action, lobbying, performative large scale layoffs and attacks on institutions that enforce labor law.

You are not encouraged to do so, but you may post screenshots from these sites IF THE INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE ON ANOTHER VALID PLATFORM. Screenshots must include info to support a relevant conversation within this community and must show a VISIBLE time/date stamp for posterity. If you are caught manipulating content of a screenshot, your post will be removed and you will receive an indefinite ban from this community at the discretion of the moderator(s)

No pass through/archive services are allowed as they potentially feed traffic back to these services, directly or indirectly (e.g. Services like Xcancel or Nitter)
