RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Feeling nostalgic for a time period you never lived through.

+1 and you feel that you are forgetting something important, but you can't remember and the deadline of said something keeps getting closer
+1 and you take a nap because it's the only way to make it all go away for a while.
The dread ~1 hour before a social event you agreed to and wanting to not go even if you know you’ll have fun once you’re there.

Paranoia that you will be accused of something you didn’t do, so you arrange your actions around it to avoid being suspicious, only to fear that will make you suspicious anyway.

Not particularly liking a piece of music but being addicted to it anyways.
+1 In general I don't like pop music, of any era, but sometimes a single song will stick in my head and will find itself on my playlist anyway.

Writing something before falling asleep midway through it, only to awaken shortly afterwards, and then feeling like you don't understand how to grasp the rest of what you're trying to write in order to finish it.
+1 (Happens even when I walk away from something though)
+1 and then you’re questioning whether or not your train of thought before you fell asleep was even coherent.

Feeling like something you see on TV reminds you of the taste of a food you know of just because of the color of said thing on TV.
