DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
No antinatalism struggle sessions
