πͺ Community Rules
Rule 1 - Behaviour and Etiquette
-
Be Respectful. Do not bully, flame, or harass others.
-
Malicious comments are not allowed but heated discussion and salty banter is okay.
-
Low effort replies and complaints about content will be removed.
Rule 2 - Content Guidelines
-
Posts must have sufficient content to generate a meaningful discussion.
-
Images, links, or videos must include additional text that summarizes the topic.
Rule 3 - Reviews and Disclosure
-
Use [First Impressions] in the title if your experience with the product is limited.
-
Use the [Review] in the title if you can provide comprehensive details with enough familiarity to answer follow-up questions.
-
Disclose how the product being reviewed was acquired (e.g., PIF, loan, or purchase). If the product was provided to you directly by the maker or vendor free of charge or at a discount, you must disclose this fact even if the item will later be returned to the maker or vendor.
Rule 4 - Advertising
-
Vendors may post product release info or business updates. Please don't abuse this.
-
Non-vendors may post topics about products if it will foster a compelling discussion.
-
Do not solicit donations or share fundraisers without mod approval.
Rule 5 - Inappropriate Content
-
All NSFW/L content must request mod approval and be flaired appropriately.
-
Non-shaving related NSFW/L content is not allowed.
Rule 10 - Moderator Discretion
- The rules may not apply perfectly to every situation. The mods have final discretion.
Looks like some issues I'm having may be specific to the app I was using (interstellar). Posting via the Web is fine. Well at least I narrowed down the issue
I see it, and by the way I'm here! I'm glad you're putting in the hard work to keep the wetshaving fediverse community channel moving forward. Blindly trusting reddit is a recipe for failure!
Iβm here!
Iβve been here for 5 minutes and already itβs going downhill.
That's my specialty! π€ͺ
My pleasure! I'm thrilled that people still show up to these places. The fediverse is messy compared to centralized things like Reddit so I'm happy that people are willing to give it a try.
If you can see this post, you'll see everything else coming this way.
What post?
I, uhm, if you, uhhh.
