        What to post
    </h3>
    <p>
        The general rule is: anything related to open source software and open culture, that is interesting to you, and that you think other like-minded people will find interesting too.
    </p>
    <p>
        You are open to submit any links ranging from software, to art, science, and politics, as long as they have some interesting relevance with open culture. This means that most posts about proprietary software, politics, religion, sport, or meme are off-topic.
    </p>

        How to post

        Use a concise and (if possible) objective title. Do <strong>not</strong> use clickbait titles.
    </p>
    <p>
        Link to the original source whenever possible: avoid ads, paywalls, and content farms.
    </p>
    <p>
        Please do not submit too many links at once.

    <p>
        In short: don't be a dick. Keep the discussion civil, do not insult other people, and do not start flamewars. Do not spam, and try to avoid "+1 comments" as well as unconstructive criticism. They add nothing to the conversation, and we try our best to keep discussions interesting.
    </p>
    <p>
        Unless malice is overwhelmingly evident, assume good intentions whenever reading and responding others’ comments. We do <strong>not</strong> tolerate insults, threats, or harassment.
