Hey y'all, I just read a retrospective of Ruqqus and it got me thinking that it's time to define some forum rules. I usually send the rules in a private message but I decided to expand on it.

I want Agora Road to be a place where everyone can enjoy and to not be embarrassed by being associated with it. The reason why a lot of alt tech fails is because the lack of any real moderation and it gets infiltrated by Nazis and glowies.

The forum will still be lax on moderation, just follow the rules below.

Here are the Forum Rules
1. The is a Safe For Work Forum, so no nudity or gore
2. No doxing or raiding is allowed
3. Post nothing that is Illegal under United States Law
4. No racist shit on here. This is not /pol/
5. NO Thread derailing, keep threads on topic.

Guidelines
- Try to be civil with your fellow travelers, we are all connected through the Agora Road. But I wont stop you from having heated discussions. However, Chill Chat Cafe is argument free.
- If you have a problem with another Traveler, you can "Block" them on their profile so you wont have to see their posts.
- You can have fun and do a little trolling, but if thats all you do and are an asshat then you gotta go. (I made that mistake before and the user stabbed the community in the back by bringing in Tusken raiders here trying to destroy the site)

No thread derailments. It degrades discussion and overall quality of the forum. Keep it on topic

    Well, if you do, take some reading material with you, at least. I know it's a little long at 17,000 words, but I think it'll be worth an hour of your time and might stimulate your imagination. There's some original thought and analysis in it, as well some surveys from Huxley, Popper, de Tocqueville, and Kaczynski.

    An extremely astute and appreciated recommendation. Indeed, I've been meaning to delve into that for a while. I think it would speak a lot on the issue of closed societies that are nonetheless very abstract (in the Popperian sense of the term, meaning those societies where freedom of thought and discourse are not allowed, and where the laws are against the principles that allow men and woman to live as they please, with only civic or economic engagement with the rest of their peers). Within this category I would include the 20th century authoritarian states of the fascists and communists, as well as maybe some 19th century European polities.

    I deliberately avoided speaking on these cases in the DM's I sent the both of you. For one thing, it's long enough as-is and a full discussion of the problem would quite literally be novel-length. For another, I believe that the horror and objective inhumanity of modern rational societies where not even the pretext of liberty or open thought is given its due -- such as the totalitarian societies of North Korea, Turkmenistan, the PRC, and increasingly even places like the Russian Federation -- is plain and obvious for all us Westerners and children of the internet to perceive and thus should not merit much immediate discussion.
