If you follow these, you'll be fine:
Don't hate on minorities
Don't post AI content outside of communities made for it
Don't insert yourself into communities where you don't belong, eg:
DO NOT post anything negative about Linux (unless you're comparing it to BSD, of course)
Sometimes it's a bit harder not to offend than on reddit, because posts may hit your front page from an instance that was created as a safe space for a group you're not part of, and they may react harshly to you budding in.
Also because marginalized people are allowed here. Will be a great lesson in not being a dick!
being marginalized and being offended by stupid shit have nothing to do with one another.
plenty of marginalized people have senses of humor and are thick skinned. it's mostly the privileged over educated types who get offended by everything and on behave of everyone.
