A community for Asian people around the world to share their cultures, news, life stories.

Rule 1: Follow all instance rules of piefed.social (where this community is hosted)

Rule 2: No bigotry, No xenophobia. It's okay to be against governments. It's not okay to be against people, it's not okay to make harmful generalizations against people based on their race/ethnicity.

Rule 3: Be on topic. Should be related to Asians or Asian culture in someway. Although this community is made for the Asian Diaspora, non-Asians are welcome and encouraged to ask questions; a disclaimer about this fact must go along with your post/comment

Rule 4: No fascists, No tankies, No authoritarians, or similar craziness.

Rule 5: Just be nice. It's simple.

It definitely depends on your relationships with your parents. I have a good one with mine, and I have a small altar with my grandparents in my home, but if I had a bad relationship with them it would probably not be a thing.
