As some may have noticed, I took over the sub from the absent admin. This was purely to put a stop to one user starting to post obviously AI generated blog posts of little value.
I talked with, and requested @bsit@sopuli.xyz became another mod as they are the most active poster here.
We'll try to do our best to keep the community pleasant, and free of spam. To that end I did add some hopefully sensible rules to the sidebar:
This is a space for exploration, not proselytizing. Share your truth, but leave room for others to discover theirs. Rational discourse and lived experience is welcome; dogma and demands are not.
RULES
-
No dogma. Whatever system you want to follow is yours to follow as you feel best but don’t try to impose it on others, or otherwise shame others for not doing things your way. Discussing the tenets of your system is fine but know the difference between “this works for me”, “this is the only correct way” and “this is what the teachings say”.
-
No bigotry, hate, racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia etc. 0 tolerance policy.
-
No AI slop, or spam. No paywalled content. Limited self-promotion is fine but it shouldn’t be your sole reason of posting here. Active posters engaging positively get more leniency.
-
No soliciting or offering services of any kind.
I realize the community is rather quiet and frankly I'm fine with that. Not looking to impose dramatic changes, though I figured I could write a bit of a guide to general, non-dogmatic and rational spirituality for beginners. It's getting away from me a bit but hopefully it'll be done within a few days.
I'd like to think that there are inclusive Christian communities. In fact I know there are (just not on Lemmy I guess). And I don't want to encourage painting all groups with the same brush, and would ask that you don't either, not in this community. But yes, in this case there was a miss on my part, now rectified.
