A Game Without Context

[Johnlives]

Imagine if you will, social media. I know, a terrible thing.

Consider a group of people that span political and social divides. These disparate people have used this platform to say things that others consider to be controversial, some say intolerable.

The game is, define a set of rules that all users of this platform must abide by before judgment is laid upon them.

Remember, we are defining without context, we are looking for fundamental rules by which all must abide.

(Don't) Buy/support what you (don't) like.

If I understand your OP correctly.
Could you expand upon what you mean?

"Don't be a dick" is very vague, but its the best i can come up with, without enough context.

Dont feed the penguins, always bring a towel and please rerack weights when you're done with them

 

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

"Say Nothing"

Because either they will abide by the rules, and thus will be unable to argue, or will be united by their shared dislike of the authoritarian and counter-productive rules and will join together to protest them!

I could have sworn that quote was from Gandhi. I guess Gandhi was just quoting from the master.

OT
If you're wanting to have a social media platform with a diverse range of political beliefs you have to pick one of two options.

1) Ban all political discussion. This way arguments wont be had between people. This wont work as people will always find a way to argue with his fellow man.

2) Don't ban anything. This way discourse can reach its natural conclusion, calling each other petty names and threatening to rape the other persons mother. This wont work as all discussion will become call out threads.

Use only facial expressions -- Words will be used against you quite destructively these days.
