Community rules
Not Bliss is for sharing interesting things you’ve learned and talking about them. These rules apply to threads and to comments.
What’s welcome
- Things you found interesting, with sources a reader can check where you have them.
- Opinions, questions and disagreement, in a thread’s comments.
- Challenging a claim: reply to it, or have it fact-checked.
What isn’t
- Harassment or hate. No attacks on people, and no attacks on groups for who they are. Argue with what someone said, not with who they are.
- Private information. Nothing private about another person: addresses, phone numbers, health, family, or anything they wouldn’t want published.
- Illegal or dangerous content. Nothing that helps someone hurt themselves or others.
- Spam and advertising.
- Other people’s work. Don’t paste whole articles or books. Summarize in your own words and link to the source.
- Presenting opinion as settled fact. Threads are for what can be checked; comments are for views.
How fact-checks fit in
Members’ threads carry the tag “Not factually verified” until someone has them fact-checked. A fact-check is done by an AI reading sources. It is useful and it can be wrong. A check that finds problems is not a rule violation, and it is not a reason to report someone.
Reporting
Every thread and every comment has a “Report” link. Reports go to the site’s moderators and are not shown to the author. A moderator can hide a thread or comment, and can suspend an account from posting. Hidden content is not deleted, and a decision can be reversed if it was a mistake.
