Rules

If you think something needs to be re-defined, please forks this repo and send a PR and we will review it. There is a current restriction of 160 characters so take that in mind!

1. Be kind and respectful. - This will all be way more fun if everyone is nice to each other. You can disagree on something while not making it personal.

2. Stick to the topic in posts. - This is a community for Software Engineering. For anything else, please post in another appropriate community. Also don't use non-relevant hashtags in posts.

3. Promote only meaningful content. - No ads, self-promo, or other kinds of promotions if not partnered with us. OSS/FOSS projects are excepted. No use of URL shorteners.

4. No qoute posting. - Don't paste your post link here, create a community post and select "Also share with followers" for better reach. Avoid replying to posts with new quote posts.

5. No general career advice. - Career advice posts must include questions or discussions that benefit aspiring or professional software engineers. Avoid asking questions just for engagement.

6. No spamming. - Don't spam the same content. Avoid using #news and limit to 2 hashtags per post. No follow-for-follow requests. Repeated spamming may result in a ban.

7. No memes. - Although we love memes, we want to have a community of serious discourse. Find another appropriate community for memes.

8. No posts in languages other than English. - The only language that should be used here is English. And that includes links to resources as well.

9. No low-effort posts. - Avoid posts with bare links or reposts without insightful comments. Very short posts that don't encourage discussion are also considered low-effort.
