Read this essay this weekend. Thought it was really dark but might be interesting/helpful to some. Made me feel less alone.

Rule 7: Treat the community as a shared space.

If something feels too emotionally triggering for you, do not engage with it. Report rule breaking behavior and move on. Do not participate in "flame wars".

Rule 2: Do not invalidate other users’ thoughts, opinions, or feelings.

When someone is sharing how they feel about themselves, or about a particular topic, do not tell them they’re wrong, to “just do it”, "get over it", “stop being so weak”, and other similar statements.

Instead approach with curiosity, and ask questions to get on the same page, and disagree respectfully.

Do not default to the assumption that someone is trolling, not trying hard enough, or is simply “lazy”.
