What belongs here
Stay inside the room’s stated scope rather than adjacent off-topic dumps. Self-promotion and ads are limited—read those rules before linking your own channel or shop. Low-effort or empty shitposts are often removed—add context that fits the purpose. Civility/anti-harassment rules apply; personal attacks get removed.
