What belongs here
Stay inside the room’s stated scope rather than adjacent fandoms or general off-topic dumps. Spoiler-tagged posts and titles are expected when new episodes, endings, or fight results are discussed. Self-promotion and advertising are tightly limited—read those rules before linking your own channel, shop, or site. Low-effort memes or empty shitposts are commonly removed—add context that fits the room’s purpose. Civility and anti-harassment rules are explicit; personal attacks get you removed regardless of how right you think you are.
How it differs from lookalikes
The length of the public rule list is itself a signal: skim all of them once before assuming defaults from similar communities.
