At least one of the Korean workers swept up in a huge immigration raid on a Hyundai Motor factory site in Georgia last week was living and working legally in the US, according to an internal federal government document obtained by the Guardian.
Officials then “mandated” that he agree to be removed from the US despite not having violated his visa.
The findings showed when political pressure is applied, the AI agents became fragmented and dissent more common, according to the paper by Sophia Kazinnik and Tara Sinclair.
"This simulation shows that the Federal Reserve is only partially insulated from politics," and that "outside scrutiny can shape internal decision-making, even in an institution guided by formal rules," they said in the paper.
The simulation replicates the July 2025 FOMC meeting. While few central banks may be ready to have AI agents set monetary policy, a growing number of them are using the technology to streamline operations.
The Fed conducted research using generative AI models to analyse minutes of the FOMC meetings. The European Central Bank uses machine learning models to forecast euro-area inflation.
“If they try to jam something down our throats without any compromise — without any bipartisan, real, bipartisan discussion — they ain’t going to get the votes, plain and simple,” Schumer said.
Neal argued that Congress can’t wait much longer to avert the expiration of enhanced tax subsidies that help about 20 million of Americans afford health care plans offered on exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act. People who receive that assistance are already being notified that the tax subsidies will end later this year, he said, with open enrollment for health insurance beginning in November.
“So you can have this huge spike in health care costs coupled with the subtraction of health care for millions of Americans,” Neal said, referring to Medicaid cuts in the GOP domestic policy bill passed in July. “And we have broad agreement that the health of the American people should be paramount in this debate.”

Imposing the ban and a 10 pm to 8 am curfew for 15- to 18-year-olds would "send a signal both to children and parents" that social media "is not harmless" for the young, Laure Miller, the MP who compiled a parliamentary inquiry's report, told AFP.
With more than 1.5 billion users worldwide, TikTok -- owned by China-based ByteDance -- has been especially under fire from Western governments in Europe and the US in recent years.
Concerns raised over the platform have included content encouraging suicide, self harm or an unhealthy body image as well as its potential use for foreign political interference.
French President Emmanuel Macron has already backed a social media ban for children and young adolescents, following in the footsteps of Australia which started drafting its own landmark ban for under-16s last year.
Meanwhile TikTok is in legal limbo in America, as President Donald Trump has permitted the platform to continue operating there despite a law requiring its sale.
The service was also singled out as a vector for Russian influence when Romania's presidential election was controversially annulled last year by the country's supreme court.
Launched in March, the French parliamentary committee set out to examine TikTok and its psychological effects on minors after a 2024 lawsuit against the platform by seven families accusing it of exposing their children to content pushing them towards suicide.
Members put forward Thursday's recommendations -- welcomed by Laure Boutron-Marmion, a lawyer representing the families -- after months of testimony from families, social media executives and influencers.
Laure Miller (Ensemble pour la République) et Arthur Delaporte (Socialistes) ont présenté les conclusions de la commission d'enquête sur TikTok, lors d'une conférence de presse à l'Assemblée nationale, ce jeudi 11 septembre.
After federal law enforcement officials said they conducted a raid at a Georgia battery plant that they called the "largest single-site enforcement operation in the history of Homeland Security Investigations," over 300 South Korean migrants have been released from U.S. custody.
According to the Yonhap News Agency, the migrants will board a plane and fly back to South Korea on Thursday, nearly a week after being detained. The operation took place at a Hyundai plant in Bryan County, Georgia. Officials said that 475 people — mostly South Korean nationals — were apprehended. Some of those present had entered the U.S. illegally, overstayed their visas, or did not have proper work permits.
More than 300 South Korean migrants were released after a record Homeland Security raid at a Georgia Hyundai plant. Most will return home nearly a week after being detained.
Florida on Tuesday started bringing immigrant detainees to the second migrant detention center the state has established this summer.
About 115 people are being held at the north Florida facility now, according to a Fox News clip shared by a spokesperson for the Florida Division of Emergency Management.
The spokesperson did not answer whether there have been any deportation flights out of the nearby Lake City airport.
The Fox News clip shows rows of bunk beds with twin-sized green mattresses in one room.
The north Florida detention center can hold about 1,300 people, according to the governor’s office.

Seriously, did anyone else notice when they checked the stock market this morning that EVERY index is up by at least 65 points? My portfolio jumped nearly 3% today.

The last thing I ever thought I would do would be to write more than a few sentences about someone like Charlie Kirk. I have always found him to be a particularly loathsome coward. He had no values, he promoted nothing of real world worth, he helped no one, and he never provided comfort or support especially during times of crisis. He spent his career using rhetorical tricks to avoid good faith conversations, spreading hateful rhetoric, and incompetently defending Republican orthodoxy any time it was obvious even to young conservatives that Republicans were acting against their interests. His last major political move was to encourage his audience to trust the government regarding the Epstein files. There is nothing left of his legacy but his career of petty contempt and apologetics for heinous actions. No one will miss him. He is highly replaceable in all facets and his children have been saved from years of abuse, neglect, and exploitation which having such a miserable person as a father had doomed them to.
Kirk has never been as important as he has been during the last two days. He is now dominating the headlines of the world’s major newspapers. This is to contrast how unimportant he has been for over a decade. He was originally propped up by the Koch brothers as the dominant anti-intellectual voice of the youth, the face of the organization “Turning Point USA.” The purpose of this organization was(is?) to convince college students that intellectual pursuits were worthless because common sense conservatism already had all answers. This was unconvincing to college students but may have encouraged many impressionable young teenagers to avoid critical thinking and embrace conservative orthodoxy. This was the peak of his career. He aged out of his role almost immediately and has been haunting the background of conservative media ever since. He was no longer a collegiate peer offering an alternative to knowledge, but an aging idiot yelling at kids.
His recent Jubliee “debate” is emblematic of his recent status. For the duration of the video, young people make a fool of him one after another while his lack of any kind of wit, charm, or insight leaves him defenseless. His wordplay fails, his points easily dismantled, and his celebration of his own self-perceived victories are met with open disgust. Kirk was powerless and had lost any influence that he once had. He was on the way out.
On September 10, 2025, a sniper used a high-powered rifle to cleanly dispatch Charlie Kirk at an estimated distance of 200 yards before escaping without a trace. For those unfamiliar with firearms it is extraordinarily difficult to hit a person-sized target at all from this distance, and the shot was an extremely precise killing shot. In my opinion it is extremely unlikely that this shooting was anything but the act of a highly trained individual with extensive resources. I do not believe that this was a sudden act of passion, and I do believe it was a planned and coordinated strike.
Why kill Charlie Kirk? Kirk was a conservative D-lister with no power and waning influence. While alive, he was a political liability and go-to punching bag for political commentators. I can’t think of any reason a terrorist group or actor with the skill and resources they had at their disposal would pick Kirk as a target rather than almost anyone else whose death may have set back Trump’s movement. It is somewhat possible that a skilled veteran was personally offended by something Kirk said or did and used their skills to take revenge, but I’ve not seen this amount of professionalism and precision attached to a motive of this nature before.
Donald Trump and Nancy Mace have claimed that this was an assassination performed by agents of the Democrat Party. I can’t think of any way that this would benefit the Democrats. However, I can think of who may believe this obvious lie. I was raised a conservative so I understand that a conservative might believe the egghead democrats would want to kill a simple truth-teller to shut him up and stop him from spreading common sense. The belief that enemies of conservatives are motivated by this is conservative orthodoxy which all conservatives are required to believe as proof of their group membership. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this statement makes sense only to orthodox conservatives and to no one else.
Today is September 11th and the headlines are dominated by Kirk’s shooting and Republican vows for vengeance. It appears that this killing has massively supported Trump’s current agenda by providing another justification to bring the military down on US citizens to protect state power. Whether it is a coincidence or not, Trump and only Trump has benefited from this killing. Considering how quickly momentous events have been forgotten in the last several months, I’m hoping this push to make Kirk an angelic martyr of the Trump movement is forgotten as quickly and Kirk resumes his rightful place in obscurity.

Non ne avevo minimamente voglia, ma stamattina ho dovuto necessariamente attivare la versione meno ortodossa dei miei poteri di ragnoe creare una fottutissima crisalide… sopra all’alimentatore del WiiU, che si rifiutava di funzionare. Infatti — e non ne ho mai parlato direttamente, ma menzionai la cosa un annetto fa di corsa parlando di altro — da un po’ di tempo il cavo è rotto nel punto dell’uscita del trasformatore, con la copertura di gomma del cavo che si è abbastanza staccata da quel solito bitorzolo che servirebbe proprio a evitare rotture di questo tipo, che in questo caso però l’ha favorita, ironicamente. 😓 Io in realtà pensavo di avere da un annetto o due questo problema… e invece, cercando al volo tra gli archivi dello spacc, mi sono accorta che già nel 2021 avevo notato questo fatto di merda…t.me/SpaccInc/305… quindi, probabilmente, sarà da almeno 5 anni che il cavo è rotto così. Non me ne sono mai preoccupata, perché quel rame che si intravede è girato tutto attorno al centro, quindi sarà solo la massa, mentre il positivo sarà ancora isolato bene dentro (che modo di merda di strutturare un cavo, però), e comunque lì ci passa solo corrente continua a 75 V, dunque non si muore…peccato che stamattina però la console non si accendesse proprio, dopo che settimane fa ho spostato l’alimentatore. 🙊
Girando un pochino ‘sto blocco di merda, alla fine ha funzionato, però a questo punto è chiaro che in questo stato le cose non potessero che peggiorare. Quindi, considerato che sono tirchia, che comunque questo alimentatore ufficiale Nintendo non si vende (almeno, non più), che eviterei a prescindere alimentatori cinesi, e che non so saldare (non che in questo caso si possa fare, si è rotto a merda e il cavo in sé è comunque strambo)… Per questa riparazione hardware ho preso, da brava sviluppatrice software, la colla a caldo e, a costo della suddetta crisalide ed una decina di minuti spesi per costruirla bene, ora l’alimentatore sembra fungere alla più completa perfezione, senza smettere di erogare energia al minimo giramento come prima. 😳🎊 Situazione estremamente scomoda per fare tutto ciò, comunque, perché per testare temporaneamente una cosa sulla console (dovevo vedere altro, non mi aspettavo mica non si accendesse per il filo rotto…) mi sono trovata ad appoggiare lo scatolotto sotto la scrivania, e poi quando ho trovato la posizione di funzionamento giustamente non ho potuto più muoverlo, finché non l’avessi incollato… Quindi, con lo scotch l’ho tenuto fermo sul case del PC (lì si trovava in quel momento, ops), l’ho staccato un attimo dalla ciabatta, ho fatto la prima passata di colla, l’ho riattaccato e verificato che funzionasse, e poi ho sparato il resto della colla con la console accesa per assicurarmi fosse tutto a posto. E si, ora lato alimentazione la console è a posto, ma… il suo schifo lo fa comunque, perché mi legge la mio microSD solo quando vuole lei; ma questo è uno spacc per un’altra volta. Tanto, comunque, tempo per il gaming non ci sta, pazienza. 👻

An Israeli reserve soldier who took part in the genocide in Gaza committed suicide on Tuesday in his apartment in the central Israeli city of Rehovot, on the very day of his wedding, according to the Hebrew daily Maariv.
The paper reported that the 31-year-old soldier was scheduled to be married that evening but was found dead in his home after taking his own life. Ambulance crews arriving at the scene pronounced him dead, and police said circumstances remain under investigation.
The incident adds to what Israeli media have described as an alarming rise in suicides among army personnel, especially reservists, since October 2023, when Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza.
Running a small business offers certain advantages that are not gained in large businesses or established corporations.
The professional patterns of people in this technological era, 2025, are changing a lot. In olden days, most people worked for daily wages, some people did business, and some others went for a traditional 9-to-5 job. In the past few years, most people chose 9-to-5 jobs, and some others chose to do business and daily work. But in today’s digitalized world, a major income source for most people has become a small business.
Not everyone starts a business with the motive of developing a business empire. But everyone aims at developing their business and remaining competitive in the business market. Starting a small business has become a mandatory factor for most people. It is a good point to hear. Being a small business owner has its own advantages as well as disadvantages. Let’s explore it in this blog.
What is a Small Business?
A small business is a work process that is owned by a single person and operates with fewer employees. The income generated here will be low when compared with that of the large-scale businesses. Small businesses usually focus on selling their products and services in local areas rather than doing so internationally.
In a small business, separate employees will not be allocated to do each activity. For example, the small business owner themselves may do the marketing work, invoicing process, accounting process, employee management, and sometimes even the production process.
Key Advantages of Small Business
1. Small Business Offers Customized Solutions
Consider an example. You are going to a large clothing shop to purchase a kurta set. You choose a dress, but you like to make small alterations in its design. But the customization facility is not offered at that shop. At the same time, you approach a small boutique and ask for the same alteration to the kurta set. Immediate alterations are made there as per the request. So, customized solutions can be offered by small businesses.
2. Appreciations for the Work Completed
The number of clients approaching the small business may be fewer, but the feedback shared by each of them gives more strength and energy to continue the business. But large businesses have a huge number of clients, and the appreciations given to them may not have as much effect.
3. Flexibility in Invoicing
Some large businesses' invoicing process will be like travelling through a rocky mountain. They can’t customize their invoices and steadily follow a single rule for the invoicing process. But small businesses can customize their invoices, set their own terms and conditions, etc., using the online invoicing software for small businesses.
4. Focused Precisions
Large businesses usually deal with multiple income streams. So, their focus would be on every field because their aim would be to expand the business even further. But small businesses will have one- or two-income streams, majorly one. So, their focus will be on a single path. So that excellent outcomes can be generated from them.
5. Client Relationship
The factor that takes place mostly in small businesses and rarely in large businesses is the relationship between the clients and the business. As the client’s expectations are clearly communicated and they are fulfilled by the small business, and engaging communication is maintained, a strong relationship will be maintained between the business and the clients.
6. Solo Decision-Making
If you’re running a small business, you’re the boss here, and you can make all the decisions regarding your business. Unlike large businesses, you don’t need to get approval from higher-level authorities for any changes, you don’t need to conduct multiple meetings to decide, etc. You, as a solo person, can make all the decisions.
Running a small business has numerous advantages, but if it does not operate well, it creates a chance to face failure also. Proper management is crucial here to succeed. If you wish to generate revenue, start a small business and become an independent person.
Jerry Seinfeld likened the Free Palestine movement to the Ku Klux Klan — even saying those who use the phrase "Free Palestine" are worse than the white supremacist group — at a student event at Duke University meant to honor hostages who are being held in Gaza.
Seinfeld spoke at the school in Durham, North Carolina, to introduce a former Israeli hostage, Omer Shem Tov, when he made the remarks, according to the university's student newspaper, The Duke Chronicle. He reportedly started by saying, in reference to the Free Palestine activist movement, "Just say you don’t like Jews."
“By saying 'Free Palestine,' you’re not admitting what you really think. So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ Okay, that’s honest,'" the Chronicle reported Seinfeld said.

But small businesses will have one- or two-income streams, majorly one. So, their focus will be on a single path. So that excellent outcomes can be generated from them.
5. Client Relationship
The factor that takes place mostly in small businesses and rarely in large businesses is the relationship between the clients and the business. As the client’s expectations are clearly communicated and they are fulfilled by the small business, and engaging communication is maintained, a strong relationship will be maintained between the business and the clients.
6. Solo Decision-Making
If you’re running a small business, you’re the boss here, and you can make all the decisions regarding your business. Unlike large businesses, you don’t need to get approval from higher-level authorities for any changes, you don’t need to conduct multiple meetings to decide, etc. You, as a solo person, can make all the decisions.
Running a small business has numerous advantages, but if it does not operate well, it creates a chance to face failure also. Proper management is crucial here to succeed. If you wish to generate revenue, start a small business and become an independent person.

Helena Prestes rompe il silenzio sul legame con Javier Martinez, nato sotto i riflettori del Grande Fratello, e racconta il nuovo capitolo che stanno vivendo insieme. La modella brasiliana, già nota per la sua partecipazione al famoso reality di Canale 5, ha deciso di rispondere apertamente alle critiche e alle curiosità ricevute sui social, chiarendo lo stato attuale della loro vita di coppia.
La storia d’amore tra** Helena e Javier****, due dei volti più seguiti dell’ultima edizione guidata da **Alfonso Signorini, ha continuato a evolversi lontano dalle telecamere. Helena ha scelto di trasferirsi a Terni, in Umbria, per costruire un futuro al fianco del pallavolista argentino, stabilitosi lì per motivi professionali. Una decisione significativa che riflette il desiderio comune di rafforzare la loro relazione, nonostante le polemiche che spesso li hanno accompagnati.
La coppia ha infatti ricevuto critiche, principalmente legate alla loro scarsa presenza sui social, suscitando dubbi tra alcuni fan riguardo alla solidità del rapporto. Molti hanno ipotizzato tensioni o crisi, alimentate dall’apparente distacco digitale. Helena ha quindi deciso di intervenire per difendere la loro storia e sottolineare l'importanza di preservare momenti di privacy nella vita reale.
Ha dichiarato: essere felice e addolorata per chi crea supposizioni o polemiche inutili. Per rassicurare chi si chiede come stiano le cose tra loro, ha spiegato che stanno bene e sono soddisfatti della nuova fase che stanno affrontando insieme. Ribadendo che non tutto gira intorno ai social, ha parlato delle attività quotidiane che riempiono le loro giornate: lavoro, sistemazione della casa e momenti di tranquillità. Ha inoltre invitato i fan a fidarsi e accettare il fatto che, lontano dalle dinamiche del Grande Fratello, c’è una realtà più concreta da vivere.
Queste parole trasmettono una sensazione di serenità e hanno suggerito che la coppia è determinata a costruire qualcosa di stabile e duraturo in un contesto meno mediatico. Helena e Javier sembrano affrontare con impegno i cambiamenti e le sfide di questa nuova fase della loro vita insieme, lasciandosi alle spalle l’incessante attenzione dei riflettori del reality.
Running a small business offers certain advantages that are not gained in large businesses or established corporations.
The professional patterns of people in this technological era, 2025, are changing a lot. In olden days, most people worked for daily wages, some people did business, and some others went for a traditional 9-to-5 job. In the past few years, most people chose 9-to-5 jobs, and some others chose to do business and daily work. But in today’s digitalized world, a major income source for most people has become a small business.
Not everyone starts a business with the motive of developing a business empire. But everyone aims at developing their business and remaining competitive in the business market. Starting a small business has become a mandatory factor for most people. It is a good point to hear. Being a small business owner has its own advantages as well as disadvantages. Let’s explore it in this blog.
What is a Small Business?
A small business is a work process that is owned by a single person and operates with fewer employees. The income generated here will be low when compared with that of the large-scale businesses. Small businesses usually focus on selling their products and services in local areas rather than doing so internationally.
In a small business, separate employees will not be allocated to do each activity. For example, the small business owner themselves may do the marketing work, invoicing process, accounting process, employee management, and sometimes even the production process.
Key Advantages of Small Business
1. Small Business Offers Customized Solutions
Consider an example. You are going to a large clothing shop to purchase a kurta set. You choose a dress, but you like to make small alterations in its design. But the customization facility is not offered at that shop. At the same time, you approach a small boutique and ask for the same alteration to the kurta set. Immediate alterations are made there as per the request. So, customized solutions can be offered by small businesses.
2. Appreciations for the Work Completed
The number of clients approaching the small business may be fewer, but the feedback shared by each of them gives more strength and energy to continue the business. But large businesses have a huge number of clients, and the appreciations given to them may not have as much effect.
3. Flexibility in Invoicing
Some large businesses' invoicing process will be like travelling through a rocky mountain. They can’t customize their invoices and steadily follow a single rule for the invoicing process. But small businesses can customize their invoices, set their own terms and conditions, etc., using the online invoicing software for small businesses.
4. Focused Precisions
Large businesses usually deal with multiple income streams. So, their focus would be on every field because their aim would be to expand the business even further. But small businesses will have one- or two-income streams, majorly one. So, their focus will be on a single path. So that excellent outcomes can be generated from them.

In un mondo sommerso da informazioni sulla salute e il benessere, come puoi distinguere la vera scienza dalle fake news? Sentiamo spesso parlare di "studi scientifici", ma non tutti sono uguali. In questo articolo, ti sveliamo gli elementi chiave che rendono uno studio credibile: dal numero di partecipanti al metodo "doppio cieco", fino alla cruciale assenza di conflitti di interesse. Impara a fare le domande giuste e a leggere tra le righe per proteggerti da chi usa la scienza per i propri scopi. Qual è l'ultima "notizia scientifica" che ti ha fatto dubitare?

TL;DR: Disagree with ideas without disrespecting people. Bring receipts. Leave each other with dignity. No pile-ons. No mobs. No manufactured outrage.
I want this community to be a refuge from outrage culture. Most gaming spaces reward dunks over dialogue. We will not. We can be blunt without being cruel. We can be funny without punching down. We can be passionate without turning every thread into a bonfire.
What civility is
Here are ten concrete behaviors we value. Each one is an action you can take right now.
Kindness in delivery Speak to people the way you want to be spoken to. Direct is fine. Cruel is not.
Assume good faith Start with the idea that the other person is trying. Ask a clarifying question before you accuse.
Critique ideas, not people Target the claim, the code, the test, the footage, the source. Never the person who posted it.
Bring specifics If you disagree, show your settings, hardware, OS, repro steps, or a timestamped clip. Replace vibes with details.
Be flexible It is fine to revise, retract, or say you were wrong. That is strength here.
Consider other contexts Different rigs and budgets change outcomes. State your constraints and read theirs.
Encourage contribution If someone is new or unsure, help them level up. Suggest edits. Share links. Invite better.
De-escalate If heat rises, slow down. Ask what would resolve it. Move from public to DM when helpful. Step away if needed.
Respect boundaries No demands for personal info. No thread-jacking DMs. Stop when someone says stop.
Stay on topic Keep replies aimed at the subject of the thread. Start a new post if you want a different debate.
What civility is not
These are behaviors that undermine discussion. Ten clear no-gos.
Tone policing Dismissing the content of a message because you dislike the way it was said. Engage the point. Do not ignore it because the tone is blunt, frustrated, or emotional.
Gaslighting Denying clear words or lived experience to score a point. If someone says a remark felt hostile, listen first.
Dogpiling A crowd repeating the same dunk at one person. Even if each post is mild, the effect is harassment.
Gatekeeping Purity tests. Real fan nonsense. Credential checks to join a conversation.
Vote brigading Coordinating upvotes or downvotes on or off site. Let posts rise or fall on their own.
Personal attacks Insults, name-calling, questioning motives by default. Compare ideas, not worth as a human.
Bad-faith tactics Straw-manning, quote-mining, sealioning, or moving goalposts. Ask fair questions and accept fair answers.
Identity attacks Slurs, dehumanizing language, or targeting someone’s identity. Zero tolerance.
Doxxing or privacy violations Sharing private info, hints, or screenshots from private spaces without consent.
Baiting and derailments Low-effort provocations, meta drama, and off-topic gotchas that drown the original subject.
Clear examples
Green examples • “Your benchmark misses shader cache. Here are my steps and numbers.” • “This reads like marketing. Can you add specifics and sources” • “Title says native Linux. Store page says Proton. Can we update the title for accuracy” • “I could not repro the stutter on 580. Pop!_OS, 32 GB RAM, Nvidia 535, Proton GE 9-10.”
Yellow examples Context matters. Delivery matters. • Sarcasm used once to defuse tension • A single spicy joke aimed at a trend or corporation • Firm mod note that asks for edits
Red examples • “You sound like an AI/ad copy.” • “Touch grass.” • “Everyone downvote this clown.” • “Real gamers do not play on easy.” • “You always lie.”
How to disagree well
Start with a steelman: “If I am reading you right, your claim is…”
State your setup and constraints. OS, GPU, resolution, controller.
Propose a path forward. “If the goal is 60 on mid-range, here is what worked for me.”
Humor, snark, and heat
Jokes are welcome. Keep the punchline pointed at ideas, systems, hype cycles, and corporate nonsense. Do not make your fellow members the target. Roast the console war, not the poster.
Tone feedback without tone policing
You can ask for clearer delivery without erasing content. • Good: “I want to engage your point. The sarcasm is making it hard to parse. Can you restate the claim” • Bad: “Your tone is rude, so I will ignore your argument.”
Bystanders: how to help
• Add signal. Share data that resolves the dispute. • Defuse. “What would fix this for you” • Report harassment instead of joining it. • Offer quiet support in DM if someone is getting piled on. • If you have nothing to add, keep scrolling. Restraint is a contribution too.
Mod approach
We weigh intent and impact. Patterns matter more than one hot moment.
Common actions • Gentle nudge in-thread • DM asking for an edit or clarification • Remove a comment or prune a branch of replies • Lock a thread that is melting down • Limited time-outs for repeat issues • Bans for clear malice or refusal to course-correct
Not every violation is a ban. Not every heated moment gets a lock. We choose the lightest action that protects people and lets good discussion continue.
Appeals
Think we got it wrong • DM a mod with links and a short explanation • Add context we might have missed • If we missed, we fix. Reversals happen
Quick self-check before you post
Am I attacking the idea instead of the person
Did I include enough detail to be useful
Would I say this the same way face to face
Will this add light or only heat
If I am wrong, can I edit without ego
FAQ
Can I be blunt Yes. Be clear without being cruel.
Can I swear Yes. Do not weaponize it at people.
Can I call something low effort Critique the post, not the poster. “This needs sources” beats “You are lazy.”
Is satire allowed Yes, if the butt of the joke is an idea or a trend, not a member.
What about off-site drama Do not import it here. Summarize only what is needed to discuss the topic itself.
Can I compare someone to an AI No. That is dismissive and dehumanizing. Explain the problem with the content instead.
In short
Civility is our floor, not our ceiling. We are here to build useful threads, share knowledge, and enjoy games together. If behavior turns toxic, it is a Rule #1 issue. We will act. If you go too hard, own it and adjust. That is how we keep this place better than the average gaming mud pit.

I set up ActivityPub.Space because I wanted to have one central place to catch-up, consume, and distribute content about ActivityPub. Forums are intensely topical, and the ability to federate with the open social web allows one to skip the hardest part of starting a forum: building the community.
At the same time, existing fediverse software (the most popular being Mastodon, a microblogging UI) tends to act more like a window to a digital public square of sorts, where anything and everything can be discussed. This is wonderful in many ways, but contrary to how forums themselves are run.
We're at a point where we don't really know what the scale of the ActivityPub developer community is. we're fractured between multiple channels: mailing lists, W3C groups, Matrix channels, forums, blog posts, etc., but the one thing that unites all ActivityPub developers is that we are all on the fediverse. It simply doesn't make sense to conduct our conversations elsewhere!
Additionally, I wanted to combat the ephemeral nature of microblogging. A decade or more of corporatized social media has taught us to just shout our hot takes out into the universe, and optimize for engagement. A forum does the opposite — you submit your content for considerate discussion and a simpler, more honest form of engagement. Your contributions stay here accessible to history and generations (hopefully) to come, and aren't scattered to the winds the moment it falls off the front page feed.
