Addendum. What we don't want.

Since March 2020 it's become quite clear that we should also put in writing what we do not want here.
Can't beat a straightforward statement to prevent misunderstandings from the start, right?

This community is no place for conspiracy theories and/or myths of any kind. There is no room here to spread fear or hate against anyone; we do not allow people, political parties, religious beliefs, ethnicities or countries to be portrayed as evil or inferior. We will not tolerate manipulative talk or action of any kind. This is a bullshit-free zone.

We stand with science, with medicine, with hard-fought-for democracy and for decent human conduct. 

We speak the same language.
​In many languages.

​

It's our way of saying WE CAN. Since 2009.
