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 right from the start, don't you agree?

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 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.
