1. No toxic positivity. - We're not here to pretend everything is fine. Burnout is real. Inconsistency is real. Overwhelm is real. If you're struggling, say it. If you're calling someone out for toxic hustle culture, we've got your back. But if you're here to sell "you just need to believe harder" energy, this isn't the place for you.
2. No spam or self-promotion. - Share what you're building, absolutely. Celebrate wins, yes. But this isn't a billboard. If you're posting links to sell courses, services, or "opportunities" every other day, we'll have to remove you. There's a line between sharing and selling. Stay on the right side of it.
3. Keep it real, keep it constructive. - Honest feedback is welcome. Brutal honesty without care is not. You can tell someone their approach isn't working without making them feel like garbage. That's the bar.
4. What's shared here, stays here. - If someone opens up about their struggle, their strategy, their numbers; don't screenshot it and blast it on Instagram. This is a trust space.
5. No gatekeeping or hierarchy. - You're not "more advanced" just because you've been here longer or you have a bigger audience. A founder with 2K followers and a creator with 200K followers both need rhythm. Treat everyone like their work matters.
6. Disagree, don't dismiss. - Different approaches work for different people. If someone's strategy doesn't match yours, that's fine. But "that'll never work" isn't a discussion; it's dismissal. We're here to expand options, not shrink them.
