PoliciesForAll

!policiesforall@piefed.zip

Welcome to PoliciesForAll, a community for presenting and discussing policies that can be applied broadly by anyone, anywhere, and at any level. The policies should be designed to reduce corruption, improve bottom-up power, add/improve services, reduce financial waste, etc.

“Any arrangement that doesn’t account for bad actors, isn’t a system, it’s a dream.”

Community Rules:

1. (C1) Be helpful. Collaboration and Constructive Criticism are welcome. Being an asshole is not.
2. (C2) Try to use “feeling” language. Ex. ‘I feel that this proposal will have issues with …’, ‘My understanding of the situation is …’. I find it cuts out a lot of drama and misunderstandings.
3. (C3) Policies should aim to be applicable to any group / city / location in the world.
4. (C4) Avoid AI. If you feel strongly enough about a proposal, you should be willing to spend the time to write it up.
5. (C5) Avoid discussing politicians or political active individuals (ex. Trump, Musk). There are other communities for that.
6. (C6) Discussion of political theory is acceptable, as long as it is respectful.
7. (C7) If the post is an link, please provide some context / summary / your thoughts about it.
8. (C8) Links to articles should contain the original article title. Minor edits in [square brackets] for clarity/to reduce clickbait are likely fine.
9. (C9) Provide credit / sources to others whenever possible.10 (C10) Label posts, if possible. Ex. [Idea] (solution in search of a problem), [Policy] (proposed solution to a problem), [Inspiration] (ex. an article), [Discussion], [Problem] (identified problem needing a solution).
