Community Discussion: Rules, Goals, and Other Fun Stuff

[espreite]

Hello! This is the new, shiny-smelling community for discussing srs bsns issues in fakenews fandom. However, aside from it existing with a vague sense of purpose, there's not really a clear idea of what's going on here.

So that is where you (the People) come in. What would everyone like to get out of this community? What sort of rules would we like (I have made some up for the profile, but they are very tentative)? Would anyone like to suggest a layout, or even better, make a pretty header? Anyone want to mod with me? Other thoughts?

One possibility to kick off discussion is to have weekly posts to talk about the week's shows. The logical day for that is Friday, but I'm aware that some people have social lives that might not work best for this, so if anyone has suggestions, share them!

And lastly, advertise this place to anyone who might be interested so we can get a community going!

Yeah, some sort of primer about being a safe space sounds like a good idea. I'm looking through the metafandom bookmark tags for prejudice, safe spaces, and privilege right now, but nothing has jumped out at me as being exactly what's needed. The closest I've found so far is List: Racism 101 which is, as the name suggests, a list of links about racism and privilege and being an ally, and I think a lot of the ideas contained in the linked posts can be applied to many or most -isms.
