The safety of yourself, of others, and of property should have highest priority.
Safety is more important than getting boosts and faves.
Be subtle: leave no evidence you were here.
Brute force is the last resort of the incompetent.
Leave things as you found them or better. Cause no permanent damage while on this instance. If you find something broken, contact an admin.
Do not steal anything; if you must borrow something, leave a note saying when it will be returned and remember to return it.
Do not drop things without a ground crew to make sure no one is underneath.
Shitposts are not graffiti and should not be seen by the general public. Shitposts exhibit one's pride in having had an interesting thought and should be seen only by other fedizens. Keep shitposts small and respect other posters' shitposts.
Never drink and post.
Never post alone. Have someone who can get help in an emergency.
Know your limitations and do not exceed them. If you do not know how to boost a post, send a DM, etc., then learn from someone who knows before trying.
Learn how not to get caught, but if you do get caught, accept gracefully and coöperate fully.
Share your knowledge and experience with other posters.
Above all, exercise common sense.
