Published rules

You agree to the LURK Terms of Service. By using LURK you agree to first read and stick to our TOS: https://lurk.org/TOS.txt
Help keep sealions at bay! LURK is here for discussions, also the difficult ones. However, for particularly baity topics including cryptocurrency, NFT, Vim/Emacs and ${OUTRAGE_OF_THE_DAY} please use the local-only function to prevent attracting bad faith actors from across the network.
Keep the local timeline accessible and tidy! Local TL is our only truly shared space. Make top-level posts public and subsequent posts in the same thread 'unlisted' unless they are very important or updated at slow pace across time, like a slowly updated research log or slowly built collection.
T2F crossposting is spammy, F2T is praxis! No Twitter-to-Fediverse cross posting.However, feel free to do Fediverse-to-Twitter.
Help avoid hellthreads! If there is a discussion with many participants tagged, and some are no longer answering: Consider untagging them, especially when the discussion veers off in a completely different direction or when participants request you to do so.
Make use of Content Warnings. Mastodon has a strong culture of using those, especially with regards topics such as suicide, self-harm, abuse, mental health and the latest twitter or political outrage. However, they are also useful to for example summarize longer posts.
Help make this space more accessible. Use the available accessibility tools. For instance to provide a summary/description for images. Yes, even for your obscure memes.
Be a kind host. If you make use of your invites to get new people to LURK, you are their point of contact! Show them around, introduce them to others who they might connect with and make sure they feel at home and make other LURKers feel at home as well.
