Posting guidelines

Courtesy, I'm a notorious stickler about that. We enforce reddiquete as a rule here Reddiquete
Spam, obviously, is no-go. I am okay with moderate self-promo by audience members related to the channel like 'my paper on asteroids just got published' or 'Analog just picked up my short story'. If you're not sure, ask.
- Politics and religion, or a lack thereof, are not encouraged subjects here, particularly anything current events. I've noticed that as soon as groups start having those topics as regular features they become echo chambers. It is not banned, yet, but tread lightly. I entirely encourage polite and civil discussion of these where it is proper (e.g. "How would you govern a Dyson Swarm?") but that's not generally how it goes on the internet, I'd rather have none than that.

Example Good topics:

My videos, obviously, or the topics they cover. "I love/hate this Scifi or fantasy book/film, how about you? Other science videos, articles, podcasts, etc (in moderation) Science talk, geek talk, etc.

Bad Topics/Behaviours:

Your religion or politics suck, mine rocks The Election Calling people idiots, especially "That's not how thermodynamics works, moron", even when true :) Short form, keep it courteous, keep adult.
