- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Thought I had it all figured out a year ago: had a condo, had pets, had consistent hobbies, and even close to having a decent friend group... crashed down and now I'm trying to "start fresh" again in a new country for less than half a year, no thanks to certain things that happened in the US
Not a completely fresh start since my career is still progressing as usual (one of the few benefits of having a PhD...), but everything else is a reset for me. Heck I went back to living in a "student/intern special" studio again, my pets are now under the custody of my parents, and I have to learn new language(s) (plural because of reasons) from scratch
Still I'm trying the best. I'm quick at adapting so I'm hoping that things can be sorted out in a year or so
