No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.

Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

It continues to upset me that we moved away from removable batteries, otherwise I could have just two batteries and a battery charger. No need to plug your phone in for 4 hours a day, just swap the battery out when it's low, job done. Going on a long trip? Charge both batteries and bring 'em. Battery sucks? Just change it! Mobile power banks? Not necessary, my battery is that. Brittle phone charge cables I constantly lose? No need. Three kinds of phone chargers for USB, wall outlet, and car? Nah, just charge my battery at a wall whenever.
I am equally upset by companies moving away from the golden ratio. Although if you want a paradigm where everyone's always scrolling and never reading, that's the way to do it.
