A note from Anthony
I noticed that this community is very strict about keeping things factual and focused. The rule against “Keine Low-Effort / Rage-bait Beiträge” makes it clear that they want serious discussion. If you plan to promote anything, the requirement to contact the mods beforehand is the most important thing to remember.
