Short description
Committed to truth in discourse.
Long description
This is an instance for casually participating in sometimes-serious discourse with a commitment to truth and rigor. If you state a controversial claim or opinion, expect to back it up with research.

That said, this is the Internet, so don't take everything too seriously and have a good time. Memes are welcome.

This instance does NOT federate with Threads.net or BlueSky and never will.
