All 6 rules of r/rust
- Observe our code of conduct
Strive to treat others with respect, patience, kindness, and empathy. We observe [the Rust Project Code of Conduct](https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/code-of-conduct). [Details](https://reddit.com/r/rust/wiki/rules#wiki_1._observe_our_code_of_conduct) - Submissions must be on-topic
Posts must reference Rust or relate to things using Rust. For content that does not, use a text post to explain its relevance. Post titles should include useful context. For Rust questions, use the stickied Q&A thread. Arts-and-crafts posts are permitted [on weekends](https://mrmonday.github.io/craft-time/). No meta posts; [message the mods](https://reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/rust) instead. [Details](https://reddit.com/r/rust/wiki/rules#wiki_2._submissions_must_be_on-topic) - Constructive criticism only
Criticism is encouraged, though it must be constructive, useful and actionable. Avoid posting links to web pages which allow commenting, such as Twitter, or Github projects/issues when criticizing them. Please [create a read-only mirror](https://archive.org/web/) and link that instead. [Details](https://reddit.com/r/rust/wiki/rules#wiki_3._constructive_criticism_only) - Keep things in perspective
A programming language is rarely worth getting worked up over. No zealotry or fanaticism. Be charitable in intent. Err on the side of giving others the benefit of the doubt. [Details](https://reddit.com/r/rust/wiki/rules#wiki_4._keep_things_in_perspective) - No endless re-litigation
Avoid re-treading topics that have been long-settled or utterly exhausted. Avoid bikeshedding. This is not an official Rust forum, and cannot fulfill feature requests. Use the official venues for that. [Details](https://reddit.com/r/rust/wiki/rules#wiki_5._no_endless_re-litigation) - No low-effort content
No memes, image macros, etc. No slop, whether automatically generated or not. Consider the existing content of the subreddit and whether your post fits in. Does it inspire thoughtful discussion? Use text for code or error messages, not screenshots. Submissions appearing to contain AI-generated content may be removed at moderator discretion.
