This is a place for Free Pressers to meet each other—not just read alongside each other. The goals are simple: smart conversation, real connection, and a community that feels like it exists off the internet—even when it doesn't.
- Debate ideas, not people.
- Criticism is welcome—encouraged, even. But keep it aimed at arguments, not identities.
- Don't be a jerk. (Healthy disagreement: yes. Making the place miserable: no.)
- Don't spam or self-promote. If everything you post is about your business, newsletter, or project, we'll remove it.
- Avoid profanities.
- No harassment, threats, or pile-ons. (Again, no jerks.)
- Post in the right place. We've created spaces so conversations don't get lost. Use them. We'll add more as needed.
- A good post gives people something to respond to—an idea, a question, a perspective, or a recommendation worth trusting.
- Update your profile on Substack, so you seem more human! Add a photo, real first name, and something to your bio.
We moderate based on behavior—not opinions. If something crosses the line, we may:
- Remove a post
- Issue a warning
- Suspend access
- Remove a poster from the Forum
Questions? Send them to: forum@thefp.com
Now go make your first post.
Think for yourself—not by yourself.
