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.
