Community Guidelines

Guidelines for engaging with the Tiny Home Systems editors and the broader community.

The values we ask readers to bring to comments, questions, and conversations across Tiny Home Systems.

Be useful

The most valuable comments add something, a detail from your own experience, a question that sharpens the article, a counterpoint we missed. We love those.

Be kind

People come to Tiny Home Systems from many backgrounds, apartment dwellers, downsizers, longtime homesteaders, curious students. Disagree with ideas, never with people. We moderate for tone as much as content.

Stay on topic

We try to keep conversations close to the article. If you want to discuss something tangential, the newsletter is a good place to write back and we’ll often pull threads from those notes into future pieces.

No spam, no self-promotion

Comments that exist primarily to promote a product, course, or external service will be removed. If your work is genuinely relevant to an article, mention it briefly with context.

Privacy

Don’t share personal information about other people in comments, including yourself in ways you might regret. Comments are public.

Moderation

All comments are reviewed by a real editor before they appear. We aim to approve thoughtful comments within 48 hours.
