Introduction to the Liberty Gardeners

The libertygardeners Signal group is for principled, pro-actionary libertarians who want to:

• Increase human “healthspan” to 500+ years

• Establish the first “Switzerland for libertarians”

• Terraform the universe into gardens of Eden

• Increase the power/population of libertarians

To date, Substack has not inserted itself unduly between its writers and their audience.

However, as a proprietary service, that could change at any time.

Similarly, if Google decided to block my emails, it could cut me off from a large portion of my audience.

Therefore, I have created the libertygardeners group as a censorship-resistant discussion space for fans of my writing.

Like a subreddit, the libertygardeners group is open to anyone.

Unlike a subreddit, it will not be spied upon or censored by Reddit (or Facebook, X, or Substack).

Instead, it will be moderated by me (Archer T. Ships) and delegated associates.

Common Topics

Common topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Pronatalism

• Free State Project

• Private free cities

• Alternative architecture and tiny houses

• Anarcho-capitalism

• Robotics and artificial intelligence

• Cryptocurrency

• Psychedelics

• Life extension and cryonics

• Permaculture

• Seasteading

• Self-improvement

• Sex work

• Art and humor

Since I do not necessarily know everyone in the group, please do not post anything you would not want shared with the broader internet.

Rules

1. Follow the Platinum Rule: “Do unto others as they would have you do unto them.” Ask yourself, “Is this message likely to be received as courteous by the recipients?” Rudeness toward users may result in your comments being removed; repeated violations may result in a ban.

2. Be substantive. Respect other people’s time and bandwidth. Make a good-faith effort to answer your own questions before asking the group.

3. Source your facts. If you claim something to be true, please be ready to back it up with a credible source.

4. Address the arguments, not the person. Make a good-faith effort to steelman the arguments of those who disagree with you.

5. Share expert knowledge. When you post a question and receive intelligent answers, share the results with others. If you are an expert, post resources and references about your subject.

6. Avoid logical fallacies.

7. Be forgiving. Assume goodwill and remain courteous even when others are not.
