Hello! Lyra encourages respect for language by providing editing tools, and display tools, that respect language. For instance, we never truncate comments (like Facebook). We offer users the chance to write a nicely formatted message rather than a "poke" or emoticon. We use paragraphs (an exquisitely tuned tool for guiding the eye across a section of text, evolved over several hundred years.

We are basically saying: your words are important, and we won't hide them.

Another massively important way in which we value language is that we don't build tools for the viral spreading of clickbait into our platform.

Moderation is a separate issue from whether you respect language or not. Lyra is carefully designed to be harrassment-proof without the need for moderation. We do this by prioritising people rather than online spaces (like forums or subreddits).
