Reddit Inc’s core values:

1. Remember the human

   • Be authentic, passionate, and empathetic.
   • Treat others as you would in person, and remember we all make mistakes.
   • Champion diversity.
   • Default to transparency, and when you can’t be transparent, be honest.

2. Give people voices

   • Create a safe space to encourage participation.
   • Embrace diversity of viewpoints.
   • Allow freedom of expression.
   • Be stewards, not dictators. The community owns itself.

3. Respect anonymity and privacy

   • You are not required to share more than you are comfortable with.
   • Having information doesn't give you a license to use it.
   • Allow people to be as anonymous as they choose, including ourselves.
   • Value the candor afforded by anonymity.

4. Embrace experimentation

   • Don't let "that's the way it's always been done" be a reason.
   • Seek new ways to be better.
   • Be willing to try new things and fail.
   • But remember wheels don't always need reinventing.

5. Make deliberate decisions

   • Make all decisions within the framework of larger goals.
   • It's better to make an unpopular, deliberate decision than to make a consensus decision on a whim.
   • Consciously explore options and impacts of potential paths.
   • Voice disagreement; acknowledge that dissension is okay.

6. Be doers

   • Turn ideas into actions and get things done.
   • Don't be paralyzed by the status quo.
   • Find the balance between perfection and progress.
   • Build for the future and leave things better than you found them.

7. The spirit of Lambeosaurus embiggens us all

   • Work is better when you're having fun.
   • Don't take ourselves too seriously.
   • Celebrate the good: recognize successes and reward accomplishments.
   • There must be four subpoints to each value.
