Write in a way that is inclusive and respectful to everybody. For example, avoid discriminatory (ableistic) terms like "retard" or "gimp", anti-queer language like using "gay" meaning "bad", racist terms like "blacklist" (use "blocklist" instead, or refer to "blocked users", "blocked domains", etc.) or "master" (which has slavery connotations for some people) for software branches. Facultative but highly appreciated: add your gender/pronoun(s) in your profile even if you are not transgender, it will be interpreted as a sign of acceptance.
