I think hard and fast format rules should come later when you are better able to define what you want based on existing posts. I like the current list of rules you've set forth so far.

Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

MODERATORS
I think these are perfectly reasonable to start. I probably made a mistake and added them to the sidebar last week without consulting anyone, just to get something up there to justify removing a toxic comment thread. Good thinking having an open discussion about it!
Seems good so far. I was very curious if there'd be a rule like #5 lest we become like ba sing se
Good place to start my man!
