Do Not List
A short list of things we never do, with the reason next to each. If something on this list shows up in a draft, the draft gets rewritten.
Content
- No em dashes. AI-tell, voice-guide violation.
- No "fixed rate". Always "guaranteed rate".
- No "best in class", "industry-leading", "revolutionary". Unverifiable puffery.
- No engagement-bait questions. "What's your favourite chain?" is dead.
- No "GM" posts. Or "WAGMI", or any other generic CT chant.
- No price commentary. This is not a token shill operation.
- No competitor takedowns. We reference patterns, never tag, never dunk.
- No leaked AML language in marketing copy. The AML terms exist at the ESP layer; Husher itself never requests KYC. Copy reflects that.
Distribution
- No paid shills. The privacy crowd will out it.
- No incentivised Trustpilot reviews. Their TOS bans it; competitors will report it.
- No "first impression" growth pushes until the house is clean. See feedback memory.
- No vapor partnership announcements. If the partner hasn't cosigned the post, the post doesn't go out.
- No KOL pitches in DMs to Tier 1 contacts until we have visible work to point at.
Product / brand
- No
husher-new.vercel.appURLs leaking anywhere — meta, sitemaps, sharer cards, support copy. - No placeholder testimonials on the site. The tweet wall replaces them.
- No new brand pillars added to "Private. Fast. Non-custodial." Until those are fully landed, three is the cap.
- No "join the resistance" framing. Privacy is normal, not rebellious.
Operations
- No skipping the persona check. Every post is for the Privacy Purist, the CEX Refugee, or the Builder. If it's for none of them, rewrite.
- No publishing without status promotion. A post that's still in "idea" doesn't ship. Move it to scheduled, then posted.
- No deleting posted-status records. Once it's posted, the record stays for history and analytics.
- No DMs from
@HusherExchangeinitiating with strangers. All outbound is via reply or public engagement.
When in doubt
- Run it past the Voice Guide.
- Ask "would this pass the r/Monero sniff test?"
- Ask "would this read well as a screenshot on monero.observer?"
- If the answer to either is no, rewrite.
