FOC/NSA

Acronym: "Free Of Charge, No Strings Attached". Refers to a service that is provided for free and on no explicit conditions, typically in an interpersonal context.

When I was bedridden recovering from my abdominal surgery, my neighbors Natalie and her husband Jacob offered to help handle house chores and cook meals for me. It was all offered FOC/NSA too! I'm glad there's still some kindness left in this world.

"Apparently, he was using his charity as a cover-up for his hacking endeavors. He got busted a few months ago in a massive counter-hacking operation and is now in jail. Good fucking riddance."

UrbanDictionary

An online open-source dictionary for researching internet semantics and online sociology. Users can create accounts and post definitions for free and with minimal content filtering policies to stop them, which offers a significant insight into the sociopolitical climate of social media.

I've cited multiple UrbanDictionary entries in my recent article on internet sociology. You'd be surprised at how clear a picture you can get of it through a resource as simple as this one.

Hyperinclusion

Excessive openness of a group in fear of cultural exclusivity. Often flounders in the face of questions regarding cultural identity, and acts as a political caveat to prevent the policing of deleterious behaviors. (cf. Gatekeeping)

Coping with severe discrimination online, most furries and the online communities they manage are rife with policies of hyperinclusion. They shut down any semblance of 'gatekeeping' in an effort to make their communities as wholesome as possible. Aside from the cultural dilution that naturally occurs as of a result of this sort of philosophy, this can add a thick layer of arguably superfluous red tape to many instances of judicial action, resulting in sluggish moderator action and minor server corruption.
