Some cool norms IMHO:
- extend charity, don't assume malice
- tell the truth
- be courageous
- be humble
- admit your ignorance
- prefer unanswerable questions over unquestionable answers
- pay attention
- look for falsification, not confirmation
- never be angry by accident

I like the last 3 and "admit your ignorance". They are to varying extents actionable.
"Tell the truth" has some problematic associations from the Archmoron, Kant. I feel it's generally too open-ended.

This tweet could have done with some brewing. I spent a minute or so on it a while back and just rattled them off. But they mostly represent what I admire in others, and in my opinion I would be doing well if people described me in these terms.

Twitter is occasionally great for revealing the inferential gap between [idea you have] -> [tweet] -> [readers].
Yeah, I think that mostly works. I just wouldn't be too concerned about what somebody considers "brave" unless I know their views on it, f'rex.

The others could maybe be useful, but as presented I'm not sure what they require me to do or not.
Hence they don't really function as norms, unless I'm being obtuse today.
