# Continuwuity Community Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome to the Continuwuity commuwunity! We're excited to have you here. Continuwuity is a
|
||||
continuation of the conduwuit homeserver, which in turn is a hard-fork of the Conduit homeserver,
|
||||
aimed at making Matrix more accessible and inclusive for everyone.
|
||||
|
||||
This space is dedicated to fostering a positive, supportive, and welcoming environment for everyone.
|
||||
These guidelines apply to all Continuwuity spaces, including our Matrix rooms and any other
|
||||
community channels that reference them. We've written these guidelines to help us all create an
|
||||
environment where everyone feels safe and respected.
|
||||
|
||||
For code and contribution guidelines, please refer to the
|
||||
[Contributor's Covenant](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
|
||||
Below are additional guidelines specific to the Continuwuity community.
|
||||
|
||||
## Our Values and Expected Behaviors
|
||||
|
||||
We strive to create a community based on mutual respect, collaboration, and inclusivity. We expect
|
||||
all members to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Be Respectful and Inclusive**: Treat everyone with respect. We're committed to a community
|
||||
where everyone feels safe, regardless of background, identity, or experience. Discrimination,
|
||||
harassment, or hate speech won't be tolerated. Remember that each person experiences the world
|
||||
differently; share your own perspective and be open to learning about others'.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Be Positive and Constructive**: Engage in discussions constructively and support each other.
|
||||
If you feel angry or frustrated, take a break before participating. Approach disagreements with
|
||||
the goal of understanding, not winning. Focus on the issue, not the person.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Communicate Clearly and Kindly**: Our community includes neurodivergent individuals and those
|
||||
who may not appreciate sarcasm or subtlety. Communicate clearly and kindly. Avoid ambiguity and
|
||||
ensure your messages can be easily understood by all. Avoid placing the burden of education on
|
||||
marginalized groups; please make an effort to look into your questions before asking others for
|
||||
detailed explanations.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Be Open to Improving Inclusivity**: Actively participate in making our community more inclusive.
|
||||
Report behaviour that contradicts these guidelines (see Reporting and Enforcement below) and be
|
||||
open to constructive feedback aimed at improving our community. Understand that discussing
|
||||
negative experiences can be emotionally taxing; focus on the message, not the tone.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Commit to Our Values**: Building an inclusive community requires ongoing effort from everyone.
|
||||
Recognise that addressing bias and discrimination is a continuous process that needs commitment
|
||||
and action from all members.
|
||||
|
||||
## Unacceptable Behaviors
|
||||
|
||||
To ensure everyone feels safe and welcome, the following behaviors are considered unacceptable
|
||||
within the Continuwuity community:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Harassment and Discrimination**: Avoid offensive comments related to background, family status,
|
||||
gender, gender identity or expression, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, native language,
|
||||
age, ability, race and/or ethnicity, caste, national origin, socioeconomic status, religion,
|
||||
geographic location, or any other dimension of diversity. Don't deliberately misgender someone or
|
||||
question the legitimacy of their gender identity.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Violence and Threats**: Do not engage in any form of violence or threats, including inciting
|
||||
violence towards anyone or encouraging self-harm. Posting or threatening to post someone else's
|
||||
personally identifying information ("doxxing") is also forbidden.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Personal Attacks**: Disagreements happen, but they should never turn into personal attacks.
|
||||
Don't insult, demean, or belittle others.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Unwelcome Attention or Contact**: Avoid unwelcome sexual attention, inappropriate physical
|
||||
contact (or simulation thereof), sexualized comments, jokes, or imagery.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Disruption**: Do not engage in sustained disruption of discussions, events, or other
|
||||
community activities.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Bad Faith Actions**: Do not intentionally make false reports or otherwise abuse the reporting
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
This is not an exhaustive list. Any behaviour that makes others feel unsafe or unwelcome may be
|
||||
subject to enforcement action.
|
||||
|
||||
## Matrix Community
|
||||
|
||||
These Community Guidelines apply to the entire
|
||||
[Continuwuity Matrix Space](https://matrix.to/#/#space:continuwuity.org) and its rooms, including:
|
||||
|
||||
### [#continuwuity:continuwuity.org](https://matrix.to/#/#continuwuity:continuwuity.org)
|
||||
|
||||
This room is for support and discussions about Continuwuity. Ask questions, share insights, and help
|
||||
each other out while adhering to these guidelines.
|
||||
|
||||
We ask that this room remain focused on the Continuwuity software specifically: the team are
|
||||
typically happy to engage in conversations about related subjects in the off-topic room.
|
||||
|
||||
### [#offtopic:continuwuity.org](https://matrix.to/#/#offtopic:continuwuity.org)
|
||||
|
||||
For off-topic community conversations about any subject. While this room allows for a wide range of
|
||||
topics, the same guidelines apply. Please keep discussions respectful and inclusive, and avoid
|
||||
divisive or stressful subjects like specific country/world politics unless handled with exceptional
|
||||
care and respect for diverse viewpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
General topics, such as world events, are welcome as long as they follow the guidelines. If a member
|
||||
of the team asks for the conversation to end, please respect their decision.
|
||||
|
||||
### [#dev:continuwuity.org](https://matrix.to/#/#dev:continuwuity.org)
|
||||
|
||||
This room is dedicated to discussing active development of Continuwuity, including ongoing issues or
|
||||
code development. Collaboration here must follow these guidelines, and please consider raising
|
||||
[an issue](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues) on the repository to help
|
||||
track progress.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reporting and Enforcement
|
||||
|
||||
We take these Community Guidelines seriously to protect our community members. If you witness or
|
||||
experience unacceptable behaviour, or have any other concerns, please report it.
|
||||
|
||||
**How to Report:**
|
||||
|
||||
* **Alert Moderators in the Room:** If you feel comfortable doing so, you can address the issue
|
||||
publicly in the relevant room by mentioning the moderation bot, `@rock:continuwuity.org`, which
|
||||
will immediately alert all available moderators.
|
||||
* **Direct Message:** If you're not comfortable raising the issue publicly, please send a direct
|
||||
message (DM) to one of the room moderators.
|
||||
|
||||
Reports will be handled with discretion. We will investigate promptly and thoroughly.
|
||||
|
||||
**Enforcement Actions:**
|
||||
|
||||
Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behaviour is expected to comply immediately. Failure to do so, or
|
||||
engaging in prohibited behaviour, may result in enforcement action. Moderators may take actions they
|
||||
deem appropriate, including but not limited to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Warning**: A direct message or public warning identifying the violation and requesting
|
||||
corrective action.
|
||||
2. **Temporary Mute**: Temporary restriction from participating in discussions for a specified
|
||||
period.
|
||||
3. **Kick or Ban**: Removal from a room (kick) or the entire community space (ban). Egregious or
|
||||
repeated violations may result in an immediate ban. Bans are typically permanent and reviewed
|
||||
only in exceptional circumstances.
|
||||
|
||||
Retaliation against those who report concerns in good faith will not be tolerated and will be
|
||||
subject to the same enforcement actions.
|
||||
|
||||
Together, let's build and maintain a community where everyone feels valued, safe, and respected.

# Continuwuity Community Code of Conduct
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome to the Continuwuity community! We’re excited to have you here. Continuwuity is
|
||||
a hard-fork of the Conduit homeserver, aimed at making Matrix more accessible
|
||||
and inclusive for everyone.
|
||||
|
||||
This space is dedicated to fostering a positive, supportive, and inclusive
|
||||
environment for everyone. This Code of Conduct applies to all Continuwuity spaces,
|
||||
including any further community rooms that reference this CoC. Here are our
|
||||
guidelines to help maintain the welcoming atmosphere that sets Continuwuity apart.
|
||||
|
||||
For the general foundational rules, please refer to the [Contributor's
|
||||
Covenant](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
|
||||
Below are additional guidelines specific to the Continuwuity community.
|
||||
|
||||
## Our Values and Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Respect and Inclusivity**: We are committed to maintaining a community
|
||||
where everyone feels safe and respected. Discrimination, harassment, or hate
|
||||
speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Recognise that each community member
|
||||
experiences the world differently based on their past experiences, background,
|
||||
and identity. Share your own experiences and be open to learning about others'
|
||||
diverse perspectives.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Positivity and Constructiveness**: Engage in constructive discussions and
|
||||
support each other. If you feel angry, negative, or aggressive, take a break
|
||||
until you can participate in a positive and constructive manner. Process intense
|
||||
feelings with a friend or in a private setting before engaging in community
|
||||
conversations to help maintain a supportive and focused environment.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Clarity and Understanding**: Our community includes neurodivergent
|
||||
individuals and those who may not appreciate sarcasm or subtlety. Communicate
|
||||
clearly and kindly, avoiding sarcasm and ensuring your messages are easily
|
||||
understood by all. Additionally, avoid putting the burden of education on
|
||||
marginalized groups by doing your own research before asking for explanations.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Be Open to Inclusivity**: Actively engage in conversations about making our
|
||||
community more inclusive. Report discriminatory behavior to the moderators
|
||||
and be open to constructive feedback that aims to improve our community.
|
||||
Understand that discussing discrimination and negative experiences can be
|
||||
emotionally taxing, so focus on the message rather than critiquing the tone
|
||||
used.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Commit to Inclusivity**: Building an inclusive community requires time,
|
||||
energy, and resources. Recognise that addressing discrimination and bias is
|
||||
an ongoing process that necessitates commitment and action from all community
|
||||
members.
|
||||
|
||||
## Matrix Community
|
||||
|
||||
This Code of Conduct applies to the entire [Continuwuity Matrix
|
||||
Space](https://matrix.to/#/#space:continuwuity.org) and its rooms,
|
||||
including:
|
||||
|
||||
### [#continuwuity:continuwuity.org](https://matrix.to/#/#continuwuity:continuwuity.org)
|
||||
|
||||
This room is for support and discussions about Continuwuity. Ask questions, share
|
||||
insights, and help each other out.
|
||||
|
||||
### [#offtopic:continuwuity.org](https://matrix.to/#/#offtopic:continuwuity.org)
|
||||
|
||||
For off-topic community conversations about any subject. While this room allows
|
||||
for a wide range of topics, the same CoC applies. Keep discussions respectful
|
||||
and inclusive, and avoid divisive subjects like country/world politics. General
|
||||
topics, such as world events, are welcome as long as they follow the CoC.
|
||||
|
||||
### [#dev:continuwuity.org](https://matrix.to/#/#dev:continuwuity.org)
|
||||
|
||||
This room is dedicated to discussing active development of Continuwuity. Posting
|
||||
requires an elevated power level, which can be requested in one of the other
|
||||
rooms. Use this space to collaborate and innovate.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enforcement
|
||||
|
||||
We have a zero-tolerance policy for violations of this Code of Conduct. If
|
||||
someone’s behavior makes you uncomfortable, please report it to the moderators.
|
||||
Actions we may take include:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Warning**: A warning given directly in the room or via a private message
|
||||
from the moderators, identifying the violation and requesting corrective
|
||||
action.
|
||||
2. **Temporary Mute**: Temporary restriction from participating in discussions
|
||||
for a specified period to allow for reflection and cooling off.
|
||||
3. **Kick or Ban**: Egregious behavior may result in an immediate kick or ban to
|
||||
protect other community members. Bans are considered permanent and will only
|
||||
be reversed in exceptional circumstances after proven good behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
Please highlight issues directly in rooms when possible, but if you don't feel
|
||||
comfortable doing that, then please send a DM to one of the moderators directly.
|
||||
|
||||
Together, let’s build a community where everyone feels valued and respected.
