# 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.
