<h1>tilde.institute code of conduct</h1>
<p><strong>tl;dr</strong>: Be kind to each other. Think carefully about the words you
use. Think carefully about what content you post and promote.</p>
<h2>1. Purpose</h2>
<p>A primary goal of tilde.institute is to be inclusive to the largest number of
community members, with the most varied and diverse backgrounds
possible. As such, we are committed to providing a friendly, safe and
welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation,
ability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion (or lack
thereof).</p>
<p>This code of conduct outlines our expectations for all those who
participate in our community, as well as the consequences for
unacceptable behavior.</p>
<p>We invite all those who participate in tilde.institute to help create safe
and positive experiences for everyone.</p>
<h2>2. Vision of tilde.institute</h2>
<p><strong>tilde.institute exists to provide a safe, non-judgemental, and fun place to
explore creative projects and to seek intentional digital community.</strong></p>
<p>In a post-facebook age, it is up to small communities to gather and work
together to provide a space outside of the advertising-laden, corporate
mediated world of social media.</p>
<p>To that end, tilde.institute strives to be a radically inclusive community
where people of all backgrounds and all technological experience levels
can come together for peer education, to delight in one another's
creations and to make good conversation.</p>
<h2>3. Expected Behavior</h2>
<ul>
<li>Participate in an authentic and active way. In doing so, you
contribute to the health and longevity of tilde.institute.</li>
<li>Exercise consideration and respect in your speech and actions.</li>
<li>Attempt collaboration before conflict.</li>
<li>Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and
speech.</li>
<li>If anyone asks you to stop a particular kind of behavior, always err
on the side of respecting their wishes. If you believe their request
is unreasonable or unfair, ask an admin, but don't respond with
hostility.</li>
<li>Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants.
Alert community leaders if you notice a dangerous situation, someone
in distress, or violations of this code of conduct, even if they
seem inconsequential.</li>
</ul>
<h2>4. Unacceptable Behavior</h2>
<p>Unacceptable behaviors include: intimidating, harassing, abusive,
discriminatory, derogatory or demeaning speech or actions by any
tilde.institute user online, at any related events, or in one-on-one
communication carried out in the conduct of tilde.institute related projects.
Community event venues--physical or digital--may be shared with members
of the public; please be respectful to all patrons of these locations.</p>
<p>Harassment includes: harmful or prejudicial verbal or written comments
related to gender, age, sexual orientation, race, religious choices,
disability; inappropriate use of nudity and/or sexual images in public
spaces (like your \~ html pages); deliberate intimidation, stalking, or
following; harassing recording; sustained disruption of the work of
others; and unwelcome sexual attention.</p>
<h2>5. Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior</h2>
<p>Unacceptable behavior from any community member, including those with
decision making authority or <code>sudo</code>, will not be tolerated.</p>
<p>Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately.
If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the tilde.institute admins
may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including a temporary ban
or permanent expulsion from tilde.institute (meaning your user account would be
revoked) without warning.</p>
