tilde.institute code of conduct

tl;dr: Be kind to each other. Think carefully about the words you use. Think carefully about what content you post and promote.

1. Purpose

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).

This code of conduct outlines our expectations for all those who participate in our community, as well as the consequences for unacceptable behavior.

We invite all those who participate in tilde.institute to help create safe and positive experiences for everyone.

2. Vision of tilde.institute

tilde.institute exists to provide a safe, non-judgemental, and fun place to explore creative projects and to seek intentional digital community.

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.

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.

3. Expected Behavior

4. Unacceptable Behavior

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.

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.

5. Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior

Unacceptable behavior from any community member, including those with decision making authority or sudo, will not be tolerated.

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.
