Code of Conduct

This is not a legal document. As of writing, this community is very small and is entirely run by one person. I could copy a well-thought-out code of conduct from somewhere else—or worse, I could try and come up with one on my own—but I don't think we'd benefit from either. If we find we could use an actual code of conduct, its writing should be collaborative: it should be owned by our community.

In the meantime, here is where I stand:

1. I'll start by saying (as many mastodon instances do) that I'm committed to combating racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia.
2. I believe it's impossible to make literally every human feel welcome and included; welcoming one person can always risk excluding another. So I see no hypocrisy in excluding you for intolerant behavior. There are mastodon instances that celebrate intolerant behavior, and you can join one of them.
3. If you make someone feel hurt, unsafe, or unwelcome, then I expect you to do whatever it takes to make it right.
