Return to Code of Conduct

Maybe it would help to copy and paste them into the CoC and Reporting Guidelines drafts?

Maybe a stand alone reference doc would be better. That way it doesn't become the sole focus of the revisions. There are many others who weren't part of the previous iterations that may come to weigh in and they should be afforded the ability to interface with the drafts as they stand (or as they progress depending on their timing).

I agree with @edsummers that it would be constructive and "useful to see a summary of the issues with the current draft that came up in previous discussion, and which prompted the revision."

Thanks Ed, for being willing to review and collect those sentiments, suggestions, critiques, etc.

I have served on the Code of Conduct development committee for professional American Sign Language interpreters. Not sure if that'll be particularly relevant; just disclosing. Boundaries are a big deal in terms of respecting autonomy, individuality, cultural differences etc, knowing when to mediate (leave it be for interactants to work through or help with reframing or some other repair strategy), and when discipline is needed (holding the line on the permissability/impermissability of a particular behavior).

Thank you. Seems very relevant and glad to have your contributions to the process.

The thread on Content Warnings may be relevant? https://www.loomio.org/d/d8zrZIVb/content-warnings-anonymous-poll

Also, I see that @mayel mentioned something happening in a thread on Block and Abstain....I can't locate that thread; not sure how it ties in to CoC (except in a general way)...?

Hi all -- where we at? I have a bunch of notes that I gleaned from some previous threads. @edsummers are you gathering something similar?

I'm wondering if the Code should begin with a kind of disclaimer ... e.g.,

"We've sought to anticipate areas of concern and have provided clear guidelines for what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior within social coop/mastodon. We expect that things will arise which we have not foreseen or which we have not yet clarified the boundaries. Please be advised that if you post something deemed questionable and NOT already covered, there will be an open (?) process using your posting as the flashpoint for defining appropriate/inappropriate behavior."

Hi Stephanie -- since I haven't participated in the discussions I didn't feel comfortable trying to characterize them. But I'm glad you have posted them as comments to the doc, that's the perfect place!

Ah, @edsummers I see your additional comment. I disagree, however! We need outside eyeballs on the process and construction, not just insiders :)

I have posted comments to the google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YNXdnDTRz897rXRHoTGwaeoFfZI7-_cwplF2qvy-W8Q/edit#
