Community Guidelines and Civilized Discourse online - let's discuss

AI Alanna Irving Public Seen by 321

We now have a community moderation policy.

I was inspired by this post on the Discourse blog: The Universal Rules of Civilized Discourse, which goes into depth about how they developed their community guidelines.

Obviously Loomio as an organization and all group coordinators and Loomio users have an inherent interest in this topic. How can you have a good discussion online? How can we develop Loomio to support that? For the Loomio case, good, productive discussion is essential to ultimately making good decisions and increasing engagement.

Does this Loomio Community group need guidelines? Moderation? Should we give all group coordinators space to spell out their guidelines from a blank slate, or should Loomio be more opinionated? Interested in your thoughts.
