Code of Conduct

YooHoo Social is a community built on respect, kindness, and inclusivity. This Code of Conduct sets out the standards we expect from everyone who uses the platform and participates in gatherings.

Our Values

YooHoo Social exists to support the Radical Faeries community; a space for queer people and allies to connect, organise gatherings, and share resources. We believe communities thrive when people feel safe, seen, and respected. These guidelines help us create that environment, both online and at in-person gatherings.

We welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and expressions. Open communication, creativity, and genuine connection are at the heart of what we do.

Expected Behaviour

We ask everyone in our community to:

Treat others with respect and empathy, both online and at gatherings
Engage genuinely and with positive intent
Respect boundaries, identities, pronouns, and lived experiences
Use content warnings when discussing sensitive topics
Ask before photographing or recording anyone at gatherings
Practise consent in all interactions; check in, don’t assume
Honour the “leave no trace” principle in natural spaces
Respect facilitators’ guidance regarding safety and logistics
Maintain confidentiality about other participants’ personal information shared during gatherings

Unacceptable Behaviour

The following will not be tolerated on the platform or at gatherings:

Harassment, bullying, or intimidation of any kind
Hate speech, slurs, or discrimination based on gender, sexuality, race, disability, religion, or any other characteristic
Non-consensual sharing of intimate images or personal information (doxxing)
Content that sexualises minors in any way
Threats of violence or encouraging self-harm
Spam, scams, or distribution of malware
Impersonation of other community members or organisers
Violating the consent or boundaries of others at gatherings
Content or behaviour that is illegal under Dutch or EU law

At Gatherings

In-person gatherings are a core part of our community, and additional expectations apply. Participants should practise harm reduction and respect community agreements around substance use. Everyone is responsible for their own health, safety, and belongings. If you witness or experience something that makes you uncomfortable, please speak with a facilitator or contact us directly.

Enforcement

Our moderators and gathering facilitators apply proportionate responses based on the severity and context of each situation:

Minor violations

A private warning with an explanation of why the behaviour was inappropriate.

Repeated or moderate violations

Content removal, temporary suspension from the platform, or exclusion from a gathering.

Severe violations

Permanent ban from the platform, immediate removal from a gathering without refund, and exclusion from future events.

Reporting

Reports are handled confidentially. We aim to acknowledge reports within 24 hours and resolve them within 7 days.

You can report issues by emailing [protected email], or by speaking directly to a gathering facilitator if you're at an event.

Appeals

If you believe a moderation decision was made in error, you can appeal by emailing [protected email]. Appeals are reviewed by a different person than the one who made the original decision.

Changes to This Code

We may update this Code of Conduct as our community evolves. Significant changes will be announced on the platform and communicated to registered users. If you have questions or suggestions, contact us at [protected email].
