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

• Impersonation of other community members or organisers

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].
