This instance prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. The moderators reserve the right not to act on complaints regarding:
- ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’
- Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you.”
- Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
- Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions
For the avoidance of doubt, you action in other spaces (i.e. not on this server) can be used when making a moderation decision under this CoC.
Bot Policy
Bots, in general, are welcome to have an account & post here.
- They must be more OSM-specific and OSM-relevant, than a regular human account.
- Bots that post a high amount of automaticly-generated toots must use the “Quiet Public” publishing level to avoid overwhelming the OSM Town Local Timeline, or popular, generic hashtags (e.g
#OpenStreetMap) - Bots are strongly advised to mention the account(s) who created/run them in their profile description.
