After a recent discussion with @smallcircles I decided to post an example of a good CoC (in my mind) and also good rules for community governance.
It seemed clear to me that there is not many good examples out there including https://participate.coding.social/
What I consider good CoC and good community rules are rules that take into account:
- The amount of harm tech "optimism" mentality does to a community and society as a whole.
- The amount of harm and disproportionate incentives and abilities including for profit - capitalist companies does to a community. looking at w3 for example.
- The amount of harm including states, cops, weapons and everything that comes with them brings to a community. nixos and element also learned this.
Good community culture rules can build on top of that to show what can find of culture is encouraged and signal to people what kind of behavior is tolerated or not. A good community relies on people to speak up autonomously without always going to a moderator.
