rixxI've been an admin and moderator for chaos.social for nearly five years now (😱). A good enough reason as any to reflect on the Good/Bad/Ugly aspects of community management.

Ben@dazinism @rixx So you managed to democratically maintain and even enhance an #interphobic #coc.
Instances like yours are why I went explicitly went out of my way to find an instance which included protections for people like me, which chaos.social has; in addition to the being a bunch of anarchists and geeks.
You lot, however, have clearly derived your policy from the Contributor Covenant and its predecessor, the Geek Feminism Wiki policies. Both have the interphobia baked in (on purpose).
@dazinism @rixx Anyway, you might not want to discuss this with me. As a public signatory to the Darlington Statement, I'm automatically in breach of your instance's CoC as intended by its original author from the GeekFeminism Wiki (I believe it is still online, but as an archive), Tim Chevalier.
You can read the Darlington Statement here:
Morre@adversary I tried to read up on your criticism as I use that CoC too and want to improve.
But I failed to find anything striking to my eye (which wouldn't surprise me as I am a cis man) or any public criticism that refers to the Covenant specifically.
@adversary
Hey Ben, thanks for your comments.
I joined #SocialCoop a short time before the CoC was developed and I followed the conversations during its development. There was a fair amount of tension with some members rejecting suggestions from marginalized groups
Some members from marginalized groups left. Also other members left because they thought the CoC would limit their speech
We followed suggestions from members, and other folks, whod been involved in running diverse online 1/?

@adversary
communities and invited members, particularly those from marginalized groups to form a small working group to make an initial CoC for the co-op.
Im pretty certain there was no intention for our CoC to be interphobic.
Our CoC is a work in progress.
I'd be happy to know what points you feel are problematic or whats missing and I'll propose some changes. 2/2

I finally got around to addressing this in another thread.
Start here:

Warning: it's very long, but you need to read it all.
It should be obvious at the end of that why I do not believe the #ContributorCovenant can be salvaged or "made good."
Yes, the point made in post 19 of that thread absolutely applies to social.coop. Especially when you admit to driving minorities away during the course of adopting your CoC.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] The CC was primarily adapted from the policy documents of the Geek Feminism wiki, which itself was a project of the Ada Initiative. Those policy docs were written by a dyadic trans man from the Bay Area named Tim Chevalier (aka Monadic, aka fatneckbeardguy on Twitter). Chevalier designed these policy documents to not just enable, but to actively sanction the use of these policies to suppress his political opposition. 1/24
