@unspeaker, about “Political current events” is there anything specific you want to change in this point, or somewhere else in the code of conduct?
- Political current events such as elections and government actions, when not posted in connection of music-related topics (songs, concerts, campaigns…)
I don’t see the point of using automatic word replacements to avoid that people post certain words.
I have changed the sentence defining what is on-topic, and now it says
Stay on topic
The Social Music Network is about fairness and autonomy for music lovers.
This is simple, concrete, and consistent with the discussion on Project vision, values, and statement.
About defining what is off-topic…
No, we have a code of conduct because we want to (paraphrasing the first section)
- be a friendly community
- make safer and better spaces for those less privileged
- everyone to have a great time, feel welcome and to let cool ideas flow around
- keep this place an enjoyable, fun and interesting place to be
Defining what is off-topic contributes to these goals. Fully agreed that there is no exact line, and that context is always important. Good moderators must be able to resolve situations in ways that contribute to the goals above.
This code of conduct is an adaptation of a text that has been used in many places during many years, including sonomu.club, where we have copied it from, and where the community is great.
