well, #libremone and #purism are continuing to be run by "is this just them being hopelessly naiive, or is this some sort of malice"
i'd still think a "hey, we're sorry bout the screw-up" would be in order, as it now just leaves the rules stressing about how they totally will have moderators accepting reports from other instances hanging there awkwardly, smelling of an unfinished scandal.
the effort is commendable - but boy, that removal of examples of harassment is GLARING.
the attribution's right there at least for the open-source community guidelines. but comparing the two?
https://community-covenant.net/version/1/0/ lays out explicitly bad behavior to avoid.
#purism just says "don't be bad. and if you have any questions about what bad is, privately contact an admin."
listen, i may not be a tech wunderkid, but i've been around for awhile. "follow the rules or else. the rules are all unspoken and we're not going to elaborate more unless it's in private." ...is dodgy.
ultimately it always translates to "we don't publicly post the rules because every single person gets a different version of them to follow, depending on sex, gender, skin color, phase of the moon, and if we like you or not."
aka, get ready for the bff of a mod to get away with murder while you get bounced for eating a hot dog with mustard instead of kechup.
or, the more likely variant in this case? " #purism refuses to list #libremone rules because who stays and who goes depends on $$ given"
@wigglytuffitout either that or it's because there aren't any and they know that won't play well if they actually come out and say it
