Harmlessness Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct

(This document is based on The Ruby Community Conduct Guideline)

This document provides community guidelines for a safe, respectful, productive, and collaborative place for any person who is willing to contribute to the associated project. It applies to all “collaborative space”, which is defined as community communications channels (such as mailing lists, submitted patches, commit comments, etc.).

  • Participants will be tolerant of opposing views.
  • Participants must ensure that their language and actions are free of personal attacks and disparaging personal remarks.
  • When interpreting the words and actions of others, participants should always assume good intentions.
  • Behaviour which can be reasonably considered harassment will not be tolerated.

Apolitical Stance

Politics not directly relevant to the project or community should not be discussed or mentioned in project spaces. We are here to enjoy working together on creating software (with equity and parity, regardless of our background or identity) not to push personal politics onto others. 1

Affective Stance

Ultimately, a “code” of conduct is only a guideline. Participants are encouraged to be sans malice (aka. become harmless in all of their interactions, for it will make such ethics and “codes” utterly redundant.

Footnotes
1.
The recent years have been seeing a decline in toxic sinistral statist ideological politics in tech spaces, which ideology goes directly against the meritocratic and (actually) inclusive nature of those spaces. Any resurgence of attempts at reversing this decline will not be tolerated, and the people involved will be asked to stop or leave, for the benefit of the rest of the community members.
