Values
Anyone may keep others accountable to these values and identify when particular posts aren’t aligned with them.
Communication
- Assume good faith.
- Act and use your words honestly yet sensitively.
- Use tonetags if the intent isn’t clear and respect them as a source of truth.
- Prefer to resolve issues with the involved parties directly.
- Rather than making callout/shaming posts or gossiping about people, resolve your issues with them, and only share experiences pertaining to others in order to ask for advice/input, minus identifying information.
Empathy
- Care for the feelings of others.
- Acknowledge everyone’s individuality and nuanced perspectives, including marginalized queer folk like zoosexuals and minor-attracted persons and those of different political orientations.
Rationality
- Judge actions and intent, rather than using binary classifications of “good”/“bad” people, stereotypes, or generalizations.
- Encourage rational thought processes over those like prejudice and supernatural beliefs.
