TBW(ritten)
|
||||
this month our editor ~jumblesale writes in with an essay about our
|
||||
responsibilities to each other as members of this community:
|
||||
|
||||
we're incredibly fortunate on tilde.town to have such a comprehensive code
|
||||
of conduct (http://tilde.town/wiki/conduct.html). I will avoid
|
||||
paraphrasing it here but I think it is worth all of us having a fresh read
|
||||
of it and reflecting on the vision for tilde.town which it describes. as
|
||||
our community expands and more people join it is especially important to
|
||||
be reminded on what behaviour is most important when interacting with
|
||||
other members.
|
||||
|
||||
I am not a spokesperson for tilde.town but if I could offer an extension
|
||||
to our ethos it might be: be considerate, be polite, but most of all, be
|
||||
kind.
|
||||
|
||||
being considerate is acknowledging that we are using a shared resource and
|
||||
that we have been given huge responsibility within it. this includes
|
||||
things like not using up loads of disk and cpu but also not abusing things
|
||||
that call-out to other services like the toot or tweet commands, and being
|
||||
sparing with our use of wall which can be confusing to new joiners and
|
||||
distracting to anyone with an active session. remember the visibility of
|
||||
these commands: everyone is going to see you using them and in the case of
|
||||
wall are going to have to manually dismiss them. wall serves a wonderful
|
||||
creative purpose as showcased on ~vilmibm's page
|
||||
(http://tilde.town/~vilmibm/town.html). it is worth just considering the
|
||||
value of your message before sending it.
|
||||
|
||||
it is also good to keep in mind that we have new users joining all the
|
||||
time and their first impressions are likely to determine whether or not
|
||||
they will become another vital part of our community. if someone joined
|
||||
right this moment, would your behaviour show our community in its best
|
||||
light? tilde.town has so much to offer that it is a tragedy if anyone
|
||||
feels they are not welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
being polite is respecting the way you make others feel. if you are saying
|
||||
something which makes another member feel uncomfortable, it is far more
|
||||
valuable for you to respect their feelings than it is to keep talking.
|
||||
most large social networks have coalesced around an idea that free speech
|
||||
is the most important attribute. we have the opportunity to contribute to
|
||||
a space where the feelings of our fellow members is more important than
|
||||
our ability to talk about what we want. a polite thing to do is move
|
||||
conversations to less visible spaces - channels in irc are free to create
|
||||
and can be a good way to split off talk about things like current politics
|
||||
which can be a distressing topic for members of our community.
|
||||
|
||||
being kind means acknowledging that the unusual nature of tilde.town will
|
||||
attract people disproportionately disenfranchised by other online
|
||||
communities. it means being able to understand that there are forces which
|
||||
systemetically oppress other members of this community, even if those same
|
||||
systems have been beneficial to you. if you are a beneficiary then this is
|
||||
not to criticise you, just to ask that you have extra patience for people
|
||||
who do not share your circumstances. tilde.town is always likely to
|
||||
attract people who are in some way marginalised. our responsibility as
|
||||
members to provide a place where they feel welcomed and valued - the same
|
||||
behaviour we would extend to any member of our community.
|
||||
|
||||
it is also important that we provide a space where members are able to
|
||||
discuss ideas, explore and expand their knowledge. tilde.town is also
|
||||
unique in being an active multi-user system open to public registrations.
|
||||
we have a responsibility to support one another's learning in a respectful
|
||||
way. there is nowhere else on the internet where many projects which exist
|
||||
on tilde.town could be created. it is vital for us to preserve that.
|
||||
|
||||
tilde.town is a truly unique place which has meant so much to me during my
|
||||
time here. it has changed my life and enriched it with many wonderful
|
||||
friends. when we see problems it is also our responsibility to work to fix
|
||||
them rather than to ignore them or disgard our community. I have always
|
||||
thought it is important to combat cliqueism in everything we create for
|
||||
for the town - a fracturing of our close-knit community would not be a
|
||||
benefit to anyone. to avoid this we must be able to treat each other with
|
||||
respect and gently remind one another of our responsibilities to our
|
||||
community when that fails.
|
||||
|
||||
thank you for reading.
