# Apothecary Community Guidelines V2
# The Apothecary Website

<!--
The repo contains the code to build the website soon to be hosted at
[apothecary.gay](https://apothecary.gay).

Document notes:
## Rules

Formatting: please try to keep line to around 100 columns long, and wrap after that. This isn't a
hard limit, but should be generally respected.
-->

## Introduction

The Apothecary is a chill and welcoming left-leaning community, a minority friendly space, a place
of self-expression and empowerment. The community is heavily moderated for the safety and comfort of our members, if
that's not something you're comfortable with, this isn't the space for you. Be respectful of others,
even those you don't understand.


## Content

There are specific and strict content policies on this server for the protection of our members.


### Guidelines

- Engage with others in good faith (especially in the heavy-topics rooms)
- Try to understand the others' points of view and don't just attack people you disagree with
- Disagreements happen, but try not to escalate the situation and increase hostility
- If someone wants to disengage from a conversation, let them
- If someone is espousing truly harmful views or refuses to engage in good faith, call the moderators to deal with them
- Respect boundaries as placed by others
- Be respectful/apologize/give space as necessary if someone tells you, or implies through their
actions, that you crossed a boundary, as best as you understand
- Spoiler content that may be unpleasant, triggering, or when requested < put link >
- Keep discussion topical to the room it's in and migrate elsewhere if needed


### Moderation Requests

If you feel moderation action is needed, at any time you can type `!mods` in any official Apothecary
room to call the moderators.


## Disallowed conduct

- Discrimination, including but not limited to:
- Racism
- Antisemitism
- Islamomisia
- Sexism
- Homomisia
- Transmisia
- Acemisia
- Aromisia
- Bimisia
- Panmisia
- Ableism
- Sysmisia; tulpas and other members of plural groups must treated as equal to others.
- Classism
- General exclusionary behavior
- Stalking, harassment, dogpiling, and any other behavior intended to intimidate or provoke others
- Conduct promoting Nazism, fascism, xenophobia, white supremacy and any related right-wing ideology
- Aggregating, posting, and/or disseminating a person's demographic, personal, or private data
without express permission (informally called doxxing)
- Illegal pornographic material and any analogous illustrated material (for instance, content depicting minors)
- Lewd content in rooms that are not explicitly marked Lewd
- Gratuitous violence or otherwise shocking content
- Overly combative or otherwise disruptive behavior
- Promoting scams or crypto currencies

## Politics

Political topics and discussions should be kept to the [Politics room](https://matrix.to/#/#politics:the-apothecary.club).
What counts as a political topic is up to moderator discretion.


## Mental Health

Any content which mentions heavy mental health topics, such as suicide or self harm, must be kept
to the heavy-topics rooms and spoilered appropriately.


## Action

Moderators may choose how to deal with unacceptable behaviour. Here is a non-exhaustive list of things they may do:

- Inform the offender that their actions were unacceptable and should not be repeated.
- Temporarily restrict the offender's ability to send messages.
- Temporarily or permanently ban the offender from the service.

There is currently no official system to appeal moderation decisions but one is in the works. This
document will be updated when that system is ready.


## Scope

These community guidelines apply to all rooms and spaces related to the the-apothecary.club
homeserver and related services.
Our rules are now contained in this repo in the file
