We're excited to have you here. Sable is a Matrix client meant for everyone. Because of that we're committed to keeping this community open and welcoming to all.
We ask all of our community—the people who build it, use it, break it, suggest things for it, help each other with it, and occasionally meow—to abide by some general rules when in official Sable spaces.
Conversation here is casual. You can disagree, joke around, swear, be weird, and criticize Sable or its decisions. Just remember that other people share the room with you.
The following are not allowed:
- Do not harass people. This includes targeted insults, dogpiling, repeatedly provoking someone, unwelcome sexual advances or attention, or continuing to contact someone after they ask you to stop.
- Do not use hate speech or attack someone based on their identity, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, age, body size or appearance, sex, sex characteristics, sexuality, gender identity, gender expression, and socioeconomic status.
- Do not make threats, encourage violence or self-harm, or doxx anyone. Doxxing includes sharing or threatening to share someone's private information.
- Do not post explicit sexual content. This includes graphic NSFW media, pornography, and explicit sexual comments or jokes.
- Do not abuse the shared spaces. This includes impersonation, scams, malicious links or files, spam, flooding, ban evasion, or retaliation against someone for making a report or setting a boundary.
Context and patterns matter. Being blunt, disagreeing about politics or project direction, or criticizing a maintainer is not automatically a violation. These rules cannot cover every situation, so moderators have final say on how they apply.
These rules apply to Sable's official GitHub repositories and Matrix space and rooms.
We do not police people's unrelated private lives. We may act on credible threats, doxxing, or targeted harassment outside these spaces when it is connected to Sable.
If a moderator asks you to stop, stop.
When this code of conduct is not followed, moderators may remove content, issue a warning, kick, or ban someone from Sable's Matrix rooms or block them from its GitHub repositories.
When practical, moderators will explain the problem and what needs to happen next. Moderators will step back from handling reports that involve them directly, provided another moderator is available. You may request a review by emailing the address listed in the Reporting section below if you believe a decision was mistaken.
Message a moderator (anyone with an Admin or Moderator power level) in the relevant Matrix room or email conduct@sable.moe. Reports will be handled thoughtfully and as privately as we reasonably can.
If your report is about a moderator, email
conduct@sable.moe or contact 7w1 directly at
@seven:sable.moe.
Send whatever context you have. You do not need to build a case first. We will limit access to people who need it to handle the report. We will not identify you to the reported person without your permission, though details of the report may need to be discussed to investigate or act on it. Knowingly false reports or using reports to harass someone are not allowed.
These rules may change as Sable and its community change. By continuing to participate in official Sable spaces, you agree to continue abiding by these rules. If something is unclear, missing, or badly written, please tell us and we will update this document.
