Hi everyone,
We are writing to address a recent incident of harassment that occurred within our community.
We are disturbed to learn that someone experienced harassment after stepping down from their volunteer position, we ask anyone doing this to stop immediately. This serves as a stark reminder that we do not tolerate any form of harassment.
We believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, and it is our responsibility to ensure that everyone feels respected within our community.
If you witness or experience harassment, we urge you to contact us immediately. Your voice matters, and together, we can make a difference. We are here to support you and address any concerns or incidents that may arise.

What would be your suggestion to hold us accountable to our ethos?
We understand the skepticism and hold a similar viewpoint towards a lot of what’s on the internet. We’re explicitly not inviting capital to avoid making any tradeoffs or compromising the vision which capitalistic endeavors cannot by their very nature, do. But ultimately we also recognize that we’re asking for a certain level of trust from our users - if you have suggestions on how to build or solidify that trust we’d love to hear it.
