Just like white -supremacy, there are layers to religious extremism that start with -supporting forms and ends toward violence. Also like white supremacy -we do not tolerate supporting forms of religious extremism any more -than we do overt religious extremism. There isn't (yet) a handy -infographic to share for this one, yet, but what this generally means -is: - -* Attacking / demeaning others' religion is not tolerated -* Supporting violence towards the participants of a religion is not tolerated -* Spreading hateful speech regarding religion is not tolerated -* To clarify potential grey areas: atheism, as the abscence of religion, as - well as agnosticism is covered by the above. Other philosphies that could - be considered "religion adjacent", like secular humanism, are also protected - by this rule. -* Spreading support for a subset of one religion spreading hate, violence, - etc. against other religions or philosophies is not tolerated. -* Supporting or spreading support of one religion being "dominant" over others -* Supporting or spreading support for religiously motivated hate speech or violence - -As a point of clarity: this does not mean that people cannot analyze -or otherwise discuss religion in this space. It simply cannot cross the line -into causing harm and requires good boundaries and healthy respect by all active -participants. All participants must also keep in mind that their conversation -will be visible by many, many non-participants in the Fediverse. - - -### No nationalism - -What we are trying to distinguish here is, similar to above, extremist -ideology. As a quick example, you might feel pride that your country has -universal healthcare. Awesome! This is fine. If you have made your -national identity your whole identity, and use that identity to harm -others either by direct action or proxy action, then that would be -the "extremism" aspect that is disallowed on this server. - -### No racism - -A lot of this rule overlaps with No White Supremacy; however as an -extension and clarification from that rule: discrimation on the basis -of race or ethnicity is not tolerated on this server. Neither will -hate speech or propogating hateful ideas on the basis of race or -ethnicity be tolerated. - -* Attacking / demeaning others' race or ethnicity is not tolerated -* Supporting violence on the basis or race or ethnicity is not tolerated -* Spreading hateful speech regarding race or ethnicity is not tolerated -* Spreading support for dominance of one race or ethnicity over others - is not tolerated -* Supporting or spreading support for racially or ethnically motivated - hate speech or violence is not tolerated -* Supporting or spreading current or past historical dehumanizing tropes - on the basis of race or ethnicity will not be tolerated - -### No homophobia - -Homophobia in any form is not tolerated on this server. Some specifics: - -* Attacking / demeaning others' sexual orientation is not tolerated -* Supporting violence towards people on the basis of sexual orientation is not tolerated -* Spreading hateful speech regarding sexual orientation is not tolerated -* Supporting or spreading support indicating one sexual orientation as "the only - correct" one, or "only natural" one, etc. is not tolerated -* Supporting or spreading support for hate speech or violence against a specific - sexual orientation -* As few points of clarity: - * All those who are not heterosexual are protected by this rule, even if they - do not identify as specifically gay - * Those who identify as asexual, whether this is considered a sexual orientation - or the absence of one, are protected by this rule - * Romantic attraction, which is separate from sexual orientation, is also protected by this rule - -### No transphobia - -Transphobia in any form is not tolerated on this server. Some specifics: - -* Attacking / demeaning others' gender is not tolerated -* Supporting violence towards specific genders is not tolerated -* Spreading gender-based hate speech is not tolerated -* Supporting or spreading support of misinformation around gender identity - will not be tolerated. -* Supporting or spreading support of cruelty to transgender children and - adults will not be tolerated -* Those on the gender spectrum, who may not identify as trans but who may - be non-binary, genderfluid, etc. are protected by this rule. - -### Safe Space: LGBTQIA+ - -TOADD - -### Safe Space: Neurodivergent - -TOADD - -## The three grey areas -### Current events, past events, and personal experience - -Hachydermians may need to discuss some topics on the above "No" list -from time to time. Whether it is sharing current news, feelings about -current news, personal experiences and/or impacts, or making historical -connections the fact is that the world is a bit on fire. **Conversations -from these perspectives are welcome, however: use content warnings on text -and media whenver discussing or sharing anything that might fall under -these rules.** If you are unsure, use a content warning as that is why the -feature is there. This is how we as a community can give space to as many as -we can: both those who need to talk about certain topics and spread knowledge -about them as well as protect those who are actively experiencing, or -recovering from, the topic in the discussion. To put it another way: -**one person's case study is another person's life and trauma, treat these -conversations with respect**.
