## Additional Terms for Poketube
|
||||
**TL;DR**: You are encouraged not to edit or remove these terms from Poketube. While you have the freedom to make changes in your Poketube fork, if you choose to modify this document, please refrain from using the title "Poketube Code of Conduct." Everyone can copy and share this document as is, but making changes is allowed with the aforementioned condition. If your chosen alternative code of conduct doesn't include provisions against hate speech, inappropriate behavior, anti-immigrant sentiments, far-right, or authoritarian content, it's not recommended.
|
||||
Additional TERMS
|
||||
|
||||
1. Definitions
|
||||
|
||||
- **"Alternative Code of Conduct"**: This refers to a code of conduct other than the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.
|
||||
|
||||
- **"Free Software"**: The definition of "free software" is in accordance with the GNU GPL version 3. You can find a complete copy of it in the LICENSE file.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Hate Speech**: Hate speech includes any communication, whether written, spoken, or expressed in any form, that promotes discrimination, hostility, or violence against individuals or groups based on attributes such as race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or other protected characteristics.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Inappropriate Behavior**: Inappropriate behavior encompasses actions or expressions that create an unwelcome, hostile, or offensive environment for others, such as harassment, intimidation, or bullying.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Authoritarianism**: Authoritarianism is characterized by an emphasis on strong central authority, limited individual freedoms, and restrictions on democratic processes. Content or behavior that promotes authoritarian principles, suppresses freedom of speech, individual rights, or democratic values is strongly discouraged.
|
||||
# Poke Project Code of Conduct
|
||||
*(also referred to as the “Poke Code of Conduct,” “Poketube Code of Conduct,” “Poke Project Code of Conduct,” or “Poketube Project Code of Conduct,” and collectively the “Code of Conduct”)*
|
||||
|
||||
- **Protected characteristics** include attributes such as race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and other traits or qualities safeguarded from discrimination by relevant laws and regulations. This defines what is meant by "protected characteristics" in the context of this document.
|
||||
**Effective Date**: This Code of Conduct is deemed effective retroactively from the first inclusion of any Code of Conduct within the Poke project. Any outdated, altered, or fork-specific versions are superseded by this version unless otherwise explicitly replaced by the Poke maintainers.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Terms
|
||||
By contributing to, forking, or otherwise participating in Poke (or Poketube) or any of its forks, you agree to be bound by this Code of Conduct.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: The Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct already includes provisions on some of these issues. Our intention is to provide a more defined and explicit statement regarding these prohibitions to ensure a clear and inclusive community environment.

|
||||
|
||||
YOU ARE NOT ENCOURAGED TO EDIT, REMOVE, OR ALTER THE TERMS OF THIS FILE. However, should you choose to make changes, please avoid using the title "Poketube Code of Conduct." Removing this file from your Poketube fork is allowed. Everyone, without exception, is permitted to create unmodified copies of this document and distribute it as is; however, modifications to this document are allowed with the aforementioned condition.
|
||||
|
||||
It is of paramount importance to emphasize that the promotion or glorification of anti-immigrant sentiments, the alignment with far-right ideologies, Islamophobia, or any form of religious discrimination is strongly discouraged within the scope of Poketube. We maintain a stance against such content, which includes material that discriminates against immigrants, promotes hatred or hostility towards religious groups, or actively supports extremist beliefs associated with far-right ideologies. This stance is encouraged and non-binding.
|
||||
## 1. Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
We believe in fostering an environment that is inclusive, respectful, and free from discrimination or the promotion of extremist ideologies. As such, any content found in violation of this encouragement will be addressed promptly and appropriately.
|
||||
The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to establish binding rules and standards for participation in the Poke project and its forks. These standards are designed to protect contributors, maintainers, and users from harmful or exclusionary conduct and to uphold the values of inclusivity, respect, and Free Software principles.
|
||||
|
||||
THE CLARITY AND FORCE OF THIS STATEMENT ARE INTENDED TO ENCOURAGE CLEAR GUIDELINES: ANTI-IMMIGRANT SENTIMENTS, FAR-RIGHT IDEOLOGIES, ISLAMOPHOBIA, RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION, MISOGYNY, AND SEXISM ARE STRONGLY DISCOURAGED AND NOT PREFERRED WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. OUR HOPE IS TO MAINTAIN A RESPECTFUL AND INCLUSIVE ATMOSPHERE FOR ALL, REGARDLESS OF THEIR BACKGROUND, BELIEFS, OR IDENTITY.
