Poke Project — Code of Conduct

+

+ Respect, decency, and kindness are mandatory. + Poke exists for creativity, collaboration, and freedom — not hate or bigotry. +

+
+ + + +
+

Why This Exists

+

+ The Internet can be amazing or miserable depending on how people behave. + The Poke community thrives on creative, kind, and diverse people working together on Free Software. + This Code of Conduct exists to stop harassment, exclusion, or political extremism from poisoning that space. +

+

+ We don’t tolerate hate. We don’t tolerate far-right or fascist rhetoric disguised as “opinions.” + We don’t tolerate people who defend violence, genocides, or oppression. + This project values empathy and solidarity, not cruelty or ego. +

+
+ +
+

Our Values

+
    +
  • Freedom — the GNU kind: the right to study, share, and change code.
    • +
  • Kindness — treating others like people, not usernames.
    • +
  • Community — diverse, queer-friendly, and inclusive by default.
    • +
  • Safety — a space free from hate speech, harassment, or propaganda.
    • +
+
+ +
+

Key Definitions

+
    +
  • Hate Speech: Words or behavior targeting people for who they are — such as their race, gender, sexuality, or beliefs.
    • +
  • Harassment: Any repeated unwanted attention, threats, or hostility, public or private.
    • +
  • Far-Right Content: Material or advocacy promoting authoritarian, fascist, racist, or nationalist ideologies (including MAGA, anti-LGBT, or similar movements).
    • +
  • Genocide Denial: Any attempt to justify, minimize, or deny historical or ongoing genocides.
    • +
  • Inappropriate Content: Material that mocks victims of discrimination, celebrates violence, or idolizes abusive figures (e.g. Elon Musk defenders spreading hate or misinformation).
    • +
+
+ +
+

Prohibited Conduct

+

The following behaviors are forbidden across all spaces related to Poke, including forks and community servers:

+
    +
  • Homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, or xenophobia.
    • +
  • Defending, promoting, or trivializing genocides or ethnic cleansing.
    • +
  • Posting or endorsing far-right, MAGA, or extremist material.
    • +
  • Defending or idolizing billionaires, fascists, or figures like Elon Musk who spread hate or disinformation.
    • +
  • Trolling, harassment, stalking, or impersonating contributors.
    • +
  • Encouraging harm, spreading conspiracy theories, or mocking minorities.
    • +
  • Any form of AI spam, generated hate propaganda, or image-based harassment.
    • +
+

+ If your words or behavior make marginalized users feel unsafe or excluded, you are part of the problem — and you will be removed. +

+
+ +
+

AI-Generated Content Policy

+

+ The Poke Project values human creativity and critical thought. + AI tools may be used for artwork, documentation, or writing only when: +

+
    +
  • The content does not contain hate, political propaganda, or misinformation.
    • +
  • The creator clearly labels when AI was used.
    • +
  • The generated content respects copyright and Free Software licenses.
    • +
+

+ AI-generated “fake people,” deepfakes, and fake community personas are forbidden. + No generated political or “culture war” content is accepted. + Submissions found to be AI spam, propaganda, or manipulative will be removed permanently. +

+
+ +
+

Naming & Modification Rules

+

+ You may copy or modify this document under Free Software terms. + However, if you change it, you cannot use names that imply official connection with Poke. + Forbidden titles include but aren’t limited to: +

+
    +
  • Poke Code of Conduct
    • +
  • Poketube Code of Conduct
    • +
  • Poke Project Code of Conduct
    • +
  • Poke Community Guidelines
    • +
+

+ If you modify this text, rename it clearly to avoid confusion. + Any fork or derivative using these names while changing the rules is misleading and may be publicly flagged. +

+
+ +
+

Enforcement & Bans

+

+ The Poke maintainers and moderators have full authority to act on any behavior they find harmful. + This includes verbal abuse, hate promotion, or anything violating the rules above. +

+

+ Enforcement actions can include: +

+
    +
  • Warning: A private message explaining what happened and what must stop.
    • +
  • Temporary Ban: Loss of access to community platforms (Discord, issues, etc.) for a period of time.
    • +
  • Permanent Ban: Complete removal from all Poke spaces, forks, and future contributions.
    • +
+

+ Anyone engaging in hate speech, extremist propaganda, or repeated harassment will be banned permanently. + There is no “free speech” defense for discrimination here — Free Software is about freedom for users, not freedom to harm others. +

+

+ Bans may also apply to forks that repeatedly host banned individuals or attempt to remove protections against hate or genocide denial. +

+
+ +
+

+ Reports are handled confidentially and reviewed fairly. + Harassers will not be contacted beyond what’s required to moderate their behavior. +
