this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.

in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.

MODERATORS
 

From the Uplifting News Department, an event that was brought to our attention by Wandering.shop member David Croyle. Specifically, that time that the administrators of rpg.net bluntly declared that their website is officially a No Nazis Bar.

There were no follow-up questions: https://wandering.shop/@croyle/113980700961699526

The underlying reasons for rpg.net's moderation at that time were noble, but their implementation of many of their rules was a fucking disaster because it also targeted the people they were supposed to be defending along with allies who didn't pass their purity tests.

The ban on supporting Trump was one of the few things they did get right because it was simple and straightforward.
