Channel/Chatrooms recommendations
Criteria for inclusion of a chatrooms/channel
To add a chatroom in this list it must:
- Have a Code of Conduct that is strong enough to offer robust protections to marginalized people. See for example:
- JoinJabber Code of Conduct
- LGBT Code of Conduct
- Gnome Code of Conduct
- The feminist club Code of Conduct
- Have multiple owners and moderators in the chat.
- Have a healthy community that aims for inclusion, equity and diversity.
- Have an easy, documented way to join. By either being public and joined by anyone or have a clear way to get an invite.
- Make it clear where the room is bridged before a person joins the room (write in the Subject, Description, Listing, etc.) and what drawbacks that includes (cultural, different way to message, etc.). The XMPP room should be the main venue of the community and the bridged rooms in other networks, the secondary ones.
If your room fulfills this criteria send a message to the JoinJabber Collective room with the address of the room and a answer to each above criteria (links, yes/no, statement of values, etc.).
