Channel/Chatrooms recommendations
Criteria for inclusion of a chatrooms/channel
To add a chatroom in this list it must:
- Have a CoC that is strong enough to offer robust protections to marginalized people. See for example:
- 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.
- Not be bridged to a network that doesn't have the same privacy baselines as people using XMPP and JoinJabber expect. (eg. rooms that are bridged to matrix, discord can not be listed. IRC is okay.)
