The Great Reset Community Code of Conduct

How to find us

We're in quite a few places, and looking to expand; please let us know if you have any suggestions!

Reporting violations

Diversity is a great strength of any community, and our TGR one is no exception to this. (Remember, the audience for our message is the very definition of diverse.) However, it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to. This code applies equally to founders, mentors and those seeking help and guidance.

This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you can’t do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it’s intended—a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us, and the wider world that we are trying to motivate.

If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you report it by:

1. 'at mentioning' the local room/group administrator, jlj, jlj_ (@jlj:matrix.org), JJ, etc.; and, should they not respond promptly, by
2. sending an email to the administrator.

Code of Conduct

• Be friendly and patient.
• Be welcoming. We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
• Be considerate. Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect others, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions. Remember that, broadly speaking, we're a global community, so you might not be communicating in someone else's primary language.
• Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of this Matrix room should be respectful when dealing with other members, as well as with people in the wider Great Reset community and beyond.
• Be careful in the words that you choose. We are a community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behaviour aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Violent threats or language directed against another person.
• Discriminatory jokes and language.
• Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
• Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying information ("doxing").
• Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
• Unwelcome sexual attention.
• Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
• Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop.
• When we disagree, try to understand why. Disagreements happen all the time, and our community will be no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we’re different. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
• We care about accessibility. We are a text-first community, aiming to be as screen-reader-friendly as possible. (Many Matrix clients are not, but you can also access this room via IRC, in the #tgr channel at IRCNow.org.) If you do want to share an image or a video, that's OK; but please also include a short text summary of its contents, so everyone can participate in any subsequent discussion.
• We are an evidence-based community. We believe that the best conversations are rooted in evidence, largely free from assumptions and bias. (This is a goal; it's next to impossible to attain, but we can aim for it!) This is best illustrated with an example: quite a few people have previously linked to a blog post from 2016, claiming that it proves that the WEF are against ownership. [Edit: Possible broken hyperlink. The Wayback Machine has copies; I've hosted a stripped-down version of one of them, for your convenience.] The text of this post could be seen as one piece of evidence in favour of this view. However, against it are:
  1. It's now five years old;
  2. It was a guest blog post, by a Danish MP, not a WEF statement;
  3. It was updated with an author's note clarifying that this wasn't the intention of the post—Some people have read this blog as my utopia or dream of the future. It is not. It is a scenario showing where we could be heading—for better and for worse;
  4. It stands in contrast to most of the WEF's messaging, before and since; and
  5. There is another seemingly-credible source presenting research that supports this counter-argument.
  In summary, we are a Show, Don't Tell room; please do a bit of research around the arguments you are presenting, and walk us through your reasoning; it will enrich our discussions, and benefit all, yourself included!
