The Parenting Community

Welcome!

We're a friendly, open community, loosely based on talking about having and raising children.

Addresses

• Matrix: #parenting
• IRC: #parenting on IRCNow.org (i.e., connect to irc.ircnow.org and /join #parenting)
• Telegram: Parenting
• Discord: #parenting on nfld

Code of Conduct

Diversity is a great strength of any community, and our parenting one is no exception to this. 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:

• Be friendly and patient.
• Be welcoming.
• 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.
• We care about accessibility. Please try to be screen-reader-friendly.
• We are an evidence-based community. We aim for Show, Don't Tell.

Questions?

If you have questions, some of these concepts are elaborated on in the CoC for a sister community I run; or, as always, please feel free to contact the administrator directly.
