In the spirit of increasing the productivity of the discussion…
I disagree fundamentally with this proposal starting from point number 1:
- Proof of Humanity is committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, religion, or similar personal characteristic.
This is not the case. It may be a goal for a chatroom group, but it is not the goal of the PoH project. Proof of Humanity is a technical project for the technologically literate and able, people competent to secure their own keys. Confusion on this point has caused suffering and financial loss.
I could easily see an argument being made that this post is ableist or offends the sensibilities of those defending the illiterate. I fear that any ‘code of conduct’ adopted anywhere in the project may come to limit our capacity to move forward as a community. I’m not an anarchist, I just want us to be careful.
The guidelines for this forum, FAQ - Proof of Humanity and UBI , seem reasonable, so I propose that we adopt those as the guidelines for all moderators of official channels as well. When the Telegram channel is blessed as an official channel, those guidelines can be applied by the moderators.
