Appendices for the code of conduct

Frequently asked questions about our code of conduct, additional documentation and more.

Violations affecting/coming outside RecapTime.dev

If we receive a violation report that either affects or comes from other communities, we have limited moderation powers over what’s happening outside our spaces, either public or within internal channels. This is usually the case when reporting content from other homeservers in the fediverse, in which coordination between homeserver admins and mods is required.

If that’s the case, a member from our moderation team will simply forward your case on your behalf anonymously unless you allow us to share your contact information with other moderators outside of our spaces. See also this FAQ entry on the Contributor Covenant website for context.

In case of a previous issue that caught our attention (or was found during an investigation), we’ll look into it and evaluate any options. This doesn’t mean we’re “digging your grave” for your past mistakes and controversies (see above) unless it’s involving grave misconduct, especially involving current trusted community members (maintainers, moderators) and core team members.
