Code of Conduct
Dysfunction is a space where hackers from around the globe can come together and smash together blocks of code like children playing with legally distinct toy bricks. But even playgrounds have rules — and ours exist to ensure everyone can enjoy themselves.
We expect all participants to follow these rules across all official Dysfunction spaces — including, but not limited to, our website, Codeberg organisation and repositories, Bluesky and Mastodon pages, and any other official channels — in accordance with platform-specific rules and applicable law.
Be respectful.
- Show respect and kindness to your fellow hackers, even during disagreements.
- Use welcoming and inclusive language.
- Respect others' identities, experiences and boundaries.
- Accept constructive criticism gracefully.
Don't misbehave.
The following are NOT WELCOME in any Dysfunction space, including this website, our Codeberg org, social media accounts and other official channels.
- Harassment, bullying or discrimination in any form.
- Personal attacks, threats, or abusive language.
- Deliberate misgendering or use of derogatory slurs.
- Doxxing or sharing private information without consent.
- Spamming, trolling or repeatedly derailing discussions.
- Unwelcome sexual attention or advances.
- Disruptive behaviour that interferes with the community.
If you're unsure whether or not something is inappropriate, always show respect. Dysfunction has no tolerance for intolerance.
Your work must be your own.
Submitting code or documentation generated by machine learning algorithms (or "artificial intelligence" ) is disallowed. We expect all contributions to be authored by you, not an overcomplicated predictive text system.
Dysfunction Outc. is NOT a real company.
Despite our self-styling as a company, Dysfunction Outcorporated does not operate like one.
We are not a corporation, startup or business or legal entity. We're a community of hackers who enjoy creating and sharing software for fun, learning and mutual chaos.
We have no marketing department, legal department or corporate structure, nor do we need any of that.
