Lemmy.nz Code of Conduct [DRAFT]

Hi all, thanks for all the feedback today. I have put together this code of conduct as a starting point. We can of course modify it over time as needs change, but it would be good to hear if this is on point based on the discussion, or if it needs more work.

Based on suggestions in the feedback thread, I'm proposing this does not go in the sidebar itself. Instead, we keep the current rule "Don't be a dick", and link to this code of conduct. A simple, single rule; more clarity for those that need it.

Please let me know what you think:

Welcome to the Lemmy.nz! We are dedicated to fostering a positive and inclusive environment for all members. To ensure a respectful and enjoyable experience, we require that you adhere to the following code of conduct:

1. Don’t be a dick: Treat all members with respect and kindness. Avoid personal attacks, harassment, discrimination, hate speech, or any form of abusive behavior. No promotion or encouragement of suicide, self-harm, or violence against others.
2. Good faith participants only: No trolls, no nazis, no tankies.
3. Respect Privacy: Do not share personal or confidential information about others (doxing).
4. No Spamming or Advertising: Avoid excessive posting of the same content or advertisements.
5. No disinformation: Posting of harmful disinformation is not allowed.
6. Report Inappropriate Behaviour: If you witness any violations of the code of conduct or encounter any other issues, report them to the community moderators or administrators. Help us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all.

Failure to comply with this code of conduct may result in temporary or permanent ban, as determined by the moderators or administrators.

This code of conduct was developed in conjunction with the community. If you need more context to understand what the community deems to be acceptable, please see this thread.
