We Belong Here Discord Community

Lauren Lee edited this page Jan 20, 2021 · 1 revision

The We Belong Here Community Discord is intended to be an inclusive, welcoming, respectful place for us to connect, share resources, mentor, build community, and just hang out. The majority of us are career changers into tech, but not a requirement!

Admins

The following people have admin rights in the Discord. They are the people to talk to if you need help or if you have problems with or concerns about someone in the We Belong Here Community Discord. Feel free to contact them in a private channel.

  • @laurenelee (Lauren Lee)
  • more to come!

Policies

  • You are expected to adhere to the Code of Conduct.
  • You can invite new people to the Slack! You don't need to ask permission, but please consider whether the person will adhere to the Code of Conduct before inviting them.
  • Please set an avatar image! It doesn't need to be a photo of you.

Code of Conduct

We do not tolerate harassment of people in any form, including but not limited to gender, gender identity, and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, or religion. Expect action from an admin if you break the rules.

We do not have many rules, but they are:

  • Be nice
  • Conversations in certain channels, especially #career-help, are private and may be sensitive, and are not to be shared outside of the Discord, and only carefully outside of the channel itself. Members should be careful about sharing anything from the Discord, which should be considered privileged information.

Not being nice could include:

  • Feigned surprise. When someone says “I don’t know what X is”, you don’t say “You don’t know what X is?!” or “I can’t believe you don’t know what X is!”.
  • Well-actuallys. That is the pedantic corrections that don’t make a difference to the conversation that’s happening.
  • Trolling. Posting something for the sole purpose of starting an argument or annoying other people is not cool.

Reporting Concerns & Violations

  • If you have a problem or concern in the Discord (or you witness someone breaking the Code of Conduct) please open a private channel with the admins to discuss it.
  • If you have a problem or concern with one of the admins, please open a private channel with the other admins to discuss it. All conversations are confidential and will be taken seriously.
