edit: we've made an update to this post - see more here: https://cohost.org/staff/post/1627613-update-on-incoming-c
a while back we said that we were planning to update our community guidelines. we decided to do this both because we wanted to make a few changes and because of feedback we got from many of you. today, we're finally ready to share those changes with everyone. the new version has been in the works for the last few weeks and we spent much of that time consulting with some outside experts to make sure we got it right. we can't promise that what we've done will make everyone happy, but we think we've arrived at the right place for cohost.
these changes go into effect tomorrow, June 6, 2023. please note that we will not be enforcing any new rules on posts or comments made before this announcement.
as always, the most recent version of our community guidelines is available on cohost. we have also published a repo containing the full history of our community guidelines, terms of service, and privacy policy changes. this includes a full diff between the old and new community guidelines.
below the cut is a full changelog and our general reasoning for each of these changes. if you have any feedback, please feel free to comment below or shoot us an email at support@cohost.org. nothing here needs to be said and done; the community guidelines are a living document and your feedback means a lot to us. please be civil when discussing these changes.
