I think this is a good proposal, and it might make sense for some topics/rooms in general to have guidelines that actively steer people away from hot topics. but I'd like to think that we can avoid this yet right here right now; we are a pretty small group and I'm pretty sure we can have difficult conversations but learn from them. I would agree we need to define standards of civility when dealing with disagreement; this is actually a core goal of the Agora, even if unfortunately I have personally invested very little on this in the last two years! perhaps this is a good point to pick that back up? we could just node [[contract]] further to begin with. - [[2022-05-14 08:14:01]] [[@vera:fairydust.space]] ([link](https://develop.element.io/#/room/!WhilafaLxfJNoigHCj:matrix.org/$PH94wkP2ikLmW5kaWltrbWzhT6rYiaDc8rvOjBgr_R8)): - speaking of which I cryptographically signed my [[contract]] with [[keybase]]
