I love this! I’ve noticed first-hand that it is so much easier to call out problematic language in communities where inclusive language guidelines are already set out than to do this in communities which are basically lawless and only have a minimal “just be nice to each other” CoC.
These days I honestly just try to stay away from communities that don’t already have a commitment to inclusive language in place. Everyone makes mistakes, and that’s okay. The problem is when they’re not seen as mistakes but standard by the community at large.
Yes! This is what drew me to supporting the EddieHub community. Do you have any other webdev or devrel communities you would suggest? I'm always looking for more for myself and to have resources to share.
tbh every community I’ve ever been in has fallen flat in some way, but I’ve found some that are better than others. When it comes to tech communities, I quite enjoy Virtual Coffee and LGBT in Tech for those who are queer.
