Okay, so in addition to interi reset --hard, I’m also kinda resetting what talkgroup is, because honestly I’ve never been good at describing it. In large part it is because I don’t like doing things by myself.
Whoa, insight alert!
I like momentum, and I my energy is amplified by others. However, I’ve kinda come to a point where I’ve, I don’t know what it, um, grown? I’ve grown out of it. Out of boredom.
Also, when I do things, those actions seem to cause a lot of ripples, some of which make their way back to me, so that’s not bad.
Okay, what does that have to do with the TERMS?! Well, in the past I wanted to collaborate and decide together what talkgroup is. But it is obvious that I have the power, I either technically can’t or lazily won’t share it, and therefore am a terrible dictator at worst, but if I am my list of demands aren’t gonna make a lot of sense!!1!
Here’s what I want everyone who posts here to agree about:
- It’s all in the public domain. Copyright is not a game we play in this space. But if this is your first rodeo, we ought to give some pointers.
- Humans are capable of being kind and nice to each other, and we demand it of participants in this space. We all contribute to the safe space. We all open ourselves up to knowing other people, even parts that are scary, confusing, or outside our comfort, but we all fall back on kindness.
- This is a social documentation experiment. It is usually incredibly stable; but no promises.
So I figure I’m gonna write some fancier version (ha, one hopes!) of those three points, and then it is in, um, community version control. I’m pretty sure it will be an open topic that folks can comment on, and we’ll go from there. We literally have polling in place, operator is standing by!
