Intro

We’re glad you’re here!

holi is a place where real civic engagement happens - in a safe and welcoming environment. We have set some rules in our Community Guidelines that we believe will help us all along the way.

We want to point out one important thing from the start:

We are inherently a platform for everyone. However, in order to prevent discrimination, we exclude those who actively treat others with intolerance. We are aware that holi's users hail from different contexts, use different words, pay attention to different things - and that therefore boundaries may be (unintentionally) crossed and hurtful behavior may quickly occur. We therefore urge you to pay attention to the context when you create content and Spaces: always stay lawful and respectful of others.

Our guiding principles:

These principles are explained in more detail below.

If you see our policies being violated, you feel uncomfortable, or are simply unsure about something you come across, you can report content directly or contact us.

We are still at the beginning. We simply don't have the answers to some topics or questions (yet), and we don't always want to decide amongst ourselves what is "right" and "wrong". holi is a growing platform, and in order to remain actionable in the future, we will evaluate our Community Guidelines regularly and adjust them if necessary.

How we imagine great interaction

holi is diverse, friendly and tolerant.

An appreciative and respective culture of discussion will lead to constructive discourse. We understand the exchange of different opinions and perspectives as an enrichment for social-ecological transformation and would like to create an emphatic and discrimination-sensitive space for this.

We create impact in real life. Be authentic on holi, too.

holi has one goal: to support real impact. On holi we want to foster trusting relationships between real people, which also means that there needs to be a certain level of transparency.

Together we’re working towards a livable future. Stay constructive and solution-oriented.

We value and foster an environment of trust and openness at holi. Diverse perspectives and a wide range of expertise are respected and integrated. We place our trust in all of you and firmly believe that by working together, we can create an inclusive and participatory ecosystem.

Stay legal!

Our moderation principles

Our moderation follows the principles outlined above. In order to maintain an interdisciplinary, diverse space that ensures the mental and physical integrity of our users, we consistently enforce our rules through active moderation.

⚠️ Any behavior, activity, content, person, or group that violates our Community Guidelines may be sanctioned (e.g., removed), either temporarily or permanently.

Personal boundaries differ from individual to individual. If a boundary violation is reported to us, we trust the sensibilities of the person involved. In doing so, we prioritize the safety of people with experiences of discrimination over the comfort of privileged individuals.

We want to create a platform where mistakes are understood as part of personal and societal growth on the path to a more just future. Therefore, we encourage our community to learn from their mistakes and evolve. This also means recognizing that holi does not operate in isolation from existing social power structures and that we need to take responsibility for how we deal with them. Reflecting on the (often privileged) positions from which we act and speak is a process that we are constantly working on.
