The team behind the new Contributor Covenant website faced a challenge: how to make adoption easy, without making it thoughtless.

Our new builder tool slows adoption to the speed of trust with specific prompts for communities to customize their reporting and enforcement guidelines, and directs adopters to resources and guides from industry experts on codes of conduct.

Biodiversity at risk from social media activities

"Liked to death? The social media race for nature photos can trash ecosystems – or trigger rapid extinction...Baiting, drones, poaching and trampling."

Hunting wildlife snaps
"Viral photos of undisturbed natural beauty can lead thousands of people to head there. As more people arrive, they begin destroying what they loved seeing on screen."

Sharing GPS locations
"In 2010, a new species of slipper orchid (Paphiopedilum canhii) was discovered in Vietnam. Photos with location information were posted online. Just six months after discovery, more than 99% of all known individuals had been collected. The orchid is now extinct in the wild."

POGO - #ModelCode of #Conduct for U.S. #SupremeCourtJustices: "Of all the country’s state and federal courts, only the Supreme Court lacks a #codesofconduct. Instead, existing rules found in the U.S. Code provide standards concerning #financialdisclosures and #recusals. But this set of standards is limited. And compliance with them, along with all other decisions related to #ethical conduct, is left to each Justice’s discretion." https://www.pogo.org/report/2023/03/model-code-of-conduct-for-u-s-supreme-court-justices

AO US Cts: "Judges, judicial employees nationwide are bound by #ethicslaws, prescribed #codesofconduct. These govern proper performance of official duties, limit certain #outsideactivities to avoid #conflictsofinterest. Under #JudicialConduct & Disability Act, chief judges and circuit judicial councils, & Judicial Conference of US when appropriate, investigate & resolve any submitted claim that judge “has engaged in conduct prejudicial to effective, expeditious admin of business of courts”

This is important for healthy communities and effective codes of conduct:

As a long time (13 or so years 😱) user of the site that must not be named, what happened to it happened so gradually, I didn't see it until I came here.

Visibility became more important than credibility and reasoned discussion.

Speed became more important than accuracy.

Quantity became more important than quality.

I tried to keep to a better code of conduct. I failed at that. I don't want to here. I want. #mastodon #socialmedia #codesofconduct #betterworld #hope #DoOver

By creating #hostile environments, disrupting career progression, and sowing distrust, these behaviors affect the integrity of scientific and medical practice. Improving #WorkplaceClimate requires effective policies and #CodesOfConduct as well as cultural change, and one way to do that is treat #harassment and other hostile behaviors with at least the same level of concern as data fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-99680-2_17
