The Gamers' Tavern

Discord

Hey everyone!

A week and some more has passed since we announced the grand opening of our Discourse instance and we collected all of the precious feedbacks from the community, you can read about them in this post

Having said that, we wanted to let you know that soon we will start setting up Rocket.chat for our next test run.

Continua...

Hey everyone,

we’re approaching the end of the Discourse trial, as we originally discussed in The first alternative: Discourse.

We asked the users in the community their feedback and summarised them for ease of reading and to let us retrieve them later during the next test run(s).

Continua...

Following the previous post, having considered the alternatives proposed in the community (on Discord, oh the irony), we decided to fashion a few demos for the community to use and test, to allow us all to decide together which Discord alternative to pick.

Continua...

Rules Section Header

GENERAL

Respect towards others

It's fun to make fun of yourself when it's a game for both sides. Do not exaggerate or touch on sensitive topics that can easily offend the other person (religious, sexual orientation, etc.).

Respect the netiquette

Respect the sacred principles of netiquette as much as possible: find those here

Toxic behaviors

It makes no sense to be in The Gamer's Tavern with the sole purpose of insulting others and being toxic.

Aggressive behaviors

We want our community to be a welcoming and respectful space for everyone. To ensure that we ask you to express your opinions repectfully by:

  • avoiding instigating violence against individuals, groups, etc.;
  • avoiding personal attacks, insults, or needlessly aggressive tones.

ADDITIONAL RULES FOR MASTODON

Beware of sensitive topics

Use Content Warnings (CW) for sensitive topics as some topics can be difficult or triggering for others. Use a CW for subjects like:

  • violence;
  • politics;
  • mental health;
  • tragedies

or any other potentially sensitive discussions.

When in doubt, adding a CW is a good way to show respect for others.

ADDITIONAL RULES FOR PIXELFED

Post your original contents

Creators should only upload their own content. It's fine if you upload an image, photo or video containing fragments of other people's content but the overall content must be yours truly.

ADDITIONAL RULES FOR PEERTUBE

Post your original contents

Creators should only upload their own content. It's fine if you upload a video containing fragments of other people's content (maybe a reaction to something or analysis) but the overall content must be yours truly.

Disclose AI use

At The Gamers' Tavern, we celebrate the diverse ways creators express their passion for gaming. If your content includes AI-generated elements (e.g., music, video, voiceovers, etc.), this must be clearly noted in the video description. This ensures viewers are aware of the tools shaping their experience, allowing for informed engagement. This policy is subject to change as technology and community needs evolve.

ADDITIONAL RULES FOR DISCORD/MATRIX
