Protocols:
- This network is free to use.
- Users are free to know the underlying infrastructure behind this mesh network.
- Being part of this network is a responsibility: the network is available to those who centre its manifesto and who are committed to enacting the network’s anti-hate and anti-discriminatory priorities. As a community, this network prioritizes mutual respect, trust, safety, and comfort with one another.
- This network serves as a conduit, providing access to other resources and content. Use of the network should centre the manifesto as external content is considered to connect with.
- This network is fluid, responsive, and reliant on a variety of conditions: the ability to connect and provide access to the internet is not always guaranteed.
- Following the network’s anti-hate priorities, as well as those prompted by NYC Mesh: those utilizing this network agree to use the network in good faith, and to: “not transmit contents that might jeopardize the well being of other participants or operation of the network itself, including, but not limited to illegal content, unsolicited communications, and malicious software.” (NYC Mesh)
- A key question at the heart of this network continues to be: what kind of space should this network take? Please centre this question as you participate across it.
- As the project develops, we hope that participants will connect new nodes to the network, extending in multiple directions and on to many others following these terms of service.
- While this network operates using standard protected access, users should remain aware of and vigilant about their own security when using this and any network. As with most online networks, operate under the assumption that your data is not 100% safe: here are some tips you can use to keep your data and information protected while using this network
- While this network strives to be responsible to participants, given the nature of the project, the network is ultimately not responsible for the actions of participants across it.
