📙 Dealing with Toxicity in Online Communities

Toxic behaviours in your community can significantly impact the member experience. As community builders it's our role to ensure we are building a safe and supportive environment.

But if you're noticed poor behaviour that's negatively affecting the culture, how are you meant to manage it? What’s the best way to respond?

We found this article from Discourse, written by Co-CEO Sarah Hawk, super helpful to learn how to set solid terms of engagement and ground rules to deal with toxicity in your community. We hope it helps you on your way ✨

Plus have you heard of Discourse? They are the online home for your community. They make it easy to have meaningful conversations and collaborate anytime, anywhere. Special mention of the features they have for moderating and creating safe community spaces. Check them out.
