Gregory's Server@FediGarden why isn’t #islamophobia part of your “covenant?”

@FediGarden Thank you. One of the unspoken issues with Mastodon is the fact that omission is often interpreted as permission. Because islamophobia is rarely mentioned, many think it’s acceptable behaviour. It’s also a top-down problem, with admins and mods engaging in incredibly islamophobic behaviour. The broader community does nothing about it, because it’s not explicitly listed as offensive behaviour. |

There are a number of specific bigotries not on the list (including ableism etc) because I was trying to copy over the terms from the Mastodon Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant), in order to keep it as simple as possible for servers to comply.
I ought to expand the stated forms of bigotry, but would need to check with each server listed to make sure they comply with an expansion.
I'll try to work on this.
