InstaNode is a small, focused engineering community. We want everyone who participates — issue reporters, PR authors, reviewers, maintainers — to feel safe and respected.
- Be respectful in code review and issues. Critique code, not people.
- Assume good intent. Ask questions before making accusations.
- Keep discussions on topic. Off-topic and inflammatory threads will be closed.
- No harassment, personal attacks, discriminatory language, or unwelcome sexual attention.
Maintainers may close issues, lock threads, edit comments, or block accounts that violate these expectations.
Email security@instanode.dev to report a concern. We treat reports confidentially. We aim to respond within 72 hours.
These expectations apply to all project spaces — issues, pull requests, discussions, and any official InstaNode communication channel — and to public spaces when someone is representing the project.
This policy is intentionally short; we will lengthen it as the community grows.
