+# Code of Conduct
+
+xmpp-rs is a community whose goals are to empower people to communicate
+without any form of oppression or barriers. It does so by producing material
+targeted for the Jabber federated network. It promotes cultural diversity and
+international cooperation.
+
+We've drafted a list for the mediation team to use as a base when a conflict
+arises. This is the kind of content that we would like not to see within our
+community:
+
+- Racist, misogynistic, transphobic, homophobic, ableist slurs, or other
+  derogatory pejoratives for oppressed identity groups (unless you belong to
+  that group and are reclaiming the term).
+- Blatantly racist, casteist, ableist, sexist, transphobic, or otherwise
+  offensive and bigoted discourse.
+- Any form of stalking, harassing behavior, such as doxxing, evading blocks,
+  repeated hostile messages against a user or a server.
+- Symbols and slogans associated with fascist regimes and/or fascist or white
+  nationalist movements.
+- Pornographic and/or sexualized images.
+- Pedophilia content, in all its manifestations.
+- We do not accept colonialism, imperialism in all forms, and militarism.
+- Promotion of capitalism or meritocracy.
+- Cryptocurrencies or blockchains.
+- Messages promoting or encouraging pseudoscience, conspiracism, or breaks
+  with reality.
+- Arguments that seek to deny or cast doubt on historic or ongoing acts of
+  genocide.
+- Purposeful misinformation.
+- Religious proselytizing/recruitment.
+
+Reports are to be addressed to the mediation team, which corresponds to
+project maintainers if no specific team has been mandated.
+
+This is the kind of content that we would like to see within our community:
+
+- Assume good faith.
+- Be respectful.
+- Consider the space and the ability of others.
+
+This list is not exhaustive and the mediation team may decide to take actions
+disregarding the list if necessary.
+
+A member of the community not doing anything explicitly against the Code of
+Conduct may also be requested to leave if they take too much time and energy
+away from the mediation team.
