Testing our new diversity auto-bot

Hey all… just testing our new diversity message feature :nerd:

We have been in talks with members of minority groups and they have given us some valuable feedback. We discussed whether it would be worth having individual portals (so for example, a portal for female developers) but we eventually settled on having a single diversity portal - one where anyone from any minority group should feel welcome.

Although we haven’t set this portal up yet, we have created the diversity tag, and, to ensure these threads remain a safe place for our members, whenever a thread is tagged with diversity our little autobot will automatically post a note such as the one below.

Although the text is just a placeholder for now, it should hopefully give you an idea of what we intend for such threads :+1:

Hi, this is an automated message from your friendly Devtalk bot :nerd:

Please note this thread has been tagged with our diversity tag and all threads about equality and diversity have special status here on Devtalk.

This means that any threads promoting or supporting equality and diversity are only intended for those interested in supporting (or being supported) by our diversity initiative and portal. (For those who would like to ‘debate’ or comment negatively about such matters, please use an alternative platform).

A focus on equality and inclusivity has been built into the core of Devtalk, and so we have measures like this in place to help ensure this message is as clear as it can be, so that people from minority groups feel safe, and, nothing other than what they are, equals. Thank you for your understanding :blush:
