Harbor Counties, in our own words

Everyone who said yes to our public list, in the order they said it. Each entry is that person’s own page, parsed when they said yes, with their verification level beside their name. There is no score and no sorting.

The charter

A community for people who practice consensual non-monogamy, or are learning to, in the harbor counties. Friends first, dating when both people want it. Describe how you practice in your own words. Nothing here tells anyone who you are dating.

    Mae’s page is about drumming, and that is what this list shows. Nobody here has to explain how they practice before they are welcome.

Pages are shown as text. Photos, if anyone has them, stay on their own pages §2.5.

Ask the list

A plain question

A question over the list’s file. Only people who said yes are in it, so only they can come up. It looks for your words in each person’s own words and tags; it does not guess, and it does not rank. Answers appear in the order people said yes.

Try:

Nothing was sent. This is an example, answered in this page from the manifest.

People, not a ranking

A vouch counts here, and only here

When someone cannot or would rather not verify by email or OAuth, Lux or Søren can vouch for them, because they know them. That vouch is local to this Pool §4.4: it counts on this list and nowhere else. Today nobody here is vouched for; everyone signed in with email or OAuth, and it says so beside each name §4.5.

Here is the gap, plainly. In Kindling v0.1 only a curator can vouch. Tamsin knows Gabe better than anyone on this list, and she cannot vouch for him here, because she does not curate it. Partners and metamours are often the people who know each other best. The Orchard Street Household works around it by making every member a curator of their own household Pool. How that works, and its limit. We think this deserves an RFC; our notes toward one.

Where a vouch from Lux would count

  • Harbor Counties · where Lux or Søren vouched
  • Solo Poly Supper Club · Søren curates it, and would have to vouch there himself
  • The Orchard Street Household · only its own three curators can vouch there
  • Any Pool on another site · a vouch never leaves the Pool it was made in

Who can write to whom

Each person’s rules, checked

Each row is checked in this page against the recipient’s own preferences and the list’s two block lists, the way a compliant client would §7.

Our other public Pool

Solo Poly Supper Club

For people who practice non-monogamy without a nesting partner. A supper on the second Sunday and a list of people who get it. Friendship first.
