Thanks for starting this!
This is one of the areas where EAās community aspect and professional aspect may have some conflicts. I think people joining should expect some possibility of stigma e.g. from future employers and colleagues. (Not because I have any specific knowledge of this happening in EA, but just seems like a thing that happens in the world.)
Making pseudonymous accounts might be a good idea.
Hm, good to know, do you think this will even be a problem on a Discord server though? Unless employers specifically join the server in order to rule candidates out the information wonāt be super accessibleācertainly not from just performing a search on the candidateās name. I also think we should have rules, including Jasonās suggestion, that officially ban this behavior.
My experience in EA is that people who eventually become your funder or your boss were your peers /ā people you saw around the community a few years before.
Got it, it still doesnāt seem like that will be much of a problem on a dedicated Discord server like this, I donāt think a critical mass of founders will just randomly wander onto an addiction specific Discord server, but I can pass along the advice to be safe.
Iām glad youāre doing this, and think itās a great idea. One small point: most eating disorders (a broad category) are not addictions, although some share features with addiction. Given this, I suspect that most people with eating disorders have had pretty different illness experiences than most people with addictions, and might benefit from different recovery group activities. (Obviously, people can decide for themselves whether the group is helpful.) Kudos again for starting this.
Interesting, thanks for the information! My own experience with someone very close to me with an eating disorder has looked very familiar to me since becoming an addict myself, so it always seemed like it made sense to categorize them together. I guess my final and most important reason for wanting to include it though is just that we have someone who joined the server with an eating disorder, and wanting to know if they could count. Given this I plan to stick by my judgement, even if it means that technically the group is more āaddiction and some related mental health disordersā rather than just āaddictionā.
You should consider setting forth one explicit interim norm: no disclosure or use of Discord/āmeeting information outside the Discord/āmeeting, except as required by law or to prevent a substantial risk of significant harm to self or others. (Of course, people should be aware that your ability to enforce that norm is limited at best.) The group could decide to change the normābut any changes should be prospective only to the extent the changes are less protective.
Good idea, Iāll edit the post.
