The purpose of our WhatsApp community is to connect members digitally, through different topic- or activity-based subgroups. Most discussions are in English, but many of our members also speak German.
Guidelines for WhatsApp Community
💛 Respect: Be kind and respectful to one another. Offensive, derogatory, or inflammatory remarks are not tolerated. If you feel disrespected, please reach out to the community admins.
👁️🗨️ Privacy considerations: Be aware that members of a subgroup you are in can see your phone number and WhatsApp-name. Be mindful of what you share about yourself. We suggest that you display your first name or nickname, so others can recognize you. Don’t share any personal information of other members without their explicit consent.
🎯 Relevance: Share content that is relevant and beneficial to the group and avoid spamming. Before posting, think about which sub-group fits best for your topic. If no topic fits, use the ‘general’ chat. No advertising or self-promotion, unless approved by a community admin (recommendations without personal commercial gain are fine).
🤝 Responsibility: When you’re experiencing something difficult, be mindful of what you are sharing and try to ask specific questions, so that others can offer their support in the most effective and compassionate way. Avoid discussing sensitive topics that could lead to discomfort or conflicts, unless it is necessary and handled delicately.
🏥 Health advice: We’re here to support each other the best we can, but this community doesn’t replace professional medical advice. We can’t take responsibility for any advice shared here, so please consult with a qualified healthcare professional before making medical decisions. In case of an emergency please call 144 or contact your GP.
