We are aware of a yearly virtual convention called OtherCon, chaired by an individual known in the community as Dinocanid. While we were initially rather excited by the prospect of a convention focused primarily on the communities we serve, at this time, Kinmunity is unable to support this event due to privacy and security concerns along with the discriminatory conduct of the event's staff and management team. The event is managed in a way that goes against Kinmunity's Bill Of Rights as well as the spirit of inclusivity and acceptance that Kinmunity hopes to foster as a community. Additionally, our staff team have identified various security and privacy concerns with the OtherCon website and the way in which age verification is implemented at OtherCon. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that our members do not attend the convention.
Our members are free to make their own choices of which communities, websites, and events to be a part of - if you choose to enjoy OtherCon, we hope that you use a unique password on their website that you don't use anywhere else, and that you do not use their identification card upload system to verify your age. Additionally, we have listed OtherCon on our unsafe resources list. As such, we will not permit the advertising of OtherCon or its events anywhere on our site going forward. We apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause. We really wanted to be able to support this event, but unfortunately, we cannot until changes are made to ensure everyone is treated fairly with respect and dignity, and that privacy and security of their attendees are respected.
