PolicyKit

Consider the platforms we use for online communities today. These platforms only offer governance options that are top-down, autocratic, and punitive, involving admins and mods. But what if platforms could provide other types of governance, such as more democratic ones? What if communities could build for themselves the governance that suits their needs and values?

PolicyKit is a governance-authoring application built with PolicyKit that leverages Metagov Gateway's open-source API gateway.

PolicyKit currently supports governance-authoring on Slack, Reddit, and Discourse through custom-coded policies for each platform. See the PolicKit documentation for more information on how to write a policy, and the Metagov Gateway documentation on how to extend those policies using the Gateway plugins. Discord support is in development.

Installing and Developing PolicyKit

See the PolicyKit Read The Docs for installation instructions.

You can learn more about PolicyKit and its origins in Elinor Ostrom's framework of commons governance in the PolicyKit team's ACM UIST 2020 paper and video.
