How Off the Clock works

One community per site. It has its own identity (here, @off-the-clock.us) that owns every space. Admins act for the community; nobody owns it personally.

• A space is a room: general (everyone is in it, and profiles live there) plus one per group.
• Each space has members, a team of space admins, feeds, and optionally a policy and a directory profile.
• Some spaces are listed in the space directory; others are unlisted and only members know they exist.

• An admin grants you one or more spaces. Until you sign in and join, you are invited, not a member.
• Joining is your own record, so nobody can be made a member without agreeing.

• You sign in with your Atmosphere identity; Off the Clock never sees your password.
• What you post is written to your own repository on your own PDS, inside the community's permissioned space.
• Off the Clock's services index those records so members can read them; they don't own them.

• Every space has a default feed, Latest. Admins can add others, such as Events or Posts with media.
• Feeds are rules the admins write, not an algorithm tuned for engagement.

Membership is the main lever: who is in a space. Labels blur, warn, or hide content. Policies say what a space expects before you post. See Moderation and the Moderation Policy.
