A Mastodon instance for anyone interested in neuroscience, from cell biology to electrophysiology to behavior to clinical applications, anyone is welcome!

This is a Mastodon server for discussing neuroscience and related topics. We welcome all humans who are interested in how the nervous system works. This includes research neuroscientists in academia and industry as well as artists, educators, students, and others who are exploring neuroscience in their life and work.

Although this server is focused on neuroscience, you're open to post about other topics of interest as well. The vibe of this server is a cafe conversation, where the topic might shift from fly connectomics to issues in psychiatry to shared knitting hobbies. Let's get to know each other!

Encouraged uses of Synapse Cafe

• Share your discoveries
• Share your work-in-progress
• Talk about your experiences learning or applying neuroscience
• Share summaries of articles you've read
• Discuss current issues in neuroscience
• Discuss relevant issues in academia and industry

Longevity of the server

We commit to maintaining this server for the foreseeable future. The server itself is hosted on a computer through Hertzner which is backed up daily to prevent data loss. We can cover the current server costs (about $50 / month), but if the server needs to scale further we will ask for donations. We currently anticipate maintaining this server for years. However, in the case that we need to close the server down, we will provide at least 3 months notice to give you time to migrate.

Domain blocking policy

Our goal in blocking domains is to reduce attacks on users as well as remove hateful content from the federated timeline. We will add new domains to the block list by monitoring #fediblock, the block lists of similar servers, and based on user reports.

Welcome to the 8th Layer of Madness
Most topics are related to Linux, Anime, Music, Software and maaaany more

PS: BSD is also welcome 😜

To keep this Project running and up-to-date you can support me on PayPal and Patreon.
There is also external Monitoring by Uptimerobot for this instance

Code of Conduct (TL;DR form)

The one big rule here is "Don't be a dick".

Some more specific rules here are:

• Respect each other (really, EVERYONE)
• follow Human Rights (pretty please?)
• Tag your explicit content
• Do not use explicit (NSFW, NSFL) avatars and profile headers
• No commercial accounts (promoting your own work is absolutely ok)

Also some not so specific rules:

• Please post NSFW content unlisted
• If you crosspost regularly (or just RTs), please post as unlisted
• Please don't leave you account alone while crossposting (it could be silcenced)

This list may be extended if needed, so don't push it. If you are deemed violating these rules (or their interpretations), you are subject to moderative actions like silencing or banning

Little addition for Bots

They should:

• Be marked as such (Bot-Flag)
• Please post as unlisted

Server is hosted in Germany by Hetzner. So please ... respekt the German laws.

PS: And yep, I mean the 8th ISO/OSI layer :P

Code of Conduct (long form)

Scope and Audience

This policy is for users who have their accounts on layer8.space.

Our instance is only available to users for personal use. Accounts with a commercial background should look elsewhere. Promoting your own work is okay, as long as it is not the focus of your account.

Intent and Remedies

Our guiding principle for remedies is that of intent and willingness to correct ones own behavior. It is okay if you fuck up. But we expect you to correct your behavior as soon as we point it out.

Please approach the moderation team with any issues or questions about this policy, or any other policy in this document. We're always happy to expand in the rationale of these policies and provide advice about being excellent to each other.

If you disagree and reject our requests to fix your behavior, maybe this isn't the right instance for you.

Banned Content

Content that is illegal in Germany is subject to suspensions.

Prohibited Content

We have a zero-tolerance policy against bigoted behavior. This especially includes, but is not limited to racism, sexism, xenophobia, antisemitism, islamophobia and transphobia.

This Instance is sometimes viewed in corporate environments, so all avatars and profile headers should be held in a SFW ("Safe for Work") manner.

Do not argue for the existence or relevance of reverse-racism or reverse-sexism. Racism and sexism are deep structural issues with culture and not the expression of single persons.

Crossposting

Crossposting from other social media accounts like your personal Twitter is considered no problem. But the posts which are visible in the instance timeline should be your own and not something like Retweets.

You also can crosspost retweets, but they should be posted as "unlisted". If you mostly post from twitter, then please also monitor you account over here to see reactions to your posts or other messages.

If we believe that your account is left alone and ist just filling the local timeline, you are subject to be silenced from the local timeline.

Content Warnings

We ask all users to make use of the Content Warning ("CW") feature in Mastodon extensively. While this is a hard requirement for any adult or disturbing content, particularly involving discussion about prohibited content, we highly encourage using it as a general disclaimer regarding the content of your toot.

If someone asks you to add a warning to a particular type of content, it is generally a good idea to follow through.

Personal Pronouns

We encourage you to add your pronouns to your profile if you want them to be used and also check your fellow users profiles for pronouns before engaging in conversation with them.

Discussions and Debate

If you want to start an argument, it is better to ask if the person you're engaging would be interested in hearing your take first. We're trying to build a space where conversations are held in a contructive manner. When you're asked to disengage, do so.

Code of Conduct

(For the rules scroll down below!!)

This Code contains the rules and principles for participating in the Musicworld.social community. It is intended to protect all members of our community from harassment and to ensure that our community is as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This is a working document, so the Musicworld.social team may amend it from time to time.

Goals

• Provide a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, political affiliation, or other similar characteristic.
• Create a supportive community, where people freely share their passions and are excited and positive about each other’s successes.
• Protect our community from harassment, malicious or illegal content and from individual members whose goals are to disrupt our community and promote their own self-interest at the expense of the community.

Principles that Guide us

• We are not a free speech zone. This CoC lays out expected standards of conduct and behavior. You cannot say or post anything that violates these rules or principles and remain a member of our community. You must follow this CoC. If you are looking for something else, please do. It is not here.
• The Moderators are not morality or thought police. Moderators are guided by this Code of Conduct. Post what you want, if what you post follows these rules, principles and the goals outlined above. Not every member of the community will appreciate controversial or explicit posts so use Content Warnings very liberally. We use Content Warnings so community members themselves can decide whether they want to see or engage with a post that may be controversial or explicit.
• Bullies, trolls and disruptors are not welcome in Musicworld.social. We will moderate accordingly.
• This is a voluntary community. You chose to be here. When you choose to join, you have implied that you agree with this Code of Conduct and will follow it.

Rules for posting

The rules you need to follow if you want to be a member of our community are stated below.

General guidance on posting and participating in Mastodon.world

• Do not post about inflammatory, controversial subjects without a Content Warning. Ideally, you would not post about inflammatory subjects at all. However, it may be acceptable to do so in some cases, but it is never acceptable to post inflammatory content without hiding the content behind an appropriate Content Warning.
• Do not post any type of nudity without a Content Warning.
• Regarding Spam: We are not your free advertising platform. If you are here only to sell your products or services, you will be removed. Occasional posts of commercial links are OK, but when the vast majority of a user's posts are commercial in nature, we regard the account as a Spam account. Moderators will evaluate reports of Spam on a case by case basis.
• Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour. Criticize ideas, never people.
• Do not report every post that upsets you. Please report posts that violate our rules but for others that you may find distasteful, or just don’t like, use the tools available to you. You can block the user or mute the conversation.

Moderation Principles

Reported content will be assessed on a balance of probabilities by the moderators. In other words, whether it is more likely than not that the content violates one or more of these rules. Moderators will suspend an account from mastodon.world when the user demonstrates that they have breached any rule several times, or if their content (including profile description) suggests that they are likely to continue to break the rules. The number of breaches leading to suspension is deliberately not defined. In egregious cases, one breach can result in suspension of the user account.

The moderation team takes a pragmatic approach to every report they receive - if they feel that a problematic post isn’t explicitly a breach of any of these rules but is inappropriate for Mastodon.world, the post will likely be removed. Users who repeatedly post problematic content or otherwise are seen by the moderators as a negative, disruptive presence in our community can be removed at the discretion of the moderation team, even if those posts or the user did not explicitly violate our rules.

Donations & Finances

Musicworld.social is run by @ruud, who also pays the bills.
Since the November 2022 user influx, those bills have gone up quite steeply.
For those who would like to contribute, the following options for donations are available:

• OpenCollective (Either recurring or one-time donations) - Preferred.
• Patreon (Recurring donations only)
  

The running costs of Mastodon currently consist of:

• Hetzner server
• Hetzner backup server
• Hetzner cloud VPS for monitoring, blog etc
• Mailgun e-mailer
• Wasabi storage

Monthly updates about the finances can be found at our blog

1. No illegal content, e.g. child pornography, solicitation of illegal services, etc…
2. No posts or links to content supporting, featuring, or promoting hate groups, terrorism, mass violence or calls to violence.
3. No posts or comments supporting or promoting QAnon related content or similarly disproven conspiracy theories. Moderators have sole discretion to decide if a post violates this rule. Birds are real. The Earth is round. Get over it.
4. No posts or links featuring sexualized depictions of minors, whether photographic, written, drawn, anthropomorphic or animated.
5. No pornography featuring depictions of rape or non-consensual violence.
6. All other pornographic, erotic or NSFW content, whether photographic, written, drawn or animated, must be marked with a Content Warning.
7. No racism.
8. No visual content depicting executions, murder, suicide, dismemberment, visible innards, excessive gore, or charred bodies. All other violent imagery requires a Content Warning.
9. No visual content depicting animal abuse. All other posts related to animal abuse require a Content Warning.
10. No posting of malicious links.
11. No Spam (see Code of Conduct above).
12. No threats, bullying or attacks on an individual or group.
13. No encouragement or promotion of self-harm.
14. No accounts that impersonate anyone else unless clearly marked as such for the purpose of parody.
15. No Hate Speech. Hate speech is defined as derogatory posts or links targeting any individual or group based on race, mental or physical disability, religion, gender identity, sex, nationality, age, class or sexual orientation.
16. No “shitposting” - while humorous posts are allowed, and actually encouraged, there is no place for “shitposting” here.

این یک نمونه کوچک است، فضایی دوستانه و پذیرا برای همه کسانی است، که با شرایط همزیستی موافق هستند. ما نیاز به بازگشت به جامعه کوچک، محلی و اجتماعی را می بینیم، در حالی که شبکه های فدرالی ایجاد می کنیم که به ما امکان می دهد با جوامع دیگر در سراسر جهان ارتباط برقرار کنیم. می‌خواهیم راه‌های جدید، اخلاقی‌تر، منصفانه‌تر و آزاد داشته باشیم.کل جامعه به صورت داوطلبانه مدیریت می شود. هزینه‌های اجاره کارساز را که از ابزارها پشتیبانی می‌کند، حمایت مالی و همینطور حمایت متقابل و کاملاً داوطلبانه است. در بحث‌های انجمن و مجامع، آینده جامعه خودمون را ترسیم می کنیم.

عشق، انصاف و برابری.

شرایط همزیستی:

1: به این که چگونه باید همه جنبه‌های رفتار دیگران رو مدیریت کنیم، فکر نمی‌کنیم. از طرف دیگر نمی‌خواهیم منابع جمعی ما برای ترویج اید‌ه‌هایی که با ارزش‌های ما مغایرت دارند، استفاده شود.همیشه به صورت جمعی تصمیم گیری می‌شود.

2: توضیحاتی را به تصاویری که منتشر می کنید اضافه کنید تا برای افرادی که دارای تنوع عملکردی بصری یا شناختی هستند قابل دسترسی باشد.

3: نظرات تحقیرآمیز، توهین آمیز و حملات شخصی به سایر کاربران، یا محتوایی که به قصد آزار، تحریک یا ایجاد سوء تفاهم است، تحمل نمی‌شود.

4: انتشار مستمر پیام هایی که هدف آنها ایجاد سردرگمی یا دستکاری افکار در مورد موضوعات حساس برای جامعه است. سخنان نفرت انگیزی که به طور خاص باعث تحقیر گروه های تحت ستم می شود یا تنوع انسانی را تهدید می کند (به طور کلی به عنوان مثال: قومیت ها، زبان ها، فرهنگ ها، جنسیت ها، هویت ها.). هیچ گونه مزخرفات جناح راست و هیچ گونه توجیه‌تراشی برای جناح چپ خودکامه مجاز نیست. هیچ گونه اطلاعات نادرست یا نظریه‌های توطئه مجاز نیست. هیچ گونه گفتار شوونیستی و متعصبانه. هیچ گونه ستایش از کشورهای ملی یا نظامی گری مجاز نیست.

Non-profit, ad-free social media for social scientists. Join thousands of social scientists here and across the fediverse.

sciences.social is an online community for social scientists. Users here can connect with one another and the millions of other Mastodon users who have opted for social media that is ad-free and actively moderated to keep bad actors at bay. Here's how to get started.

1. Create an account

Create an account to get started. You will need to provide information about yourself so we can approve your account. After we approve, you'll be asked to agree to some ground rules. You can post about almost anything on sciences.social, but we don't allow sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, casteism or abusive behavior.

Once you confirm your email you'll be online. Come on back to this page (sciences.social/about) for next steps.

2. Get an app

Ice Cubes for iOS and Tusky for Android are very good and free. Mona and ivory are excellent apps for iOS/Mac users with a few dollars to spare.

Mastodon also works well from a web browser on laptops and desktops. A browser extension like Graze (chrome, mozilla) or FediAct (chrome, mozilla) will make following folks from other Mastodon servers seamless. Highly recommended.

3. Follow lots of folks

Thousands of social scientists are active on Mastodon, and you can follow anyone regardless of which server they call home. There's no algorithm to fill your feed with content so it helps to follow liberally. Our companion site find.sciences.social makes it easy to find and follow academics from many different disciplines including Sociology, Communication and Media Studies, and Political Science. Followgraph finds folks who are popular among the people you already follow.

You can also follow hashtags like #ASA2023 to see what people are posting about the conference. Or follow #rstats for hints on R and #AcademicChatter for - you know. Or maybe just #NaturePhotography for some pleasant views.

4. Start Posting and Boosting

Introduce yourself with your first post, and include an #introduction hashtag. Post about whatever you want, and use hashtags to make finding your posts easier. If you see a post you like, boost it. There's no algorithm to amplify selected voices here so we rely on boosting to see what's interesting.

More about us

sciences.social welcomes all social scientists, including professors, grad students and anyone with a graduate degree in the social sciences (sociology, anthropology, political science, communications, economics...), including people who are doing qualitative and quantitative work inside or outside academia. We want this to be a comfortable place for social scientists from all backgrounds, including those who are from marginalized or racialized groups, sexual minorities, people with disabilities and others who may not feel welcomed in some academic spaces.

sciences.social is collectively funded. It was started by Mark Igra (@markigra), a PhD student who earned enough money to start the site in a previous career. While Mark will continue to ensure sciences.social is funded, donations have helped pay for the rapid growth of the site. We encourage you to donate through Ko-fi

Mark runs this site with the help of a crew of moderators (Pratik, Kristian, and Simon. Let us know if you would like to help out.

Policies

At the moment, the official rules are deliberately minimal, but they have important implications. First, if you don't understand that "treat people with respect" means no sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or casteism and precludes abusive behavior and doxxing, then you don't belong on this site. Second, you must use your real name in your profile and we strongly encourage using your full name as your display name. While there are plenty of good reasons for anonymity on the internet, for our purposes being able to link online reputation to real-world reputation is important.

Post Visibility

Public posts appear on the local timelines and federated timelines of sciences.social and all other mastodon instances that host your followers. Consider using Unlisted for posts you want your followers to see, but would prefer not to appear in public timelines. Using Unlisted for replies is strongly encouraged.

Posts expressing racism, homophobia and the like are not allowed with or without a content warning or with any level of visibility.

Sensitive Media

You must mark media as sensitive if it contains violence or sexual content. We also request that you mark media as sensitive if it might trigger common phobias including arachnophobia (fear of spiders) and Ophidiophobia (fear of snakes).

Getting along

Folks come here from different academic, ethnic and national cultures, so there are likely to be some mismatches in tone when we talk to one another. People might be more blunt than you are used to, or you might think someone is frustratingly obtuse when they are just trying to be polite. It's best to presume that folks here are acting in good faith. Mastodon has good tools for filtering or blocking posts you don't want to see. However, if you think someone is deliberately violating the rules or negatively affecting the community as a whole, you can report them as described below.

Reporting bad behavior

One of the great strengths of Mastodon is the ability to restrict access to bad actors. sciences.social already blocks posts from dozens of sites known to host trolls and nazis, but there'll be other bad behavior. If you use the "Report" action on someone's post the moderators can review it and take action to restrict that account. Reporting helps even for people who make their home on other servers.

Content Warnings

Content warnings are an important part of both the technical infrastructure and the culture of the Mastodon online community. They aren't just used for "triggering" content but also are often treated as a “headline” that allows people to choose whether they want to read the whole post. Click the CW link on your post to set one.

We strongly encourage the use of content warnings for posts that you think might be triggering or of limited interest, for example mentions of death or violence, and political debates centered on one country or locality.

While expressions of racism, casteism, homophobia, and transphobia are off-limits, we do not require content warnings for posts about those topics and their effects on people, whether academic or otherwise. Use your own judgment about using content warnings on these topics.
