Instance rules
- Free speech does not mean freedom from consequences.
No racism, sexism, queerphobia, transphobia, xenophobia or bigotry of any kind are allowed.
- Indiepocalypse has a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, dogpiling, bullying or doxxing.
- No NFTs, no crypto, no blockchain. There are crypto-related instances on the Fediverse that are better suited.
- The following content will be removed and will result in revocation of access to the service: sexual depictions of minors, beastiality, and promotion of Nazi symbolism and ideology.
- Promotion of your games, projects and storefronts *are* allowed and encouraged, but spam is not. Do *not* directly message users to advertise.
- Bots need to be approved by the admins or moderators of Indiepocalypse before being allowed.
- Sexually explicit or violent media must be marked as sensitive an/or hidden under a Content Warning (CW) when posting. Because they cannot be marked, all avatars, headers, and bio content must be appropriate for all audiences.
- Accounts for groups / organizations / brands / sites / doujin circles, et. al are welcome as long as they are indie. If you question if your group is "indie", feel free to ask!
- AI-created and AI-altered art and writing is generally **not** allowed on this instance. There are valid ethical concerns regarding what material is being used to train models for AI bots.
