Short description
A cozy, fast and secure Mastodon server where everyone is welcome. Run by the folks at ohai.is.
Long description
Hi! This is a general-purpose Mastodon server. It does not have any particular topic or target audience. Everyone is welcome to sign up as long as they are willing to follow our rules set out below.

In addition to the information provided below, we also have a blog and about page at about.ohai.social.

Support

The best way to get in touch for questions and issues concerning the server is through support@ohai.social.

Donations

We accept donations toward the operation of the server through Patreon.

Moderation team

There are currently three moderators for ohai.social:


Server status

You can check the current server status on our monitoring page at status.ohai.is.

Security & Backups

This Mastodon server is hosted on bare metal in a data center in the south of Germany. Two people have access to the infrastructure, and all SSH access is exclusively using hardware security tokens. We will never sell or otherwise use your data for anything other than the operation of this Mastodon server, and we certainly do not read your DMs.

All database data is backed up daily in a physically different location from the live data (Specifically, at BorgBase).

In the unlikely event that we will ever have to shut down the server, we intend to give at least 6+ months of notice ahead of the shutdown.

Best practices

The list below is a collection of behavior that we expect to see from our users. If you see a user go against these best practices in a way that bothers you, please file a report and we will talk to them. While these best practices are designed to be guidelines for a good communal instance, repeated malicious unwillingness to follow the best practices will be considered just like breaking a rule.



  • In general, use the tools provided to foster a considerate and accessible atmosphere. This includes the liberal use of content warnings (especially on potentially disturbing or controversial topics), and alt-text captioning of media files.



  • When possible, provide credit for creative works in your posts that are not your own.



  • Uninvited comments about another user's personal choices, lifestyle or family are strongly discouraged and may be considered harassment. Inappropriate sexual attention, comments about appearance and implication of physical contact will not be tolerated toward any non-consenting user.



  • If you post sexual content or gore, use content warnings.



  • If you post advertisements, use a content warning. Advertisements should not be excessive or automated.



  • Bots may only interact with a user when they're invited by that user to do so.



  • Automated posts and high-frequency posts should be unlisted (rendering visible to everybody, but not appearing on the local timeline) to keep the local timeline of our instance a place of community dialogue and human interaction. This extends to bots, feed posters, Twitter "retweets" and Twitter crossposts with broken mentions ("…@twitter.com"). Crossposter accounts that stop being active participants in our community may be removed at the discretion of the moderators.



  • In discussions, please remain civil, do not insult the people you're talking to. Note that irony, sarcasm, or similar modes of language don't translate well to written language and tend to escalate discussions or misunderstandings.


(These best practices were inspired by the Terms of chaos.social and bsd.network. Thank you!)
