Long description
If you want an account, feel free to ask.

Pseudonyms are welcome and I will protect your anonymity and privacy to the best of my ability.

I will happily open this instance up and make it public if someone I trust wants to volunteer to be a full time moderator, but not otherwise.

If you’re thinking about blocking rants.au because these rules don’t explicitly forbid something, please take the time to ask first. Chances are that I will happily add rules if you need me to.
Instance rules
  1. Don't be a dick
  2. Don't get us defederated
  3. ...except by total dicks
