Unavailable Content and Instance ModerationWe have blocked a number of Japanese instances media due to some forms of loli content being legal in Japan but illegal elsewhere. Given our server is located outside of Japan we took a pro-active stance on blocking media as a "just in case" moment. This does
not mean you cannot interact with these instances, simply their media will not be cached or shown on our instance.
Some instances we have chosen to remove from our federated timeline. You can still follow accounts on these instances and if you follow a user on one of the instances that does not appear on our federated timeline, their posts will show in your
personal timeline. These are mainly instances that tend to be busy and/or are known for overloading our federated timeline with posts.
Some instances we have chosen to block outright. Most of these instances are full of illegal content, hate speech and more. We've also blocked instances that have run harassment campaigns against others in the past. You will
NOT be able to interact with these instances from our instance.
Instance rules
- 3-5 photo posts per day recommended to avoid overloading the timeline
- No illegal content (no porn, underage revealing, etc) Artistic portraits are fine. Admins decision is final.
- Keep it civil. Best to avoid contentious political or religious debates. There are other instances for that.
- Absolutely no anti-vaxx, conspiracy theory bullshit. This isn't the place for it.
- Images in your posts must be your own work. (ok to boost others though)
- Generated AI* art is not permitted without being clearly labelled as such, AND being hidden behind a CW (Content Warning).
* does not refer to AI tools used in processing, eg Topaz, DXO, Lightroom's denoise tools, etc.
