M6n.io is a home for Kubernetes and Cloud Native and fun, diverse tech people on Mastodon.

M6n is a home for Kubernetes, trans, and nonbinary folks in Mastodon. Started by Jaice DuMars, this small instance is co-moderated by Josh Berkus and Fabio Rapposelli. If Hachyderm is a little too busy for you, you may enjoy M6n. We hope you will find this a good place to post pet photos, tech news, political news, opinions, your latest culinary efforts, and jokes.

(M6n = M[astodo]n)

You'll notice that our rules are very simple. This is because we haven't found that extensive, detailed written rules are a substitute for active, dilligent moderation. This server is a place to be supportive of BIPOC folks, LGBT+ folks, all the genders, and worldwide citizens of the internet. If you don't feel like you can be supportive of folks who are different from you and doing their best, this is not the server for you.

"Be Kind" in our rules does not mean "be nice". Kindness is compassion, not an absence of rudeness; sometimes folks need strong language to share their pain. Just always remember that the person you're posting at is a human being -- as is the person you're replying to.

This server actively blocks servers known to be refuges for, or supportive of, discrimination and fascism of all types.

If you are looking to join M6n, your application should explain your relationship to open source, Kubernetes, Cloud Native technology, and/or our community. Applications which provide little or no detail will be rejected.

1. Be kind
2. No harassment or discrimination against vulnerable groups
3. No spam or phishing
4. NSFW / explicit content OK, just use warnings
5. No child sexual content of any kind
6. Don't make us make more rules

This is a server for the Belgian military community, to interact in a positive way with the general population on Mastodon.

This server is intended for friendly, constructive interaction between the Belgian military community and the general public.

Hosting of the site is provided for and paid by Jeroen, making this instance completely independent of Belgian Defence.

The name was thought up by @Gingerneer2 on Twitter and is a pun on "sociable" and the old name of Belgian Defence: "ABL = Armée Belge/Belgisch leger"

1. No content that is illegal in Belgium
2. No hateful conduct or incitement of violence
3. Adhere to the military values: integrity, respect, loyalty, and courage

Beach City is our private beach-side sanctuary for close friends and awesome folks. We are various flavors of trans, queer, non-binary, polyamorous, disabled, furry, etc.

Beach City Introduction

Hello Friend and thank you for checking out Beach City, our beautiful beach-side sanctuary on the internet. Beach City citizens are various flavors of trans, queer, non-binary, Black, POC, polyamorous, disabled, furry, etc. and all know at least a few of their neighbors really well!

We're a weird and mixed group of people here, but most of us are well known to someone else on the instance. If you wanna join us, send someone on here a message and ask. If you're a well-known friend of theirs, they might just help you get a link!

Not affiliated with Steven Universe nor Cartoon Network in any way. We just love them and are lightly theming our instance in a related way. If they ever complain about us, we'll probably switch to theming ourselves with 80s/vaporwave stylings.

Code of Conduct

1. This is an 18+ server. Do not join or request access if you are not 18 years of age. We will remove accounts that are not 18+ accordingly.
2. Treat others with respect, and be respectful in kind.
3. No systemic abuse such as sexism, racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, etc. When it comes to defining what constitutes "systemic abuse", the opinions of the marginalized are given priority at all times.
4. No unfocused misandry. This is due to its impact on non-binary, genderqueer, trans, disabled, PoC, queer, and otherwise marginalized men, several of whom are on our instance. Misandry focused at the top of the kyriarchy is not against the rules.
5. No harassment. Harassment campaigns may not be spread here, even against "valid" targets; this includes doxxing and dogpiling. If you must call someone out, do it elsewhere and link it here.
6. No Quote Tooting. On other social networks it's often used just to show off how horrible someone else is or to draw followers into an argument that should be one-on-one. Attempts to circumvent this through screencaps are prohibited.
7. Don't give unsolicited advice to others. Ask permission before making suggestions to folks.
8. CW sexually explicit content This includes images and text. All sexually explicit images must exclusively involve consent-capable adults. ("Consent-capable": If asked whether they'd like to pose for an adult photo, they would be capable of responding "yes", and that "yes" would be able to stand up in court of law.)
9. No scraping content from web interface or API.
10. No public twitter crossposting unless you're on beach city a lot reading and replying. If you are mostly crossposting and not reading, you may post unlisted.

These provisions notwithstanding, the administration of the service reserves the right to revoke any user's access permissions, at any time, for any reason, except as limited by law.

Content Warnings

Content Warnings are a tool to enable someone to opt-into your content. This is particularly useful when posting publicly, as opposed to unlisted. When you post publicly, your posts are received by people from this server and other servers that may not currently follow you.

If you don't want to deal with CWs, feel free to post unlisted! Unlisted posts work just like twitter and only go to your profile and followers and or people posts are boosted to.

To use content warnings, click the CW button when composing your toots. This will hide the main body of your toot behind a line of text text like a subject line.

Here at Beach City, sexually explicit content, graphically violent content, and similar are required to be CWed. We heavily suggest you also CW the topics below as well. Topics can get fuzzy, so as long as you're not malicious with it, it's fine.

• Sex and nudity
• Drugs, drug use
• Personal health, medical issues, hospitals
• Depression, anxiety, mental health issues, suicidal thoughts
• Food, weight loss, weight gain
• Death, funerals
• Violence of any kind
• Links to Facebook or Twitter
• Movie and TV show spoilers
• Selfies, eye contact

There are a number of other topics you might consider CWing, such as bigotry and politics, but this is something between you and your audience. It's okay to ask others to CW certain topics, but it's also okay to ignore requests for CWs. People who do not like your CW choices can choose to mute or block you or use filters.

Harassing users to CW their content, as well as demanding CWs from folks talking about their personal experiences of racism and other forms of bigotry, is against our rules and could result in being banned.

Staff

Our promise to you

We promise to do everything we can to avoid negatively impacting your social media experience. We will immediately block every single example of overt and explicit racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. We will be judicious about other forms of behavior we find unpleasant. We'll allow you to manage that yourselves, using your own personal block lists and mute lists. If you see a problem you think we need to act on as a server, report the user or toot that is a problem and we will act on it rapidly. We'll bias towards safety and act fast, but always be willing to step back from any mistakes we discover.

1. This is an 18+ server. Do not join or request access if you are not 18 years of age. We will remove accounts that are not 18+ accordingly.
2. Treat others with respect, and be respectful in kind.
3. No systemic abuse such as sexism, racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, etc. When it comes to defining what constitutes "systemic abuse", the opinions of the marginalized are given priority at all times.
4. No unfocused misandry. This is due to its impact on non-binary, genderqueer, trans, disabled, PoC, queer, and otherwise marginalized men, several of whom are on our instance. Misandry focused at the top of the kyriarchy is not against the rules.
5. No harassment. Harassment campaigns may not be spread here, even against "valid" targets; this includes doxxing and dogpiling, by way of quoting or linking directly to posts for harassment purposes. . If you must call someone out, do it elsewhere and link it here.
6. Don't give unsolicited advice to others. Ask permission before making suggestions to folks.
7. CW sexually explicit content This includes images and text. All sexually explicit images must exclusively involve consent-capable adults.
8. No scraping content from web interface or API.
9. No public twitter crossposting unless you're on beach city a lot reading and replying. If you are mostly crossposting and not reading, you may post unlisted.
10. New users must be known by an existing citizen. This is to cut down on the need to moderate internal users. Everyone has someone else they are accountable to. Existing users can invite anyone they know.

A small server for unstraight geeks into pop culture in general, and science-fiction and video games in particular.

This server will never be bigger than 100 people. That said, as long as the applications are open, we still have room. If you think you'd feel at home here, please apply!

A note from the admin: I'd like Club Unstraight to be a kind place, and you can't be kind without being vulnerable. During the application process you will be asked to introduce the person and the passion. You introduce the person by writing about three events that shaped you into the person you are today, and the passion by writing about things you'd like to discuss. Each answer should be max 500 characters, as these will be your pinned introduction toots.

1. Be civil. Treat others with respect, like you would if we were in the same meatspace. This includes intolerance against minorities. We're here to discuss and learn, not to hate.
2. Assume good will. We're all here for the same reason: to learn, to socialize, to discuss our passions and ideas.

A general instance for Procursus, contributors, and everyone else!

Welcome to procursus.social!

We run a general Mastodon instance for Procursus, contributors, and everyone else!

What’s special about this instance?

The Procursus Mastodon instance has a focus on reliability and speed, as well as continued and constant support. We are a smaller instance, but we are scaled to reliably support thousands of users, and terabytes of media. We will NEVER delete cached posts, and we only removed cached media after a full year (it will be re-cached if needed). We have also made some changes to Mastodon specific to our server, such as increasing toot size to 5k characters! We are going to continue making this server as great as possible for the amazing developers and users here, with stellar, immediate support.

For the safety of users on our instance, we regularly import the latest FediNuke and Garden Fence instance blocklists. Other instances may also be blocked at our discretion should we find that they encourage offensive content.

Want to join?

procursus.social is a smaller instance, and we try to keep it clean! If you’d like to join, we’d love to have you. Just sign up, and make sure you put something in the "reason" related to your interests, so we can make sure you’ll be a great fit for our instance!

procursus.social isn’t a support website. If you’re looking for help with jailbreaking, try /r/jailbreak.

1. Be kind
2. No hate, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc
3. Flag NSFW Content
4. Moderator Discretion

A place for people who are chronically ill, mentally ill, disabled, and friends/families/allies to come together, meet, share knowledge and random banter, and just about anything else.

There has been some concern expressed from members of the disability community on Twitter over people that have been blocked by some of the people running disabled.social. People who have been blocked over on Twitter either individually or as part of a block chain, are welcome here. The admins and moderators will not be personally blocking anyone on disabled.social unless there are threats of violence or overt defamatory claims made (which is a rules violation, and your account will be handled accordingly). There are several of us running this instance, so if there is an issue you need to raise, hopefully there is someone here that you are comfortable speaking with.

ALL are welcome here.

Sign Ups

When signing up, please indicate both why you want to join disabled.social and more importantly, how you plan to use the instance.

We have many organizations, charities, non-profits, adaptive tech developers, attorneys, medical providers with businesses, etc. interested in joining the instance, and we want to understand how you plan on using our space which is intended as a support space for disabled people.

We do not allow marketing to disabled people or mining them for your own commercial gains under any circumstances.

Failure to answer how you plan to use the instance will result in rejection of your application.

Rules

"Be excellent to each other" is easier said than done, and means different things to different people.

The following rules are a (non-exhaustive) list of behaviors that may lead to deletion of toots, silencing or suspension of accounts, at the discretion of the instance moderators, as described in our Terms.

Please report offensive behavior to the contact email address provided. Reports will be kept confidential.

• We do not tolerate discriminatory behaviour or content promoting/advocating the oppression of members of marginalised groups. These groups may be characterized by any of the following (though this list is naturally incomplete): Ethnicity or race; Gender identity or expression; Sexual identity or expression; Physical characteristics or age; Disability or illness; Nationality, residency, citizen status; Wealth or education; Religious affiliation, agnosticism, or atheism; Neurodivergence
• We do not tolerate threatening behavior, stalking, or doxxing.
• We do not tolerate harassment, including block evasion, brigading, dogpiling, or any other form of contact with a user who has stated that they do not wish to be contacted.
• We do not tolerate mobbing, including name-calling, intentional misgendering, or deadnaming.
• We do not tolerate violent nationalist propaganda, fascism, Nazi symbolism, or promoting the ideology of National Socialism.
• We do not tolerate conspiracy narratives or other reactionary myths supporting or leading to the above-mentioned (and/or similar) behavior.
• Scientific discussion is critical to our community. However, conspiracy theories related to anti-vaxx and COVID19 without any scientific basis will not be tolerated.

Actions intended to damage this instance or its performance may lead to immediate temporary or permanent account suspension.

Content that is illegal in the United States will be deleted and may lead to immediate account suspension.

General Best Practices

The list below is a collection of behaviors 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. When using sarcasm, please indicate with /s.
• Please be mindful of your language, and avoid the use of ableist and saneist language. We recognize that sometimes it can be hard to find another word to clearly communicate what you are trying to say. We have created a resource to help you find alternative language while still being able to convey your point.
• Please use captions in uploaded videos.
• There are times when users just want to vent about their situation. Unless requested explicitly, please do not drop unsolicited advice. In some cases, it might be ok to ask OP directly if they want advice.
• Spam should only be reported to us if it originates on the server or if you come across a server that is full of spammy accounts. Individual spam accounts should be reported to the originating server, not disabled.social.

Best Practices to Assist Screen Readers

Some of our users make use of screen readers. There are a few things that make for a smoother experience:

• Reminder to alt-text your images. If you are low on spoons, please use #AltTextHelp and someone from the community should be able to help and provide it.
• Avoid using multiple emojis in a row. Ex: putting 3 smiley faces in a row, or 60 red flags.
• If you want to use hashtags throughout a toot, please do so sparingly. Best to put the majority of them at the end of the toot.
• Use CamelCase for the hashtags. Ex: #DisabledSocial
• Please use as few emoji in usernames or screen names as possible (preferably none)
• Please don't scatter emojis between words in an alternating pattern. Ex: word followed by clapping hands emoji, repeated indefinitely. Use them sparingly.
• When sharing a link, please provide a brief description of where the link directs to.

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

Mutual Aid

The posting and sharing of mutual aid and fundraisers are welcome here on disabled.social because they are critical for the survival of some of our members. Disability payments are often woefully inadequate to meet the much higher cost of living as a chronically ill and/or disabled person. These types of things are sometimes the only way that someone can afford rent, can afford to move out of a terrible housing situation, to be able to afford a mobility aid, etc. Please do not report these posts as spam. If they bother you, you can filter them out of your feed. And regarding the hashtags used: that is up to the discretion of the member who is posting. They know which hashtags are best for their specific situation.

When doing a mutual aid request, please do not specifically @ a specific user or derail a non-related thread. This is exploitative behavior that is breaking personal boundaries. Please keep it as a general ask (which you are allowed to repost) AND/OR share it on mutual aid specific threads.
