日本の一般人向けのMastodonインスタンス。

ここは何ぞ?

日本の一般人による，一般人のためのMastodonインスタンスです。

• 青い鳥や，濃いヲタたちとの交流に疲れた一般人。
• FreeBSDについて，もっと知りたい一般人。
• 写真の腕を上げたい一般人。
• 異性装を楽しむ一般人。
• 日焼け肌が大好きな一般人。
• 年中発情期な一般人。
• 甘辛くおしゃれしたい一般人。
• 飯テロを投下しまくりたい一般人。
• 最近ヲタ卒した一般人。
• なぜか，オタクや変態と間違われやすい一般人。
• 推しが卒業して，暇になった一般人。

いろんな一般人が，思い思いにつぶやく場です。どっかの商用SNSみたいな，言論統制はしないよん♪

何ができる?

1回500文字以内でつぶやいて，様々なMastodonや互換の分散型SNSインスタンス (Misskey, Pleroma等) のユーザーと交流できます。つぶやきには静止画，動画，音声も添付できます。

…と云われると，たいていの方は “Twitterとほとんど一緒” と思われるかもしれませんが，半分以上正解です。大きい違いは, “サービス全体を1つの会社が握っているわけではない” 点です。インスタンスごとに管理者がいて，ここのように個人運営だったり，どこかの企業がやっていたりと様々です。集まるユーザーの趣向やポリシーもまちまちです。

白林檎は2019年春からMastodonを使っており，一般人の目線で “ヲタヲタしい人々，とくにICTと2次元寄りが多いなー” と感じていました。一般人やヲタ卒した人々が気軽に参加しやすい，日本人向けのインスタンスを探しましたが，見当たらなかったので自宅のサーバーに建てました。

参加資格

次をお持ちの方なら，どなたでも登録・利用できます。

• 標準的な日本語の読み書き能力。
• こちらから送信可能なメールアドレス。
• 自分は一般人である，またはこれから一般人になる，と云う信念。

お願い

最低限，次だけ守っていただけると，白林檎も周りも助かります。

禁止事項

悪質な場合は当該のユーザーへ警告し，改善されなければアカウントの停止，削除を行います。

• 特定の個人や団体をぶっ叩くつぶやき。
  正当な批判は，もちろんありです。自分が気に入らん等の理由で，一方的にけなしたりするのはNG。
• 法に反するつぶやき。
  ヤクの取引とか，公にしてはいけない機密情報とか，陰部が見えるエロ画像とか，そのへんですね。エロ画像の陰部の修正は，同人イベントで頒布したり，同人作品のダウンロードサイトに掲載したりできる程度のものをお願いします。
• 極端な連投。
  例えば専用のプログラムから毎秒つぶやくなど，一般人がPCやスマートフォン等の通常の操作でできるとは思えないほど短い間隔で連続投稿されると，サーバーと回線に無駄な負荷がかかり，他のユーザーの使用に差し支えてしまいます。
• 大きすぎるファイルの添付。
  40 MiB以下を目安としてください。

CW, 閲覧注意の活用

エロい画像・文章・URLや長文をつぶやく際は，投稿欄下部の [CW] や，ファイルをアップロードした後に表示されるチェックボックス [メディアを閲覧注意にする] をONにしていただけると，外出先でつぶやきを読む人々は安心できたりします。

1. マターリ，一般人として過ごしましょ♪

1. Gaudiu i mantingueu relacions humanes. Si no respecteu els altres, no vingueu
2. El límit son els drets humans fonamentals. No es tolerarà racisme, ni homofòbia, ni masclisme o qualsevol altre -isme del mateix caire
3. Explícitament prohibida qualsevol activitat comercial: publicitat, publicacions brossa i bots (es pot obtenir butlla en casos concrets, si creus que hauríes de poder-ho fer, envia un correu a l'admin)
4. Qualsevol cosa que no estigui especificada en aquestes normes ho decideix l’admin
5. No està permès utilitzar les dades i publicacions d'aquest servidor ni dels seus usuaris per a alimentar cap sistema extern al Fedivers, replicar-ne perfils en cap altra instància o sistema, ni cap altra activitat sense l'autorització explícita de l'usuari del perfil.
6. Si creeu un usuari, canvieu-vos ben aviat l'avatar predeterminat per un de la vostra elecció. Si no ho feu, us considerarem spammers i suspendrem el vostre compte. També ho farem si no accediu al compte durant 3 mesos, a fi d'alleugerir els recursos consumits al servidor.

This instance is a casual place for those that live in or enjoy the Pacific Northwest (US/Canada). We're chill here, so come join us and share your experiences. This is a general topic instance, but you may find we enjoy #Photography #Nature #Technology and the like.

I'm new to Mastodon and the Fediverse. Who can I talk to on this instance?

If you're coming from Twitter, you may be wondering why you need to "pick" an instance or server. The Mastodon service is hosted by thousands of interconnected servers - rather than being run by one entity. But don't fear, each administrator has connected their instance to all the other instances so everyone can communicate in one big "Fediverse".
