📜 Rules

We want everyone on this instance to feel comfortable expressing themselves. That being said there are limits. We have zero tolerance for any blatant homophobia / transphobia / trolling / hating and in general just people that are here to ruin the mood. We are lgbt+ run and supportive.

Registering an account on this instance means you are at least 18 years old. Additionally you agree that browsing the timelines from this instance might expose you to not-safe-for-work and other unwanted material. This is due to the nature of the fediverse. You agree to report these posts so our moderator team can take actions against the violating instance or user.

When registering please provide a reason to join, feel free to talk about your interests in furries, lgbtq+ topics, etc. Something so we know you're not a bot, and not looking to abuse the service.

If you are uncomfortable with certain types of content we highly recommend making use of filters https://bark.lgbt/filters to filter out commonly used hashtags that you would like to avoid.

If your account is identified as being younger than 18 years old and you are seen posting NSFW content your account will be suspended. This falls under illegal content.

We accept the posting of NSFW content however to protect other instances feeds we require not safe for work (NFSW) content to be tagged appropriately. Use both a content warning (CW) and blur media if any media is attached. If this is violated your post may be removed and repeated violation of this rule will result in a ban.

Profile pictures and profile headers MUST be PG-13 and cannot be NSFW / explicit. If your profile is found to violate this rule our moderators will remove your profile picture and/or header. You are then free to upload a alternative that does adhere to this rule.

Zoophillia is not accepted on this instance, nor any mention of it.

This is not a exhaustive list of rules and by registering to this instance you agree that we can add, remove or modify rules without prior notice. If you are in breach of one of our rules our moderator team will contact you and attempt to resolve the situation. If you are uncooperative we may choose to suspend your account on this instance.

A community open to all whilst intended for people in, from, identify with or are just interested in Greater Manchester!

mcr.wtf is a small, independent Mastodon community rooted in Greater Manchester.

It’s open to people who live here, come from here, feel connected to the place, or are simply interested the place.

You don’t have to post about Manchester. This is a general-purpose home on the fediverse but but one where the local timeline might occasionally help you discover a gig, a campaign, a new café, an interesting project, or somebody doing something brilliant nearby.

A friendly place

We want mcr.wtf to be welcoming, thoughtful and enjoyable to use.

Our rules are straightforward: treat people with respect, don’t harass others, and don’t use the community to spread hatred or abuse. We moderate when necessary, and we will limit or block servers that repeatedly expose our members to harassment or unacceptable content.

We federate widely, but the safety of the people who use this server comes first.

Independent and community supported

mcr.wtf is run independently, from Manchester, by people who care about keeping a small part of the internet human-sized.

There’s no advertising, no tracking-based business model and no corporate owner. Contributions help cover the server, storage, backups, domains and the other small costs involved in keeping it running.

If you use mcr.wtf and would like to help support it, you can buy us a coffee or a beer:

1. No discrimination, including (but not limited to) racism, sexism, homophobia or transphobia.
2. No explicit (NSFW) content without content warnings and/or sensitive media markers. Explicit content must not be used in user avatars or header images.
3. No harassment of other users on this or other servers.
4. No content illegal in the United Kingdom
5. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
6. No disinformation regarding public health issues or political/military campaigns.
7. No impersonation of other individuals, public figures or organisations, unless clearly marked as a parody.
8. No spam or SEO. Accounts existing entirely or mostly of spam will be suspended. Self promotion and limited advertising is acceptable, especially where relevant to the community.
9. No posting in languages other than English. Unfortunately this makes moderation impossible for us.

The Speakeasy at Bardic Perspiration is a close-knit community of misfits, rogues, and activists who all share a desire to make this and every world a better place.

About the Club

The Speakeasy at Bardic Perspiration is a close-knit community of misfits, rogues, and activists who all share a desire to make this and every world a better place. We're mostly friendly, sometimes salty, and more often than not inappropriate as hells because what fun is life if we're all going around being proper all of the time? Above all, though, we're here to relax between fighting evil and not bothering to take its names.

If you're trying to categorize us then you have your work cut out for you! We're witches and druids, gamers, writers, and artists. We're explorers and revolutionaries. And above all, we're adventurers!

A full set of our rules, principles, and all of that stuff can be found on our site at:

The Speakeasy Website!

Why a Speakeasy?

Speakeasies were places that laughed in the face of those who sought to control others people's lives and bodies. As misfits, the idea of am invite only home for like-minded people resonated with us. We wanted a place where we could speak our minds, share our truths, and plot the (obviously entirely legal and nonviolent) overthrow of tyranny and authoritarianism everywhere. And now, we have one!

So this is a free speech instance?

Absolutely not. The point of being exclusive is that we know we can trust each other. We don't need a ton of rules because the people here are awesome. But to be welcome here, you need to understand that we do not welcome bigots, racists, and all of those gross things people end up being when they're too ignorant or too small-minded to be better.

Short answer, no. You can check our rules to see the sorts of things we do not welcome.

Sign-Up

Joining the Speakeasy is a straightforward process, requiring only a little bit of your time.

Submit an Application on the Fedi Instance - The first step is to submit an application. This starts the process of vibe checking you for membership! Make sure you enter a good email address and remember your username. We will email you the questionnaire, so once you apply... expect that message from us within a day or two.

Complete the Questionnaire - Assuming you don't give off spammer or troll vibes, we will email you the questionnaire. The best way to help us decide whether you vibe is to know more about you... and the questionnaire helps us do that! Because we want to respect your privacy (for real, not like corpos do) we only ask you to answer things that you're comfortable answering, and we don't ask you to do weird, creepy stuff like provide ID or blood or whatever. You don't have to answer anything you're not comfortable answering, but we do need at least something to work with!

Answer Any Follow-Up Questions - Occasionally, we might have follow-up questions for you. Maybe you forgot to answer a question, maybe an account you listed doesn't show up, or maybe we need a little bit more to verify that you're legit.

Receive an Answer - The Investigatrix will contact you when she's done with her review. There are three possible outcomes for an application:

First, you can be Approved, which means you passed the vibe check! We'll approve your application, send you your welcome pack, and you should be able to log into your account pretty much immediately.

Second, you can be put on Hold, which means we have some questions or concerns we want to clear up. This is not a no, this is just... pending information. If you choose not to answer or do not respond, we'll have to decide on what we know.

Third, we may Decline your application. The reasons we decline applications vary, but some obvious ones would be evidence that you are a troll, that you're not at least 18, or you have done things or said things that violate our rules.

A comfy, non-toxic, and inclusive Anime/Manga/Japanese Media fandom and Japanese Media/Culture Content Creators (Bloggers/Artists/Video Creators/Podcasters/etc.) Mastodon Server

Please read the about page and rules in its entirety before joining.

For faster support or questions about our Mastodon server or any of our services, users are encouraged to file a ticket at our helpdesk instead of using the support email.

Complete rules can also be read here or in the rules section.

Registrations using temporary/disposable emails are not allowed, and your account will be suspended when discovered as they are usually tied to accounts that post SPAM or break rules upon joining. You may use email alias provided by your email provider like iCloud Hide My Email, Simplelogin, etc as an alternative.

Proton Mail Users (proton.me): Due to abuse by bots, any users that are using Protonmail will require approval for your account by a moderator before your account becomes active. If your account requires approval, submit a ticket with social profiles so we can vet them. See below for examples. Alternatively, use a different email service.

Registration using Tor relays are not possible due to abuse/SPAM accounts. If you need to register through Tor relay, create a ticket to request an invite link. You must provide additional information like social profiles, website/blog you own, portfolio, or AniList/Kitsu/MyAnimeList profile for vetting.

Please fill your profile/add profile pic after registering We may freeze your account and ask for additional information like social profiles, website/blog you own, portfolio, or AniList/Kitsu/MyAnimeList profile for newly signed up accounts with no activity with a completely blank profile within 1 week and the profile does not bring any social profiles in the search results. Blank profiles may be completely deleted without any prior notice.

Note; On certain IP ranges, your account may require approval due to spam bots abusing that IP range. You will be notified after signup if you require account approval from our mod team. To expedite your account approval, send your social profiles (e.g. Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/Fediverse profile from a non-blocked server, AniList/MyAnimeList/Kitsu/Anime-Planet, or website). Self-approvals for users requiring approvals with a MyAnimeList or AniList account is coming soon.

Used to Twitter? Sharkey (a soft fork of Misskey) might be easier to use if you don't depend on certain Mastodon clients (e.g. Ivory)/auto sharing plugins (Jetpack Social Mastodon) or want the features like Quote posts and full text search. Our Sharkey/Misskey server (sister server) is at sakurajima.social. However, this Mastodon server is the main server.

About us

Sakurajima (桜島, さくらじま, Cherry Blossom Island) is a Mastodon server for the English Japanese-media and Anime/Manga/Japanese Media artist/blogging/video creator/podcaster/etc and fandom community. This is the place to talk about anime, manga, light novels, video games, and other Japanese media in a comfy and inclusive place. Of course, you can talk about anything as long it doesn't break the rules. This place also gives content creators (bloggers, podcasters, and video creators) a place to share their content. All are in a safe place, free from hate, trolls, harassment, extremist ideologues, and illegal content.

This is a highly moderated server (in regards to moderating against hate speech, harassment, misinformation, and illegal content) to keep the community safe and operated by an Asian-American who is on the Progressive Left. We only defederate servers if they are deemed a high risk (hate speech/spam/trolling risk/harassment/illegal content) or certainly break our rules. Otherwise, we moderate rule breaking posts if reported by users or discovered by moderation staff. See the moderation section for details. Note that we only block servers if it breaks our TOS, not for any other reason.

Note: To use this server, your account must be related in Japanese media/culture in some way. While it's okay to post non-Japanese media/culture related stuff on this server, completely non-related accounts (users who have no interest in Japanese media/culture or related like Korean/Chinese media) may not join this server. We may ask you to migrate to another server if your account does not meet these requirements, but it won’t result in account suspension.

Note Federating with Sakurajima.moe is not guaranteed for servers that are not following the Mastodon Covenant or not listed on joinsharkey.org. Links between federated servers are temporary and may change or disappear at any time. We will block, suspend, or silence any server which permits any of the content or behavior prohibited by this server.

This server is hosted at ReliableSite and Object Storage from Linode in New Jersey.

In addition, we run a slightly modified version of the Urusai. social's fork can be seen here.

We are using neatchee's fork of Mastodon Glitch with our customizations, and it may include bleeding edge (and bugs along with it) features. So please let @neatchee@urusai.social know if you encounter any issues.

Relay Information

Sakurajima has a private relay containing only servers the owner has trust with and the server owners agreeing to join. Here is a list of servers that are in our private relay.

• sakurajima.moe (main Mastodon server)
• sakurajima.social (our Misskey/Sharkey/Sakurakey server)
• urusai.social (our friends, Anime-themed Mastodon server)

Don't ask to join, the owner will only ask if you want to join, and the server must already be following the Mastodon Covenant and must be Japan or Japanese Culture related.

Clients

Suppose you find the default web interface difficult. Once you register an account, you can use a third-party client instead of the Mastodon web interface. To log in to your account in these apps, specify "https://sakurajima.moe" as the server server to log in.

Official Mastodon client is not recommended due to it lacking essential features. However, suppose you are using a Mac or any IOS device. In that case, I can vouch for Ivory since I use that regularly.

Mastodon Covenant

This server complies with the covenant. The user data is backed up daily (excluding media, as that, is stored in Object Storage at Linode) via daily backups made by Xen Orchestra, which are stored in an offsite location. Database backups are stored on another server. Any backups to the external server are also backed up at Backblaze.

We have a zero tolerance policy against hate speech and harassment. See the moderation section.

Moderation

See Server Rules page or rules section for the most up to date information on rules and enforcement.

Block list is only viewable at our main website and not search engine discoverable. The list is for informational purposes and not the most up to date as this is only updated once a month. The list is not viewable here due to a tool used to scrape the list used for nefarious purposes.

For servers that follow the Mastodon Covenant, we will moderate only by user basis as they are required to moderate against hate speech and harassment. These servers will always be on the allowlist (but can be limited/silenced due to spam-bot attacks).

Otherwise, we will silence (if the server’s administrator interacted with bad servers with rule breaking interactions, but don’t post rule breaking content) or if the contents will surely break the rules, defederate. To avoid getting silenced/defederated, block all Fedinuke servers, which are considered worst of the worst and ensure your server is moderated sufficiently.

Note that edgy behavior, or skirting the lines of being a troll will most likely violate our rules, especially in regards to hate speech, harassment, and abusive behavior. This behavior is highly discouraged. If you planning on enganging in this behavior, it’s recommended to find another server.

In addition, temporary or temporal accounts (joining, deleting, and joining again) is highly discouraged as this server is community driven and such behavior may be suspicious, especially if a user breaks rules. If this behavior is detected, you may be limited from joining this server unless approved by a moderator.

Note that we do not remove any blocks unless it's by error (evidence is required to prove this), which is unlikely as we use trusted sources for block lists. server owners may appeal, but substantial evidence is required and we will audit your server. If we deem the block as legitimate, we will not answer your request.

Blocklist Explanation

Federates with the usual suspects/Alt-fedi - used when an instance federates with, associates with, and shares the culture of, instances that don't moderate (and in many cases, actively support) things like harassment, bigotry, hate speech, trolling, far-right ideologies, and generally abusive behavior. Thus, behavior that will break the Mastodon Covenant regarding hate speech and harassment. Sites are considered alt-fedi when the admin made three TOS breaking interactions (e.g. boosting or replying to hate speech) with Fedinuke sites.

DNI - 'Do Not Interact'; instance hosts illegal content such as CSAM, loli (on non-Japanese servers, for Japanese servers, this is handled by a per user basis and we use text/hash tags filters), pedophilia, etc. If you want to verify these blocks, proceed with caution; use a VPN or an anonymous browsing service like Tor, and purge your cache afterwards.

Fedinuked - Considered worst of the worst servers, which contains hate speech, extremist content, and harassment, which of course violates our TOS. Receipts are available here.

Sources we used in the consideration of adding servers to our block list: Fedinuke and new additions from pleroma.envs.net. No block lists are automatically imported, we manually inspect them before they get added to the list.

On the moderation list, there are two type of blocks, Limited/Silenced and Suspended.

Limited/Silenced - You can follow users from this server, but all messages from this server will not show up on the federated timeline, hashtag results, and search. You will not receive any notifications or direct messages from Limited/Silenced servers. You need to see the profile directly or follow a user from that server to appear on your Home timeline.

Suspended - No messages will be exchanged with this server. It’s not possible to follow users from suspended servers nor posts from this server will appear on this server.

Statement on Threads and Bluesky

Sakurajima does not intend to federate with Threads due to privacy, safety concerns, and moderation terms allowing hate speech, which is prohibited in our Terms of Service. Meta/Facebook have proven to act in bad faith. For safety reason, Threads will not be allowed.

Note that Sakurajima is not part of the “Fedipact” and we don’t intend to despite opposing federation with Threads.

Bluesky Bridges are allowed, but to use it, you need to opt-in. However, Nostr bridges are prohibited. Note that we do not operate any bridges and you need to use your due-diligence before using them. However, any accounts that are from the bridge that breaks our rules will be dealt with accordingly.

Server Exceptions to Rule 4

On our servers, we use reject patterns on terms relating to loli/shouta and reject certain hashtags relating to loli and Shouta. This means that most posts containing loli/shouta will never show up on the server. Anything that is not caught by the reject patterns and hashtag rejections that contain loli/shouta will be limited (removed from the public timeline) unless deemed obscene by US Law. Since this is a Japanese-media centric fandom server, we will only make an exception for the following servers (not an exhaustive list):

• Misskey.io
• Misskey.art
• Misskey.design
• mstdn.jp
• fedibird.com
• sushi.ski

Note: Pawoo is defederated due to rampant instances of CSAM.

We do not allow Lolicon/Shouta due to legality issues. This refers to sexual drawings involving child or child-like characters or 2D CSAM. An artwork is considered lolicon/shoutacon if it meets these criteria:

The individual appears underage, or the character in the source material is underage. (This can be chronological age or looks. i.e., a well-endowed 12-year-old is still loli, and so is a flat-chested 1000-year-old dragon.). Underaged is referred to characters who have not went through puberty, e.g. 14 years or younger.

And has at least one of the following:

1. Bare genitals or breasts.
2. Reveal of undergarments, i.e., panties or bra for girls or underwear for boys. Does not include swimsuits, as long it doesn't violate #1.
3. The character is in a sexual posture toward that person. In other words, the loli/shouta could be dressed appropriately but in an image where other individuals exhibit sexual behavior toward them.
4. Anything that is meant to be sexually suggestive. (up to moderator to determine)

This rule exception exists since filters aren’t prefect and some of these posts will still get through. Real life depictions (including 2D drawing based on real people), and those images generated with Artificial Intelligence will be considered as CSAM. Servers that are not in this list would get handled normally.

Actual CSAM content (including AI generated) is still prohibited, regardless if users are on the servers mentioned on this list. Boosting/Favoriting/Reacting to lolicon/shouta content will result in a warning and/or ban. Any username that contains terms related to lolicon and shouta will be suspended immediately.

Teenaged Fictional Characters

Depictions of Teenaged Fictional characters are allowed whether its SFW affectionate or NSFW. However, they must follow these guidelines:

• Fictional characters only, no real life depictions. Must be aged 16 (age of consent) or older.
• For NSFW, the character must be 16 of age or older. If you want to be on the safe side, consider aging the character up to 18 years of age or add a disclaimer that all characters depicted in this work are age 18 or older. Avoid age specific clothing if you decide to age the characters up to 18.
• For NSFW works, all characters must be past puberty, no underaged appearance (e.g. flat-chested 1000-year-old dragon is considered underaged). Underaged refers to characters and people under the age of consent of 16 and/or have a child-like appearance (e.g. loli/shouta).

In short, do not post anything that you don’t see in Anime in regards to anime involving characters in high school, especially in fanservice anime. If you are not sure if the art work or anime screenshot is appropriate, ask a moderator first.

Automated Posting

While bots are allowed, note that your bot can only make up to 4 public automated posts in an hour (1 post every 25 minutes). No more than 16 unlisted posts in an hour. No repetitive posting (posting the same thing repeatedly) is allowed for public posting, if repetitive, keep it unlisted.

If you flood the local timeline, we may limit/suspend your account temporarily and you may appeal once you resolve the outstanding issues.

Note: This rule does not apply to apps that auto-shares blog posts or RSS feeds. Non automated posts made does not count towards this limit either. Bots that Mirror Twitter/X accounts are prohibited.

Note: We do not allow bots that solely share only AI content (e.g. bots that share AI generated images or powered by ChatGPT, which includes AI agents or bots automated by AI).

Artificial Intelligence Training and Content Ownership

Training of content from our users to train LLM (Large Language Model) or any generative Artificial Intelligence models are strictly prohibited. We block access to all known bots associated with Artificial Intelligence training. Any user who creates an account for the sole purpose of training models will be suspended.

User retain the ownership of their content, but grant a royalty-free, revokable license for sole purpose of displaying content on our servers to other users who use the service as long it's stored on the server. However, it won’t be used for any other purposes.

AI Agents are prohibited from signing up on any of our services. If they successfully manage to sign up and discovered or contact us on approving their account, they are required to pay a $100 administration fee for having to deal with their slop created by the agent and their account will be suspended. The fee must be paid in 30 days of issuance of the invoice. If not paid, the owner of the AI agent will be legally liable.

Content Warnings

Content warnings (CW) allows users to hide suggestive or potentially triggering content. This requires the user to hide the content by default. If thee user wants to view it, they can click the button to show it.

The following requires a CW and sensitive always:

• Sexual themes (including nudity) or content
• Violent themes or content, blood and gore
• Content that contains self-harm

Suggested, but not required, or at least tagged (for purposes of filtering):

• Political current events such as elections and government actions (normally abbreviated to 'pol' along with the country/region, ie. 'UKpol', 'DEpol', etc.)
• Potentially triggering Mental Health topics (normally abbreviated to 'mh'). Many of our members come here to discuss their mental health journey, and we seek to be as welcoming and open as possible, but for the sake of other users: please CW references to self harm, suicide, helplessness and other moods and behaviours that may be contagious or trigger people in recovery
• Alcohol ('alc') and drugs
• Themes or content about abuse
• Common phobias (Like certain animals such as snakes and insects.)
• Spoilers (in regards to source material not covered in an anime or for an episode that just aired)
• Long posts or posts with multiple parts (please also use the 'unlisted' privacy setting for posts after the first in a thread, so that the local timeline doesn't get flooded)
• Content made with generative tools like neural networks ("AI") and dissociated press/ebooks bot-style Markov chains that are designed primarily to imitate art or communication made by people. These can cause an uncanny-valley effect and can be distressing or frustrating when presented without warning. Additionally, AI generated content (text and image) must be tagged, no exceptions.

Please do not demand people to CW content, especially if it’s not required by the rules, this is the moderators job. We will send a DM asking the content to be CW’d.
