a Mastodon instance for Episcopalians

episcodon.net is a Mastodon server for individuals and groups associated with The Episcopal Church. However, episcodon.net is neither officially affiliated with nor endorsed by The Episcopal Church.

episcodon.net is committed to the Mastodon Server Covenant and is listed on the Mastodon Servers page.

Membership on this server is free. However, the owner incurs monthly overhead costs to keep the server up and running. Please consider making a one-time or recurring donation using Patreon.

You must be at least 16 years of age to join. Although this server is based in the United States, we have chosen to comply with the more stringent requirements of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation.

Our core values as Episcopalians are expressed in the Baptismal Covenant. We encourage all server members to exemplify these values—especially the promise to "strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being"—as they interact with others.

Remember that our Anglican heritage began as a via media (middle road) between Catholicism and Protestantism. Episcopalians today hold diverse positions on religious, political, social, and other issues. We ask server members to give each other the grace to hold different beliefs, and to discuss their differences civilly.

Our server rules are intended to make episcodon.net a safe and enjoyable place for all members. If you encounter content that violates server rules, please report it. The server admins will review it as soon as possible. Content that violates server rules will be removed at the discretion of the server admins. Users who violate server rules will be suspended at the discretion of the server admins.

Please be aware that Mastodon is free and open-source software (FOSS), so anyone can start a Mastodon instance. Also, Mastodon is only one part of the larger fediverse. Our server becomes automatically federated with any other server with which our users interact. Some of those servers may contain content that is objectionable to you (and probably the majority of our users). If you encounter such servers in your Federated timeline, please report them. The admins will investigate them and, if necessary, block them. You can find a list of blocked servers at the bottom of our About page.

Server recommendations

1. Be kind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
2. Complete your user profile. Other users are more likely to follow you if you add your name, a bio, a header image, and an avatar image. If you prefer to remain anonymous, that’s fine.
3. Introduce yourself with an initial post. Indicate your interests with hashtags.
4. Add descriptive text to all images, videos, and audio files you attach to posts. People who use screen readers need descriptive text to interpret content they cannot see.
5. Use the appropriate level of privacy for your posts. Do you want a post to be visible to everyone, only to people who follow you, or to the specific people mentioned in the post?
6. Make good use of content warnings. Ask yourself, “Is what I’m posting likely to be a trauma trigger for some readers?” If the answer is yes, add a content warning to your post.
7. Keep in mind that text-based communication is limited. The visual and auditory clues present in face-to-face communication are missing. If a post hits you the wrong way, gently ask the author for clarification.
8. If you have an issue with someone else’s post, try to discuss your concern with that person privately. If you are unable to resolve the issue, file a report.
9. Don’t use the server rules to censor users who hold different positions from your own. Instead, be curious and ask open questions. However, if the user is clearly violating server rules, file a report.
10. Use camel case in hastags. For example, type #TheEpiscopalChurch rather than #theepiscopalchurch. Camel case is easier to read and is a necessity for people who use screen readers. Be aware that Mastodon may try to lowercase your hashtag.

1. No hate speech.
2. No commercial advertising.
3. No disinformation or misinformation.
4. No harassment or bullying.
5. No sexual content.
6. No violent content.
7. No criminal activity.
8. No conspiracy theories.
9. No cryptocurrency promotions.
10. No bot accounts or data scaping.

The Official Mastodon Server of Brad & Will Made a Tech Pod. If you'd like to support the server, please consider supporting our Patreon at https://patreon.com/techpod

We wanted to have a place to expand the community that has formed around the Tech Pod. Feel free to make this your main home on the Fediverse, we're not requiring that anyone back the Patreon or whatever to get access. Signups will remain on for the time being, just to limit the impact new accounts have on perf.

If, for some reason, we decide to shut down the Mastodon, we will give users here at least three months notice before we do.

1. Be kind to each other.
2. Be judicial in what you post.
3. Please don’t post stuff that shows disturbing content (violence, bodliy harm, cruelty, etc) without using the content warning features. Err on the side of caution.
4. Avoid mansplaining. While you may be an expert on a topic in your friend circles, it's likely that there's someone here who you could learn a lot from. Mansplaining shuts down those opportunities to learn.
5. Please set a user icon. It can be anything you want, as long as it isn't the Mastodon default image.
6. Avoid behavior that forces us to create new rules.

If you know Jesse, hit him up for an account.

This is Jesse's personal server. If you know him and want an account, you're welcome to be here.

1. Play nice. If you engage in behavior that Jesse believes is inappropriate, he'll either ask you to cut it out or boot you from the server without notice.
2. This is a private server. If you don't know Jesse personally, this is not the right fediverse server for you. https://joinmastodon.org/servers has a list of places you might check out.

This is a te reo Māori & English instance, for folks in Aotearoa NZ. We've talked openness, technology, improving our society since 2017.

This service is provided on a best-effort not-for-profit basis by the NZ Open Source Society, a registered charity. Its maintenance is undertaken by volunteer members of the Society, and on-shore hosting in NZ is very generously sponsored by Prodigi, an Aotearoa-based technology services company.

Our Pledge: we have no intention of shutting this service down, but should that ever happen, we will provide at least 2 months grace for all users to ensure they can find another home in the Fediverse without losing any social credit.

We ask that all users are aware of - and adhere to - the New Zealand Open Source Society Code of Conduct.

Any accounts we deem to be spammy will be swiftly suspended.

1. No automated cross posting from Twitter, RSS, or other services.
2. No spam (blatant advertising without relevant thoughtful content).
3. No impersonating other people
4. Descriptions required for images and video (ALT tag) to support those with sight issues.
5. In the event of a dispute, site administrators' decisions are made on a good faith basis (informed by the NZOSS Code of Conduct) and are final.
6. Challenge ideas, respect individuals.
7. No racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, or otherwise harassing individuals for what they are.
8. No commercial accounts for proprietary products. We want real people and Free and Open Source Software/Hardware projects (commercial is fine).
9. Be civil and be kind. If you need to criticise, punch up, never down. Hate speech, intended to incite or offend, is not acceptable.
10. Human-generated posts only, please.

Tabletop gaming chatter in a moderated space. An inclusive community we'd like to hang out in. Not run by a billionaire.

Tabletop gaming chatter in a moderated space. An inclusive community we'd like to hang out in. Not run by a billionaire.

We're making a little friendly Twitter clone using Mastodon which is for #ttrpg (and other tabletop). Like Twitter but with moderation and not owned by a billionaire.

Needs some work yet, but if we get it going we imagine it will be a small friendly inclusive community (we're not planning on taking over the world with it, just making a nice space we'd like to hang out in).

Responsible, representative moderation would be nice, too.
