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!

Welcome to Newsmast. Knowledge-sharing social media with a conscience, built around communities and powered by Mastodon.

Knowledge-sharing social media with a conscience, built around communities and powered by Mastodon.

We’re diverse, democratic and dedicated to building safe, committed communities that change the world. Backed by a charitable foundation: the Newsmast Foundation.

Our mission is to change social media for good.

Newsmast is a combined Mastodon app and server and is best experienced on our mobile apps for iOS or Android - or on our desktop app.

You can find more about us, our FAQs and contact info on our website.

Getting Started

Here's a guide to Mastodon, it's written by @feditips@mstdn.social.

Community Guidelines

At Newsmast, there have to be rules, so that everyone feels safe and respected. We want to encourage a diversity of voices, which means allowing everyone to feel welcome without enduring hate speech or harassment of any kind.

Please read our Community Guidelines to learn more about what we stand for and find detailed definitions.

We plan to evolve these Guidelines as time goes on in line with the development of Newsmast. Those who repeatedly fail to abide by them will be removed from the platform. Accounts posting certain types of offensive or illegal content will be removed immediately.

The Community Guidelines above also relate to direct messages.

Reporting and moderation

At Newsmast, we aim to abolish harassment, abuse and misinformation. If you find content that’s in breach of these guidelines, please report it by clicking on the three dots at the bottom right corner of the post and selecting report. Provide details of why you are reporting the post, then click confirm and report. Or you can email us at support@newsmast.org.

Following the report, there are several measures that we can take:

● Removing a post or comment: After we’ve done this, we’ll notify the account owner and inform them of the violation. They’re entitled to dispute the removal if they believe we got it wrong.

● Direct messages: If a direct message breaches our policies, we can temporarily or permanently suspend an account. Note that we are unable to monitor contents of DMs unless you report a message to us.

● Account suspension: Anyone who repeatedly violates our policies can be temporarily or permanently suspended. Being permanently suspended will forbid account owners from creating new accounts. The account holder can appeal this if they think we got it wrong.

Rest assured, our team will examine your complaint promptly.

The blocklist used on this server is the Oliphant Tier 0 blocklist, with a few additions by our curators.

The Union Place: a federated server for union members, organizations, friends, and allies. If you support labor and labor rights, you have a place here!

The Union Place is union-oriented and intended for union members, organizations, friends, and allies. That doesn't mean all of your content has to be about unions, of course. Just follow the rules and code of conduct and you'll be in good shape!

Sign-ups are moderated ("waitlist") but we try to review and approve them quickly (see "Service Level Objectives" below). You can help us out by providing a good reason you're interested in The Union Place. If you have a connection to the labor / union movements it'll tell a much better story than "Twitter is exploding". English is preferred for sign-up reasons.

We have committed to the Mastodon Server Covenant and will provide at least 3 months' notice before ceasing operations.

The Long Version

Final interpretation of the following guidelines is up to the administration of The Union Place and is at our sole discretion. They are posted here to provide you with an insight into our content moderation policies and procedures.

I. User Accounts

The Union Place is open to all union members, organizations, friends, and allies. Content posted on The Union Place need not be entirely, or even majority, union or labor-movement related.

Given the broad consensus among many marginalized and progressive communities that police unions are not a true part of the labor movement, police unions are not welcome on The Union Place. We will not specifically screen to prevent members of police unions from joining, but content pushing a pro-police and pro-police union agenda will be considered unacceptable. Police union locals and other directly-related advocacy groups are not eligible to maintain an account on The Union Place.

II. Unacceptable Content

The following types of content will be removed from the public timeline:

• Nudity that has not been:

• Sexism or advocation of sexism,
• Content harmful to the public good, examples including:
  
  
  • “5G causes coronavirus”
  • “Vaccines cause autism” (or, for clarity, any other anti-science and anti-vaccine content)
  
  
• Xenophobic and/or violent nationalism.
• Content that is illegal in the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia, or material encouraging, instructing, or soliciting others to break the law.
  
  
  • This point shall not be applied with regards to matters regarding civil rights movements, civil disobedience and labor actions, access to reproductive rights and education, LGBTQIA+ rights and education, regardless of contested status under the law.
  • We welcome discussions which remain academic, regarding past lived personal experience, or theoretical in nature, but require use of content warnings.
  • We acknowledge that there are several murky legal grey areas, and would like to remind users that Content posted on the Internet, and by extension the Instance, is never truly private.
  
  

The following types of content are explicitly disallowed, and will result in permanent revocation of access to the service:

• Sexual harassment,

  • Academic discussion criticising viewpoints such as Holocaust denialism may be had, but require use of content warnings,
  • Photographs from events and news coverage which include imagery which would be illegal in Germany and/or France may be posted marked sensitive and require use of content warnings,
  • Our servers are hosted in the United States; other content under that law will be addressed on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the administration team with consideration for any municipalities that are directly involved, as well as whether it complies with the rest of the Code of Conduct and Terms of Service,
  
  
• Genocide denialism, as well as material which promotes, advocates for, or encourages genocides whether past or present, and
• Conduct promoting, advocating for, or encouraging any far-right ideology.

III. Harassment

Any conduct intended to stalk or harass other users, or to impede other users from utilizing the service, or to degrade the performance of the service, or to harass other users, or to incite other users to perform any of the aforementioned actions, is also disallowed, and subject to punishment up to and including revocation of access to the service and/or referral to the appropriate law enforcement agency, at our discretion.

• Inciting users to engage another user in continued interaction or discussion after a user has requested for said engagement with that user to cease and desist (brigading or dogpiling).

The Union Place prioritizes the safety of marginalized people over the comfort of privileged people. As a result, we will not act on complaints regarding, but not limited to:

• ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’,
• Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as ‘leave me alone’, ‘go away’, or ‘I’m not discussing this with you’,

• Criticizing racist, sexist, cis-sexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
