A private Mastodon instance hosted by @palewire

This is a Mastodon instance for scholars of eighteenth-century global culture, history, literature, philosophy, and ideas. New users should introduce themselves clearly to the administrator.

This eighteenth-century-themed instance is provided by your administrator and several donor members as a service to the scholarly community.

The blocked domains are drawn from Fediblock lists of servers that violate our rules against hate and spam. If you would like to discuss why a particular domain is blocked or not blocked, please contact your admin.

1. Racism, antisemitism, sexism, casteism, homophobia, transphobia, and harassment will not be tolerated. Hostile and spam instances will be defederated.
2. If a hostile or spam user/instance appears, please submit a report to your admin. Report harassment immediately.
3. Fill out your profile and post an introduction when you join. When you follow someone, they should be able to see something about you.
4. Include ALT text for all images. If you are posting shocking, annoying, or repetitive content, please consider using the CW function.
5. Don't repost content by other people on other platforms. Avoid using asterisks or euphemisms that get around other people's blocked and muted terms.
6. In order to join this server, you should provide a brief explanation of why you are joining this particular server, not just why you are leaving another social media site. Why is c18.masto.host right for you?
7. Do not post AI-generated content on this server. There are plenty of other servers where that is normal and welcomed, but this server is not a content slop farm.
8. If you abandon your account here for over a year, the administrator will contact you to see if you would like to keep it or not. If we don't hear back from you within a week, your account will be deleted. You can request a new account when you are ready to use it.

Silversword is a general English-speaking instance for gamers. No matter if you are a Steam gamer, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, Amiga, Atari... You get the point :-) Hop on and let's talk video games!

I have created this instance because after being on Mastodon / Fediverse since 2019 I haven't discovered enough gamers to discuss video games with. I have decided to boldly go where no gamer has gone before. My gift to you is a gaming-oriented Mastodon instance where you will find others with mutual interests.

Important message

But in order for this instance to succeed two stars will need to align, and stay aligned.

1. This instance is hosted on masto.host and I need monthly help in funding it. You are welcome to participate for free, but if you like being here please consider funding it monthly if you can. Ko-Fi link is below.

2. As this instance grows, the number of people who have not read the rules will inevitably grow as well, and so will the need for moderation grow. A trustworthy moderator team will be essential. Let me know if you are interested to volunteer for the job and why.

If the above-mentioned stars fail to align in the long run I pledge to you that I will give you a three months notice before shutting down the server so you will have plenty of time to relocate to a different instance.

1. Read the message below these rules carefully. It is important for the future of your account on this server!
2. This is a gaming-oriented Mastodon instance. It is created by a gamer for gamers. Post anything related to video games. PC gaming, console gaming, VR gaming, mobile gaming. All other topics of your interest are absolutely allowed (see the next rule) but the main topic here is video games.
3. Real-life politics is not allowed. We are gathered on this instance to provide an escape from reality called video games. We love games, we live games. We welcome you into this community with any topic of your interest (besides gaming) except real-life politics.
4. Before you join this instance, take a moment to think about what these four words mean to you: Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. It is the intention of this instance to be welcoming of other Human beings no matter their color or identity. As gamers, we set the example.

Praxis.Red membership is by vouch/invitation only. We do not have the available labor to moderate an open instance. If you want to join us, chat up one of our co-op members!

1. Do not behave in a way that would cause an outside force to act on you to prevent what you're doing from harming another living being.
2. If you post an image, please describe the image in its alt-text for folks using accessibility tools.
3. If you need more rules than this, you'll be pleased to know our community code of conduct will be available just as soon as we're done writing it. Though it should suffice to say that if you post content that is harassing, hitlerite, or obvious trolling, you'll get the boot.

It's just Binder's place. If you don't know who that is, you're probably in the wrong place.

The Petrous.Vislae.Town Code of Conduct

We want this to be a fun, pleasant, and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If someone asks you to leave them alone, leave them alone.

Unacceptable Behavior

The following behavior is not welcome anywhere on Petrous:

• Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion.
• Holocaust denial and Nazi symbolism.
• Promotion of fascist, supremacist, or hateful ideology or symbolism, including in choice of user name or avatar.

Consequences

Contributing

In the unlikely event you'd like to help me keep doing this, I'm accepting contributions at ko-fi for keeping petrous online.

1. Don't be a bigger jerk than Binder.
2. Ask for what you need.
3. Use Content Warnings for statuses which might bug someone. I'd rather we over-warn than under-warn. Note that people can configure their account to always 'open' content warning statuses if they don't care about spoilers.
4. Put some descriptive alt text on your images.
5. Participate. If I don't see posts by you, especially if I don't know you, I'm locking the account. No lurking voyeurs, you got a whole other site for that.

QWeb Ltd's official Mastodon server. This is an invitation-only instance for our clients and partners.

QWeb Ltd is an award winning web and game development agency in Yorkshire. Established February 2013, we've been lucky enough to have worked with some of the UK's biggest brands, as well as some of the loveliest independent business owners.

QWeb Community was set up as a place to give our clients and partners the opportunity to meet, socialise, and trade business. It's also our way of introducing people to the wider fediverse.

Crucially, this is where you'll always be able to reach out on the rare occasion our web and email hosting services might be disrupted. This instance is purposefully hosted outside of our normal infrastructure for redundancy. Follow or bookmark @qweb where we'll post important updates during service disruptions.

QWeb Community is a Mastodon server hosted on OVH infrastructure by Hugo at Masto.host and you can see current Masto.host infrastructure status here.

Mastodon

Mastodon is a little different to most of the other social networks that you might be familiar with. Here you get a local timeline (Live Feeds -> This Server) where you'll only see posts from other accounts on this server, a federated timeline (Live Feeds -> All) where you'll see posts from accounts on all sorts of other servers, and a home feed where you'll only see posts from the accounts that you choose to follow.

There are also lists of trending posts, hashtags, and accounts, and you can follow hashtags the same way you'd follow accounts, to pull tagged content into your home feed. With Mastodon, you're entirely in control of the content that you see in your feeds.

Federation is complicated because there are so very many Mastodon servers out there, but in a nutshell the more people there are on this server interacting with people on other servers, the more this server will see of the wider fediverse and be able to pull in to the federated timeline. We're running our very own Trunkbot to automatically find accounts on other servers but we're a comparatively tiny instance still and some of these feeds might look a little bare at the moment while we grow.

There are no platform ads here, and no algorithms. Just the content that you want to see, in chronological order.

As well as this web interface, you can also download official Mastodon apps for iOS or Android from the respective app stores, or one of the many other community developed apps. The apps are better than the web interface for some things, but significantly less feature-full.

Welcome to Mastodon and decentralised social media.
