Et lokalt, reklamefritt og uavhengig sosialt nettverk for Oslo 🇳🇴 Få en kronologisk feed uten algoritmisk sporing.

👋 Welcome

Welcome to a social network for people in the Norwegian capital of Oslo.

Similar to other social networks, you can make your own profile, post messages, images, polls, videos, follow other members, follow hashtags and see what’s Trending.

Unlike other social networks, this one is owned and operated by people in Oslo. It's free to use, there's no whacky algorithm deciding what you see and no tracking your every move to harvest your personal data.

✨ Sign up now to claim your username. ✨

🧬 How does this work?

Just like a real town there is lots of things happening in your local area and you can see whats happening on this server through the Live Feeds option. However, if you want to explore the wider world, there is a Trending page and a page to show you more posts from around the world.

When you see something interesting, you can ‘Follow’ that person for future updates. Everything you follow appears in your Home timeline. You can follow anyone in the whole world, whether they are local or not. You can also follow Hashtags to see the latest posts about things that interest you.

If you see something you didn't want to see, you can Mute or Block that person. If you see something which you don't think should be on the internet, you can Report it to The Mayor.

🏵️ The Mayor

When you sign up to the website, it is recommended that you follow @themayor to get the latest updates straight from the oslo.town town hall.

The site is run by the user @matt but also pretends to be the character of @themayor. This is also why so many things are in English so far - his Norwegian sucks. Sorry about that.

🙋 FAQ

Is this linked to Oslo Kommune?

No. The site is independently run and is not endorsed by Oslo Kommune. The logo of oslo.town is meant to be a parody and tribute to the official Oslo logo, but that is where the link ends. The account @kommune is not currently maintained or monitored by Oslo Kommune.

How much does it cost The Mayor to run oslo.town?

In short, about 2300 NOK each month and we run on donations. We have a Patreon, Ko-Fi, PayPal and Vipps to collect money.

Every month the costs and donation totals are published on this blog and shared by @themayor.

I see offensive content. Can you block it?

If you see an account you see posting offensive content, please use the Block and Report functionality. If this is content that is not hosted on oslo.town then check the option which says Forward to... which will report the account to the appropriate administrator.

Directly from the offensive post, you can also click the option Block Domain which will prevent you from seeing any future content from that website.

We have a set of server rules you should follow. In addition to this, the policy at oslo.town is as follows:

• We will ensure that bad things don't happen on the Local timeline.
• We attempt to hide (but not block) any NSFW or spam content from the Federated Timeline.
• We block any external accounts or domains that are known to frequently spamming our users.
• Please allow up to 48 hours to process reports.

2. Respect Privacy and Consent 🤝
3. No Hate Speech or Bigotry 🚫

Gamepad.Club has a video games focus, but we're open to all forms of gaming from tabletop RPGs to trading card games. Hosted in the UK and EU but everyone is welcome!

Whether it's those intense couch battles playing Mario Kart, chilled sessions with Stardew Valley or franticly building barricades in Fortnite, Gamepad.Club is for you. However you play, this place is a home for everything gaming. Join us and chat about the latest releases, what you’re currently playing, and what upcoming launches you’re hyped for!

Don't worry about staying on topic though. Create an account, share your interests in an introductory post, and enjoy being part of a growing community on a network of connected Mastodon instances around the globe!

Signing up for an account is free, although there are some ground rules that you'll see below. So that we can tell you're a human and not some basic bot, please include a reason for joining. Once checked and manually approved, you'll get an email inviting you to get started!

How Gamepad.Club is Run

To support our growing and active community, this server is moderated by a team of volunteers. It currently consists of the following, who are all on-hand to respond to your queries:

• Gazimoff (owner, admin)
• Belghast (co-admin)
• Aywren (mod)
• Scopique (mod)

This instance of Mastodon is powered by Linode cloud computing using industrial-grade data centres and infrastructure. Backups are taken daily and rotated to ensure that data is protected.

We also adhere to the Mastodon Server Covenant, including providing at least 3 months notice should the server regrettably plan to shut down. This will provide ample opportunity if you want to download your content and/or move to another instance.

While we're on the topic, please remember that anything you publish on Gamepad.Club (your posts and images) is stored unencrypted. This includes Direct Messages and other closed/locked posts. Please do not use this service to share anything confidential or personal that you cannot risk becoming public.

Gamepad.Club is currently funded out-of-pocket by the admin team, with support from incredibly generous members via Patreon. Advance notice will be shared if that needs to change, but members will never be charged for access, adverts will never be used, trackers will never be deployed and data will never be sold to third-parties.

1. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of discrimination are not acceptable on this server, and we have a zero-tolerance policy against it.
2. Nudity and pornographic content is not permitted, including fan art and video game content. Posts that include this content will be removed.
3. Repeated, targeted harassment against an individual or group is unacceptable behaviour, and may lead to a temporary or permanent suspension
4. Spam, advertising and bot accounts are not permitted and will be removed.
5. Content that is illegal in the United Kingdom, Germany, or the United States is strictly prohibited.
6. Include why you want to join in your application so that we can tell you're a human and approve you! (Make sure to check your spam folder for any approval email)

1. Posts on MastoDNS must comply with the DNS-OARC Code of Conduct, which is available here: https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/policies/conduct
2. When participating, treat others with tolerance, respect and courtesy, regardless of who they are and who you are.
3. Do not use language which is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, uses slurs, or is otherwise discriminatory.
4. Do not use personal attacks in discussion with others. Vigorous debate is welcome, but ad hominem does nothing to advance an open exchange of ideas.
5. Content which is illegal or endangers the safety of others is prohibited.
6. Do not harass anyone, or participate in group harassment of anyone. Posting—or threatening to post—other people's personally identifying information ("doxing") constitutes harassment.
7. Do not post adult content, or sexually explicit material (including pictures containing nudity). This includes sexualized comments or jokes. Posts including unwelcome sexual attention constitute harassment.
8. Do not post about controversial or sensitive subjects without a Content Warning.
9. Do not police your fellow users. You may feel a user has violated our standards or rules, but you should block them or report them for admins to handle. Starting an argument among users only serves to add noise to the signal.
10. Do not debate moderation actions in public posts. If you disagree with how a moderator enforced these rules, you may direct-message the moderation team or email mastodon@dns-oarc.net.
