Instances

This search engine for Mastodon instances is based on a database that gets updated by our crawler every night (CET).

Instances are considered new for 30 days after they are discovered.

When an instance has not responded to our daily checks for more than 30 days it is no longer considered in statistics and searches and it gets checked only on the first of the month, rather than daily, until it possibly responds again, or until its last succesful check is one year old; in this latter case, from that moment it gets checked only on the first day of each year.

“Random ordering” of results varies daily.

Default search criteria reflect our fondness for a decentralized and egalitarian Fediverse and our attempt to exclude instances accepting fascist, racist, sexist, ableist, sovereignist, pro-nuclear and pedopornographic contents by marking them as noxious.

To report any issue, technical or non-technical, or to suggest instances to exclude according to the above criteria, please contact us at our e-mail address, masthelp[at]insicuri.net.

We currently count 9,717 Mastodon instances, with 10,019,674 users (756,772 active during last month) and 1,081,101,326 published statuses. [Show Threads moderation statistics]

1) Server: 6,03€ pro Monat

2) Domain: 3,42€ pro Monat

3) Speicher: ~1,50€ pro Monat (stand 01.02.2023)

Spenden

Derzeit werden keine Spenden angenommen.

A server for PHP programmers & friends. Join us for discussions on the PHP programming language, frameworks, packages, tools, open source, tech, life, and more.
Long description


Welcome

Welcome to the PHP community on Mastodon! We provide a place for PHP programmers & friends to discuss topics related to the PHP programming language, frameworks, packages, tools, open source, tech, life, and more. First and foremost, we're about building community, and that doesn't always involve technical discussion, so feel free to go off-topic and have fun.

Who's Behind This?

phpc.social is a PHP Commmunity Foundation project. PHP Community Foundation created phpc.social for the public benefit of the PHP community.

How Can I Help?

Thank you for your willingness to help! We appreciate it. Here are some areas we could use your help:

  • Contribute financially by donating through the phpc.social Open Collective project.
  • Volunteer as a moderator—get to know our community first! A moderator is a position of trust, so we need to know you're legit and planning to stick around.
  • Server administration—our servers are currently hosted with Masto.host, so we're not in need of help right now, but we'll let you know if that changes.

Code of Conduct

If you believe anyone is in physical danger or doing something that is against the law, please notify appropriate emergency services first by calling the relevant local authorities.

The instance is primarily meant for the PHP community and surrounding tech, but posts are not required to be on-topic. As long as it doesn't break the rules, feel free to talk about whatever you want.

Please remember that being on this server is a privilege, and not a right.

The following guidelines are not a legal document, and final interpretation is up to the administration of phpc.social; they are here to provide you with an insight into our content moderation policies.

These policies apply to: posts, profile information and bio, as well as account handles, on phpc.social.

This is a living document, and updates to it will be made if necessary.

  1. The following types of content will be removed from the public timeline, and may result in account suspension upon repeated violations:

    1. Advertising of off-topic material for the PHP instance.
    2. Advertising more than once per hour of on-topic material without appropriate Content Warning.
    3. More than one automated post per hour or four per day, excluding posts with a visibility of "unlisted" or "followers only".
    4. Accounts that are primarily intended to post automated messages, unless they are marked "This is a bot account" in account settings and all posts have a visibility of "unlisted" or "followers only."
    5. Persistent trolling, and posts to test the limits of moderation
    6. Promotion of scams (including cryptocurrency and NFTs) or known misinformation/disinformation campaigns, such as anti-vaccination or climate denial.

  2. The following types of content will be removed from the public timeline, and will result in a temporary account suspension, and revocation of access to the service:

    1. Nudity, pornography, and sexually explicit content, including artistic depictions, without an appropriate Content Warning
    2. Gore and extremely graphic violence, including artistic depictions, without an appropriate Content Warning

  3. The following types of content will be removed from the public timeline, and may result in account suspension and revocation of access to the service:

    1. Racism or advocation of racism
    2. Sexism or advocation of sexism
    3. Discrimination against gender and sexual minorities, or advocation thereof
    4. Xenophobic and/or violent nationalism
    5. Incitement of violence against individuals or groups

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

    1. Sexual depictions of children
    2. Content illegal in Germany and/or France, such as holocaust denial or Nazi symbolism
    3. Conduct promoting the ideology of National Socialism

  5. 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. This includes, but is not limited to, the following behaviors:

    1. Continuing to engage in conversation with a user that has specifically requested for said engagement with that user to cease and desist, regardless of platform-specific privacy tools employed
    2. Aggregating, posting, and/or disseminating a person's demographic, personal, or private data without express permission (informally called doxing or dropping dox)
    3. 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 (informally called brigading or dogpiling)


These provisions notwithstanding, the administration of the service reserves the right to revoke any user's access permissions, at any time, for any reason, except as limited by law.

Moderation Procedures

Cross-Instance Moderation

First, a few notes on how cross-instance moderation works:

  1. If a remote user is reported from our instance, the report is immediately forwarded to the home of the remote user.
  2. Suspension of a remote user only makes them invisible from, and unable to react to, users on our instance.
  3. Any moderation actions we take with regard to a remote user are not relayed back to that user’s home instance.
  4. Our view of remote users does not include any information (email, IP address, etc.) that would allow us to proactively block that user from interacting with our instance outside the context of the account they’re currently on.

With that said, if user A on our instance reports user B on another instance for harassment/hate speech or similar-tier offences, moderators can and should take proactive action comparable to if the harassment had been directed at a user on our instance, even if the reported user has had no interactions with our instance (including follows in either direction). So if the remote user’s feed is exclusively hate speech, suspend that user.

Proactive vs. Reactive Moderation

Moderators are not obligated, as part of their role, to actively seek out accounts or posts that break our rules or would result in a report. Moderators, like any user of our instance, can use reporting functionality for bad actors that they see during their own use of the platform, and can even take moderation actions directly without going through the report system if they see something sufficiently egregious, though in those cases moderators should post in Discord with what they've done as an audit trail on top of the one built into Mastodon.

With that said, moderators’ primary duty is to assist in resolving reports made by other users in a timely and consistent manner. This means that the role of a moderator is primarily reactive rather than proactive, and we’re knowingly making the tradeoff of catching things quickly to balance workload on a fully-volunteer moderation staff.

Best Practices

This section contains a set of guidelines on how to best use this instance. They include suggestions for when to use Content Warnings. (Mostly copied from https://blog.chaos.social/rules):

We ask users on phpc.social to keep the following guidelines in mind, in order to foster a considerate and accessible atmosphere. Forgetting about them is not as serious as breaking the instance rules, but repeated malicious unwillingness to follow the best practices will be considered just like breaking a rule.

  • Use content warnings liberally, especially for topics that are potentially disturbing or controversial, or that make life harder for people struggling with addiction or trauma, but also for spoilers.
  • Set the right language for your posts. By default Mastodon will use the interface language to attach to your posts, but if you (for example) have set that to English, and you post in German, then the posts will have "English" attached to them, and translations don’t work.
  • Add descriptions to images and videos.
  • Provide credit for creative works that are not your own.
  • Don't be a reply guy – uninvited comments about another user’s personal choices, lifestyle, or family are strongly discouraged and may be considered harassment.
  • In discussions, please remain civil, do not insult the people you’re talking to. Don’t escalate.

Handling Illegal Content

The moderation team treats illegal content with the utmost gravity. When made aware of the presence of illegal content, through Mastodon's reporting features, or third party app reporting features, or through our contact email address, hello@phpcommunity.org, we will take this down at the earliest opportunity.

The phpc.social Mastodon instance does not use proactive technology to detect illegal content.

We include specific provisions for the following types of content.

Terrorism Content

The type of content defined under Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule 5 will be taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be reported to law enforcement.

CSEA Content

The type of content defined under Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule 6 will be taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be reported to law enforcement.

Priority Illegal Content

The type of content defined under Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule 7 will be taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be reported to law enforcement.

Complaints and Appeals

Complaints about content are best reported through Mastodon's reporting features, be that on the web site or through third party applications. This creates an audit trail.

To appeal moderation actions you may contact us at hello@phpcommunity.org.

The decision made by the moderators is final. It is a privilege to use this service, and not a right.

Reporting Harassment

To report harassment, click the three vertical dots (⋮) on a user's profile and select "Report @user." For urgent concerns, you may contact us at hello@phpcommunity.org.

Policies

Your continued used of phpc.social implies your agreement to our policies. If you disagree with our policies, please discontinue use of our services.

We fully subscribe to and comply with the Mastodon Server Covenant. A number of instance blocks are implemented to comply with the principles of the covenant and to prevent our users from being exposed to content that does not comply with our instance rules.
Instance rules
  1. No sexually explicit or violent media
  2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism
  3. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies
  4. No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users
