CODE OF CONDUCT:

1. 
   
   no systemic abuse such as sexism, racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, etc. when it comes to defining what constitutes "systemic abuse", the opinions of the marginalized are given priority at all times
   
   
2. 
   
   no harassment. harassment campaigns may not be spread here, even against "valid" targets; this includes doxxing and dogpiling. if you must call someone out, do it elsewhere and link it here
   
   
3. 
   
   CW sexually explicit content this includes images and text. all sexually explicit images must exclusively involve consent-capable adults. (as in, if asked whether they'd like to pose for an adult photo, they would be capable of responding "yes", and that would be able to stand up in court of law)
   
   
4. 
   
   this is an 18+ server. do not join or request access if you are not 18 years of age or over. we will remove accounts that are not 18+ accordingly. this is for the safety of our mod/admin team and users
   
   
5. 
   
   no unfocused misandry. this is due to its impact on non-binary, genderqueer, trans, disabled, poc, queer, and otherwise marginalized men. misandry focused at the top of the kyriarchy is not against the rules
   
   
6. 
   
   no pedophilia or zoophilia. this includes artistic depictions of characters that cannot give consent
   
   
7. 
   
   consent is important in all contexts. if you’re ever unsure, ask first. use content warnings (CW's) where required
   
   
8. 
   
   treat others with respect, and be respectful in kind. this instance is meant to be a friendly, welcoming space to all who are willing to reciprocate in helping to create that environment
   
   
9. 
   
   no AI-generated artwork. please

IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS:

we strongly recommend all users add alt text/image descriptions to their media uploads, as is largely custom on the fediverse, for the sake of the visually impaired (those using screenreaders and such). it doesn't have to be anything super verbose unless you want it to be, it can be something short and just enough to provide some context. we recognize that conflicting accessibility needs exist and this is not always possible and recommend using the #Alt4Me tag to request others to do it if doing it yourself isn't possible then editing it in afterwards

-

CONTENT WARNINGS:

content warnings are a tool to enable someone to opt-into your content. this is particularly useful when posting publicly, as opposed to unlisted. when you post publicly, your posts are received by people from this server and other servers that may not currently follow you

if you don't want to deal with CW's, feel free to post unlisted! unlisted posts work just like twitter and only go to your profile and followers and or people posts are boosted to

to use content warnings, click the CW button when composing your toots. this will hide the main body of your toot behind a line of text text like a subject line

ENFORCED CONTENT WARNINGS:

💜 nsfw/sexual discussion and imagery must be behind descriptive cw's (nudity, sex, kink discussion, etc)

💜 sensitive imagery (please use your best judgement on what content that most other users would find sensitive, such as photos of surgeries, abuse, war, deceased individuals, etc)

💜 please note that our sensitive media rules apply to profile photos and headers as well. since those images cannot be hidden behind sensitive media warnings, they are not allowed to contain content from enforced content warnings

SUGGESTED CONTENT WARNINGS:

💜 discussion of overtly political (relating to elected or unelected government officials) topics

💜 triggering topics (direct discussion of rape, trauma, abuse, suicide, transphobia, homophobia, etc). the intention is to provide a warning for users who may not want to consume this content, not to silence users who are sharing their negative experiences

💜 drugs or drug use

💜 advertisements for corporations

💜 "rage" posts and posts using mainly capital letters

SUGGESTED SENSITIVE IMAGE MARKING:

💜 eye contact images

💜 food related images

it's okay to ask others to CW certain topics, but it's also okay to ignore requests for CW's. people who do not like your CW choices can choose to mute or block you or use filters

harassing users to CW their content, as well as demanding CW's from folks talking about their personal experiences of racism and other forms of bigotry, is against our rules and could result in being banned

-

HARASSMENT INCLUDES:

💜 offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion

💜 unwelcome comments regarding a person's lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment

💜 deliberate misgendering or use of 'dead' or rejected names

💜 gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour in spaces where they're not appropriate

💜 physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like "hug" or "backrub") without consent or after a request to stop

💜 threats of violence

💜 incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm

💜 deliberate intimidation

💜 stalking or following

💜 harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes

💜 sustained disruption of discussion

💜 unwelcome sexual attention

💜 pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others

💜 continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease

💜 deliberate "outing" of any aspect of a person's identity without their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse

💜 publication of non-harassing private communication

-

The premiere Fediverse destination for music lovers who nod knowingly at each other from across the room when that song comes on.

About the Club

Liner notes are the printed text and graphical content often added to the packaging of musical recordings. Sometimes they contain little more than the list of songs and the people involved with recording them. Other times they contain fantastic inside looks at the recording process for an album, the song lyrics, critical reviews of the recording, mixed media explorations of the music's themes and content, and more.

Liner Notes Club is a Mastodon instance dedicated to providing fans of music with a place to socialize and share their love of making and listening to music.

If you are looking for a Mastodon instance without a strong local theme, we recommend exploring other options using the tools at https://instances.social/.

The Club is owned and operated by:

• @djsundog

The Moderation Team

The Club's moderators are:

• @djsundog

BY USING THE CLUB, YOU SIGNIFY AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THE TERMS OF USE AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY AND COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF USE, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE CLUB.

Governing Law

Liner Notes Club is located in Georgia, United States of America. You agree that these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, excluding its conflicts of law provisions.

Age Restrictions

Registration and participation on the Club is restricted to those individuals over 18 years of age, emancipated minors, or those who possess legal parental or guardian consent, and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations and warranties herein. By registering or participating in services or functions of the Club, you hereby represent that you are over 18 years of age, an emancipated minor or in possession of consent by a legal parent or guardian and have the authority to enter into the terms herein. In any case, you affirm that you are over the age of 13 as the Club is not intended for children under 13, per the requirement of COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Proteciton Act).

Any change or modification to the Terms of Use will be effective immediately upon posting by us. For any material changes to the Terms, we will take reasonable steps to notify you of such changes. In all cases, your continued use of the Club after publication of such modifications, with or without notification, constitutes acceptance of these modified Terms of Use.

Code of Conduct

Music is universal. Music unites across all cultural, linguistic, and ideological differences; we are one nation under a groove. What moves you? What gets your body twitching, your head nodding, your jaw hanging open in disbelief? What inspires you to create? We created the Club to celebrate the joy of experiencing music in whatever form your experience takes.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, if you love music, you are welcome here. Please help us ensure that everyone is welcome, by following these guidelines. This is not an exhaustive list of what we can and cannot do on linernotes.club. Take it in the spirit in which it is intended -- a guide to make it easier for everyone to participate in this community.

This code of conduct applies to all users of the Club, including its administrators and moderators. Violation of this Code may result in suspension from the Club. Additionally, violation of this code outside the Club may result in user suspensions, instance silencing or blocking (defederation).

1. General Guidelines

• Be welcoming. We strive to be a community that welcomes people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, religion, neurodiversity, and physical ability.
• Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. Members of the Club should be respectful of each other and of other users in the Fediverse.
• Choose your words with care. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down others or belittle their experiences.
• Make it easy for others to moderate their experience. Liberally use Content Warnings, hashtags, and unlisted/"Followers Only" posts so others can choose whether to engage with your content.
• De-escalate. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop. Avoid microaggressions such as "not all men," white/man/cis-splaining, knowingly using the wrong pronouns to address someone, posting about particular individuals without naming them ("subtooting"), and so on. If you make a mistake, apologize.
• No Gate-Keeping. We love all kinds of music in the Club, including much that you may not love. Accept and celebrate that we love it.
• Be friendly. Don't be a dick.

Cross-posting from other social media platforms to the Club is not permitted.

3.2 Bots

Bots are permitted under the following requirements:

3.3 External Use

3.3.1 Crawling, Indexing, and Archiving

Crawling https://linernotes.club to gather information about posts, post metadata, media, or other content hosted on the Club is prohibited for any purpose, including but not limited to analysis, creating databases, search indexes, or archives.

3.3.2 Federation

Federating with the Club is not guaranteed. Links between federated instances are temporary and may change or disappear at any time. The Administrators of the Club and their delegates determine which instances the Club will federate with and which are silenced, blocked, or suspended.

4. Copyright

Public toots are derived works that are protected by copyright.

All original content is copyrighted by the author and cannot be distributed or used without prior permission by the author. Do not repost or disseminate our users' original content anywhere without their express permission.

5. Moderation

The Club's administrators and their delegates will summarily and with prejudice suspend or terminate users who violate the Club's Terms of Service, and silence or block (defederate from) instances enabling those users. You may comport yourself however you wish; we are not required to provide you a platform to do so.

If you believe someone is violating Code of Conduct, we ask that you submit a report when you block the user or instance. Provide as much detail as is necessary for the Club's Moderation Team to have the context required to fully investigate the issue.

If you are reporting a user on an instance other than Liner Notes Club, please be sure to forward the report to the user's instance also.

5.1 Our Responsibilities

The Administrators and Moderation Team will endeavour to:

• Lead by example, abiding by the Terms of Use.
• Keep the atmosphere of the Club as welcoming and enjoyable as possible.
• Keep the Club online and functional for as long as possible.
• Clarify the standards of acceptable behaviour.
• Enforcing the Terms of Use with appropriate corrective actions when users are found to be in violation.

We will not act on complaints regarding:

• Good-faith criticism such as "This is sexist," "That comes off as tone deaf," "This comment offends me," and so on. Instead of reporting this kind of feedback, engage with it, apologize, or agree to disagree and move on.
• Swearing or profanity. Use filters or mute/block users whose language you don't enjoy.
• Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as "leave me alone," "go away," or "I’m not discussing this with you".

5.2 Corrective Actions

The following are some examples of corrective actions the Moderation Team may enact in specific situations. These are examples only and meant to illustrate our general approach to moderation. Each incident of reported unacceptable behaviour will be handled on its own merits.

If you are a Club member and violate our Terms of Use, we will:

• suspend your account;
• inform you via email of the suspension and the reasons for it; and
• explain what you need to do to be reinstated, such as apologize to affected parties or agree not to continue posting Prohibited Content.

If you are a user of a federated instance and harass one of our members, we will:

• suspend your account; and
• inform your instance's Moderation Team.

If another instance fails to actively moderate the posting of Prohibited Content via weak moderation, we will:

• silence the instance

If another instance explicitly or implicitly enables the posting of Prohibited Content or enables harassment, trolling, doxxing, and so on, we will:

• block (defederate from) the instance

5.3 Accountability

5.3.1 Moderation Decisions

Moderated servers -- that is, instances that are silenced or blocked by us -- will be posted to https://linernotes.club/about.

Changes to the moderated servers list will be posted using the #LinerNotesAdmin hashtag by one of the Moderation Team.

5.3.2 Appeals

If you believe the Moderation Team has made an error in judgement or the corrective action(s) we have taken are inappropriate, please contact us. The Moderation Team acts in good faith and strives to always act fairly, but we will make mistakes and when we do we will embrace those mistakes and learn from them.

In the event of a dispute, the Administrators may override the Moderation Team; their judgment is final.

5.3.3 Requests for Clarification

If you require clarification of these Terms of Use, or are unsure how to handle a potential violation of these Terms, please message the Moderation Team directly on Mastodon.

5.3.4 Changes to the Terms of Use

The Administrators and Moderation Team will occasionally update these Terms of Use as necessary. Minor updates such as edits for clarity or changes in Moderation Team membership will be posted using the #LinerNotesAdmin hashtag by one of the Administators. Significant changes to policy, such as changes to the Code of Conduct, will be drafted and made available for review and feedback by Club users for at least 5 days.
