About This Search Engine

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 (if you already have an account on the Fediverse and want to receive one daily post with a summary of the new Mastodon instances that our crawler discovers daily, you can follow @nmiab@kolektiva.social; alternatively, you can also view them here).

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, of any kind, involving mastodon.help, or to suggest instances to exclude according to the above criteria, please contact us at our e-mail address, arbuk+masthelp[at]disroot.org.

Important Notes for Instance Administrators

If you don’t want your instance to show up here, please e-mail us at arbuk+masthelp[at]disroot.org.

If your instance is behind a web firewall such as Anubis or Cloudflare, and you want it to be listed here, you must configure the firewall to allow our bot, which makes no more than a dozen HTTP requests per day, to connect to your instance, by whitelisting it by User-Agent and/or IP address. Our bot’s User-Agent is mastodon.help; the IP address from which it makes requests is the same as this site’s, 65.108.133.80.

Mastodon @ SUNET is a public Mastodon instance operated by the Academic Computer Club in Umeå. Välkommen!

Majority of posts in English and Swedish, but we welcome language diversity!
Long description
WELCOME TO MASTODON@SUNET!

We're a public Mastodon instance hosted and maintained by the Academic Computer Club in Umeå, Northern Sweden.

We hope you'll be happy here, but if you find it's not for you, there are many other instances to choose from.

Terms of Use


General Use

When using mastodon.acc.sunet.se, we ask that you comply with the established rules and usage policy of the Academic Computer Club (ACC) (available in English and i Svenska) and of SUNET.

We welcome language diversity, and support the right of users to post in the language of their choosing.

Accounts on mastodon.acc.sunet.se are for personal use. Please see the code of conduct if you need clarification on personal vs. commercial use.

You may not post (or boost/repost):

  • material illegal under Swedish law,
  • material in breach of Swedish or EU copyright laws,
  • material that may damage ACC's public image or its relationship with authorities or other institutions.

It is up to ACC to make the final determination what material violates our usage policy or may damage our public relations and to take suitable action, which may include removal of the material and suspension of your account.

Code of Conduct

This code is not all inclusive, and you shouldn't assume something not explicitly prohibited is acceptable. When in doubt, err on the side of empathy, civility, and kindness.

Taking part in online interaction obliges the user to abide by current rules and netiquette.

On Mastodon, this includes using the CW function and the #NSFW hashtag, and choosing an appropriate level of public display for your posts. We encourage our users to add alt text to their images to make our instance more inclusive for people with visual impairment.

Media that contains violent or explicit imagery, or that could reasonably be assumed to be upsetting to an average person, should always be marked as sensitive.

Be considerate of other people.

Please remember what you say on mastodon.acc.sunet.se is public and can be seen by any person on the internet, many of whom have backgrounds and values that differ from yours; take a moment before posting and think about ways your message might be misunderstood. Likewise, remember that many things you read may be written by people with different values or from different backgrounds than yourself, and they might not have understood how their message could be read in a negative way.

Racism, sexism, and hateful messages about sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, or any cultural, ethnic, caste, or religious identity or background are absolutely prohibited.

You may not use services hosted by ACC to violate another person's integrity.

This includes compiling and posting personal information about another person ("doxxing"), posting personal communications from a person without their permission, sending harassing or abusive messages, or coordinating harassment against other people ("dogpiling").

Bot accounts and accounts that use excessive automated posting may be suspended or silenced if they're disruptive or degrade performance.

Please be considerate when programming your bots or using automatic posting services or applications, and use rate limiting and unlisted post visibility. You may also want to consider hosting your bot on a bot-friendly instance like botsin.space.

Uncurated autoposters and newsbots posting from feed sources are not permitted.

You may not use services hosted by ACC for commercial purposes.

There's not always a clear line between personal and commercial activity, especially for people who work on a freelance basis in creative and technical fields. If your account is for personal social interaction with other people, even if you're talking to people who work in your industry or sharing the kind of work you also do professionally, it's probably fine.

If your primary use for a Mastodon account is to advertise your products or services, post affiliate links, build your brand, connect with customers, or grow your audience, it's probably a commercial account and not allowed on mastodon.acc.sunet.se. If you need Mastodon for your business, why not run your own? :)

If you see content which you believe is in breach of this code or our usage rules, please report it for review.

If you're unsure whether something is a violation of our policies, but it feels questionable, please do report it. We'll review it before taking any action.

Reporting an Issue

For technical issues, use the administrator contact information listed under "Contact"

For content or abuse issues:

  • If you're a user on mastodon.acc.sunet.se you can use the "Report" function on the post you would like to report;
  • if you're not a user on mastodon.acc.sunet.se, you may report the post from your server and choose to send us an anonymised copy.
  • if you're an administrator of another server who would like to discuss a report you received about one of our users, please use the administrator email listed under "Contact".

For privacy reasons, we do not discuss abuse reports in public channels.

Privacy

ACC does its best to respect the privacy of individual users, but please remember that nothing on the internet is really private and consider that anything you publish may be available forever.

Mastodon is not a secure channel for sensitive communication.

In accordance with ACC policy, staff may examine user accounts hosted on the association's equipment if they suspect activity that conflicts with the association's rules.

We abide by the standard Mastodon privacy policy and our copy is located here.

Federation Policy

mastodon.acc.sunet.se values the ability of its users to connect with other people across the federation and will do its utmost to preserve that connectivity. By default this instance federates with all other Mastodon and Mastodon-compatible instances in the network.

Federation limitations such as silencing or media rejection may be used when content from another server conflicts with what's allowed on our server. This is usually due to incompatibility between contant allowed on our instance and content allowed on theirs. You're still able to follow and communicate with users on a silenced instance, but their posts will not appear in the public timelines on mastodon.acc.sunet.se. Please exercise discretion when boosting posts from these instances.

Full federation suspension is only implemented in cases of network-disrupting technical difficulties, or hostile or malicious activity.

Currently, federation limitations or suspensions are made on a case by case basis and we do not employ any third party blocklists.

A full list of instances with which we limit or suspend federation may found below under Moderated servers.

If you're the admin of a server on the list, you can reach us via our contact email to let us know when your situation is resolved and it's safe to restore connection.

I. Adatkezelői adatok ● Adatkezelő: Kovács Béla (a továbbiakban: Adatkezelő) ● Web: www.magyarmastodon.com ● E-mail cím: civilmedia@gmail.com ● Telefonszám: + 36 70 661 0319 II. Az adatkezelés jogalapja, célja, az adatkezelés időtartama, a kezelt személyes adatok köre II./1. Ismertető a www.magyarmastodon.com webhelyen használt sütikről II./1./a, Mik azok a sütik? A sütik (HTTP-cookies) kis információcsomagok, melyeket a szerver küld el a felhasználók számára, melyet a webböngésző program (pl. Google Chrome, IE, Firefox) ment el a számítógép merevlemezén. Így weboldalak böngészése közben, vagy a weboldalak bezárását majd újra megnyitását követően a felhasználók számára fontos információkat a szerver el tudja érni. Így fontos beállítások, pl. egy bevásárlókosár tartalma egy webáruházban nem vész el, a webhely „emlékszik” az adatokra, nem szükséges azok ismételt megadása. A sütik elfogadása nélkül a weboldal egyes funkciói nem fognak megfelelően működni. Bővebb technikai információ: https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP-s%C3%BCti II./1./b, Milyen feladatra használ sütiket a www.magyarmastodon.com webhely? ● Kosár tartalma: a kosár tartalmát sütik segítségével jegyzi meg a webáruház. Ha a vásárlás előtt Ön elnavigál az oldalról, később visszatérvén a kosárban megtalálja a kiválasztott termékeket. Élettartama: 30 nap ● SESSION-azonosító süti: a kosárba került tételekről a szerveren indult munkamenet tárolja az adatokat. A munkamenet azonosító kódját a SESSION azonosító süti tartalmazza. A munkamenet a vásárlás befejeztével, vagy a böngésző bezárásával automatikusan megszűnik. ● Sütik elfogadása: amennyiben Ön a sütik elfogadásra gombra kattint ezt is sütik segítségével jegyezzük meg, hogy a későbbiekben ne jelenjen meg a sütik használatára vonatkozó figyelmeztetés a lapok alján. Élettartama: 1 év ● Vásárlók beazonosítása: amennyiben Ön a vásárlás során bejelöli a „Kérem az adataim megjegyzését a jövőbeli rendeléseim megkönnyítéséhez” opciót az adatok az Ön számítógépén, http-sütik segítségével kerülnek feljegyzésre 1 évig. II./1./c, A sütik törlése Természetesen egyes sütik (pl. a bevásárlókosár tartalmáért felelős) értelemszerűen törlődnek, amikor használatuk már feleslegessé válik (pl. vásárlás befejezése). Ettől függetlenük Ön is törölheti a sütiket, ha törli a böngészési előzményeket. Pl.

This is a general-purpose Mastodon instance managed in Boston, Massachusetts. All are welcome to sign up, so long as the rules are followed.

We also relay with over 1,500 other servers, some very large. This means we share each other's posts and accounts in real time. Your posts go to those servers immediately, even if there are no follow relationships. Servers without relay relationships only share posts when there are follow relationships. Your audience is large here, and you see more posts than you would on servers that do not relay.

You can see the incoming messages arriving here from all over the Fediverse from the relay by going to our Live feed

When signing up, you must read the quick, short set of rules presented to you. Requesting an account is confirmation that you read and agree to abide by our rules.

Excellent Mastodon FAQ

Tips on using Mastodon

Lots of information on how to use Mastodon

Technical information and work log

Important to know to get the most from Mastodon, is to understand the difference between hashtag use on Twitter and on Mastodon.

You can follow hashtags in Mastodon so that any posts visible to this server that have the hashtag, will appear in your timeline. You don't have to search for a hashtag as you do on Twitter.

Therefore, using hashtags in Mastodon is important if you want people in other instances to see your post. And it's a great way to be discovered and to discover other interesting people.

You can follow a hashtag by clicking on it within a post and then clicking the "+" in the top-right corner.

On this server, the maximum number of characters in a post is 12,000. The Mastodon default is 500, but I bumped it higher. Also, note that a URL in a Mastodon post always counts as 23 characters, regardless of its true length. URL shorteners are not required for Mastodon posts.

Leaving Twitter? Add your Mastodon account name to your Twitter profile, so others can find you on Mastodon. Your Mastodon account name looks something like this: @jerry@hear-me.social

DMCA Takedown Notices: We adhere to the rules regarding DMCA Intellectual Property takedown notices. Please send notices to DMCA@hear-me.social. This email address is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office

This server prohibits posting copyright-protected materials, and we will remove these materials when notified. Anyone found posting copyrighted materials may or may not be notified before having their account suspended. A suspended account has 30 days to contact us, at admin@hear-me.social, to appeal.

This server prohibits posting Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM). Images are actively scanned. Their mathematical hashes are compared to the hashes of known CSAM images in the NCMEC.ORG database. Any matches are automatically reported, and the image is blocked. Nobody, nor any software, looks at the actual images, it's just a mathematical calculation on the bits.

While I do not believe anyone on this server posts CSAM material, since we relay with over 1,500 other servers, it is necessary to scan the images the server is exposed to.
Instance rules
  1. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, threats, doxing, trolling, misogyny, or ageism. No attacks on someone's religion, culture, language, or country of origin. Don't be insulting and argumentative. To be here, you must be nice to people.
  2. No spreading misinformation
  3. Do not spam or create spam accounts
  4. No impersonating people or brands. If doing so as satire, it must be clearly labeled as such.
  5. Do not post copyrighted materials
  6. No ads without permission
  7. NO CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE POSTINGS (CSAM)!
  8. Posting nude photos, controversial pictures, and NSFW (Not Safe For Work) posts without content warnings and appropriate hashtags is not allowed. NSFL (Not Safe For Life) posts are not allowed.
  9. Targeted misgendering, deadnaming, or promotion of so-called "conversion therapy" is prohibited.
  10. Content created by others must be attributed, and use of AI must be disclosed. Profiles that only post AI-generated content will be suspended
  11. You must be at least 16-years-old to open an account here
  12. No trolling. Trolls add nothing but annoying noise to a conversation.
  13. No self-expiring email addresses
  14. Do not use inappropriate hashtags to unfairly extend the reach of posts. This results in account suspension.

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.

Long description
Penguicon.social Code Of Conduct - Last Updated: March 21st, 2024

This User Agreement governs users' access to and use of Penguicon.social.

To use this site, you must be 16 or older and attended Penguicon in person.

Privacy policy.

Penguicon's in-person Code Of Conduct applies to the convention weekend, and so it discusses things like alcohol and swimming pools. Year-round, the internet enables stalking, persecution campaigns, and privacy violations at a scale not achievable in three days in a convention hotel. Therefore, this page addresses a different set of concerns.


Content Warning Etiquette

Use the button marked CW ("Content Warning") to hide discussions of an explicit and graphic nature, so that a reader must click if they wish to see it.

Use the Eye button when posting images more sexually explicit than PG13.

Keep your avatars and header images PG13.

Use the following content warnings on content or links containing evocative or graphic depictions. They are not required on factual, clinical, and dry, or brief mentions. CW: Suicide, CW: Rape, CW: Sexual Assault, CW: Pedophilia.

Mods might delete posts that skirt a grey area.

Unsolicited Sexual Advances, Ads, And Other Spam

Do not use Penguicon.social to directly approach prospects as a marketing tool to send unsolicited sales pitches to users you barely know. This includes, for example:

  1. unsolicited sexual advances
  2. selling your company's products
  3. unsolicited sexual advances
  4. religious proselytization
  5. UNSOLICITED SEXUAL ADVANCES
  6. other spam

If the recipient deems your message welcome, we will not act against it. That determination is up to them at the time of receipt. This places the risk on you as the sender, not on them.

If companies use Penguicon.social, they are asked to mostly use it to participate in discussions taking place on social media. Acceptable uses include opinions and education about their trade, and engagement with their company's users who request support. Such uses should be presented as a specific individual representing the company. But if they post little more than promotional links to their own company's website, that is prohibited.

Pronoun Etiquette

Avoid using pronouns or names for a person that that person has asked not to be used.

Prohibited Uses

The following are prohibited even if placed on mute or hidden behind a content warning.

Penguicon.social places a domain block on dozens of other servers in the Fediverse that would otherwise bring this onto our server.

1. Sexualized depictions of people who appear to be minors, real or imaginary.

2. Intimidation of groups needing special protections.

We do not provide a platform for intimidation behaviors to drive marginalized, vulnerable groups out of an online space.

  1. Race
  2. Sexual orientation
  3. Gender or gender presentation
  4. Disability
  5. National origin
  6. Physical appearance
  7. Religious tradition of origin

"Asshole" is not a protected category.

3. Conspiracy theories and disinformation.

We do not provide a platform to promote the following:

  1. Religious justifications for marginalizing vulnerable minorities
  2. Holocaust Denial
  3. "Cultural Marxism"
  4. "The Great Replacement"
  5. Denial that humans are causing climate change
  6. Opposition to vaccination
  7. Flat earth

Harassment

Harassment is a subcategory of misconduct, defined as a pattern of unwelcome interactions targeting a specific person over time.

Penguicon’s Board tracks reports of misconduct over multiple years and considers patterns of misconduct for multi-year disciplinary action, regardless of whether incidents occurred at Penguicon. We need your help to identify whether the incidents you are experiencing on Penguicon.social are part of a pattern you do not know about.

Harassment applies to electronic communication as well as physical. Participants must not engage in misconduct at convention venues or convention-related social events, not just the Penguicon weekend.

Do not persistently pursue someone who no longer wishes to interact with you. Suppose Mods are made aware that you are doing this outside of Penguicon.social, Mods will make your personal life our business by taking appropriate actions on your Penguicon.social account.

We can tell when someone is abusing the misconduct reporting system as a tool of harassment. Software developers on the Mod team are prepared to respond to attempts to flood our complaints system with frivolous reports on every post made by a victim of a harassment campaign.

Moderator Actions

The Mod responses to known violations of this CoC will depend on the severity and the context of whether the offender is skirting a grey area with a frequency that increases the workload of the mods.

Mods reserve the right to escalate the response as quickly as necessary, even to Suspend for a first offense based on their judgment.

  1. Education.
  2. Deleting one or more posts.
  3. Setting the person's account(s) to Silenced mode (invisible to all but those who are following the Silenced person). Mods will inform the Silenced person of the duration to be spent Silenced.
  4. Setting the offending person's account(s) to Suspended (deleted and unable to create another account).
  5. Banning or blocking emails, entire email domains of known spammers, or entire Mastodon domains to prevent a person from interacting with our users.

Mods must take aside individuals privately when asking them for changes to their behavior. If Mods publicly embroil an audience of bystanders who can do nothing to resolve a conflict that needs to be handled by a Mod, they will be removed from Mod duty.

Mods may not publicly vent about being a Mod. They will be immediately put on a time-out from Mod duty if they post to express exhaustion or dissatisfaction with the role. We all have different amounts of energy at different times. Mods are expected to be prepared to need to calm the flame wars. That requires a minimum of mental and emotional health to avoid fanning the flames. Those who are low on energy must spend some time in a different role than Mod so they can receive energy instead of spending it.

You may appeal the decisions of the mods by emailing communications@penguicon.org.
