Greetings Earthlings

Welcome Revolutionize Social!

I am @kivableu and this is one of what I hope will be many contributions to the Fediverse at large.

For now, registration is at my pleasure - and I'm only inclined to let family and friends, and maybe a few of their family and friends join up.

Important updates about this network (policy changes, status reports, etc.) will come from @overwatch. If you're a registered user, be sure you're following this account!

Funding

Free isn't cheap! Maintaining this place costs time and money - and perhaps a bit of my sanity.

Want to help keep it (and me) going and growing? Consider becoming a patron:

Code of Conduct

• 
  
  Don't be an ass. (See also: Rules 1-5.)
  
  
• 
  
  Be a good human. Be compassionate, respectful, and kind where it's warranted. Look out for others and don't be afraid to take a stand when it's necessary.
  
  
• 
  
  Be civil. Disagreements can and will happen, but how you engage matters. Debate or don't - just don't resort to personal attacks, harassment, or otherwise miserable behavior.
  
  
• 
  
  Be yourself. Do not impersonate individuals or brands that you have no official association with. Legitimate brand accounts are permitted, as are parody/satire accounts – so long as they are clearly designated as such.
  
  
• 
  
  Be active. Post genuine content and engage with your followers. Inactive accounts may be deleted to make room for new users.
  
  
• 
  
  Be considerate. Show regard for the needs, rights, claims, and feelings of others.
  
  
• 
  
  While not strictly necessary, the following tips can help improve the Fediverse experience for everyone:
  
  
  • Use "proper" hashtags so users can filter their content. For example: tagging political commentary with #Politics (or #USPol, #EUPol, etc.) will help folks who don't want to see posts about politics.
  • Content that may be distressing/triggering to others should have content warnings. This would include topics like death, mental health struggles, sexual assault, physical or drug abuse, and the like.
  • You have - and should use - the ability to add alt-text to your images. Image descriptions help folks who are visually impaired better navigate and enjoy the web. It's a great habit to develop! (You can also look into @altbot to generate them for you.)
  
  

Content Policy

Failure to comply with the following may result in warnings, removal of posts from the public timeline, or other account actions - and I have little patience for repeat-offenders.

• 
  
  Nothing illicit. Don't post or share anything that may be considered (legitimately) illegal in the United States, France, or the country in which you reside.
  
  
• 
  
  Explicit content should be marked as sensitive and/or with content warnings. This includes pornographic/sexual depictions, graphic violence, gore, etc. Explicit content is not allowed in profile or banner images.
  
  
• 
  
  Copyrighted material that is not your own should be credited to its creator or its source - and may be subject to removal upon request by the creator.
  
  
• 
  
  Advertising your projects and/or brands is allowed and encouraged. Using your account solely for that purpose is not. Mass-advertising and overuse of hashtags count as spam, as does excessively posting or boosting posts within a short period of time.
  
  
• 
  
  Do not spread demonstrably false or misleading information, especially if it's intended cause confusion or may endanger others. No scams. No “news” from unreliable or untrustworthy sources.
  
  
• 
  
  AI-generated content should be designated as such - and your account shouldn't just be AI content.
  
  
• 
  
  Warning: I will make every effort to download regular backups of this server, but my efforts alone may not be enough. I highly recommend you archive and export your data regularly to avoid its loss if there's catastrophic failure.
  
  

Moderation

It bears repeating: this is not a "free speech" instance. I have little interest in moderating this place to death, but it will be moderated. You can say what you like, but I don't have to provide the platform for you to say it, especially if it negatively impacts others.

My aim is to strike some balance between freedom of expression and creating a safe and inclusive experience for anyone who calls Revolutionize Social home. That said: the Fediverse is a vast and complicated place – and there are more than a few dark corners.

Don't forget you have the power to block problematic users and instances as you see fit.

If there is or something obscenely disturbing/offensive going on, report it as well so that moderators will be aware and can take action if it's deemed necessary. Reports made in bad faith or to silence legitimate criticism will likely be rejected and deleted without any response.

I am aware that there are Fediverse block lists available, but I’m not inclined to use them at this point, excepting a few of Seirdy's supplemental blocklists.

Do note: Mainstream corporate networks like Threads, Instagram, Medium, Fedica, Flipboard, and Minds - and potentially problematic ones like Truth Social and Gab - are and will be blocked, as will any mirrors and bridges (Birdsite, Bluesky, Nostr, etc.). This doesn't mean you won't be able to share links to these sites (within reason) - just that this server and theirs won't be directly visible to one another.

To prevent abuse, I have chosen not to publish the domain block list on this instance, but it may be provided upon request, depending on who's making the request.

Privacy/Terms

As is the case with pretty much everything online never assume what you do or say is private!

If you're new, be sure to read up on posting to Mastodon to learn about the different privacy options available.

Two warnings:

1. 
   
   Public posts are fair game - and they may end up being used in ways you don't want them to (like against you, to train AI, who knows) and end up in places you don't want them to be (stored on other instances, even after deletion).
   
   
2. 
   
   While your browsing may be encrypted via SSL, as it is here, your data is not. Even with the best security measures in place, posts that are followers-only and direct messages can still be accessed by anyone with the right mix of malice, knowledge, and means.
   
   

To increase security, I've disabled the profile directory and enabled authorized fetch. I've also disabled search engine indexing by default. If you want your profile to show in search results, you have the option to enable it in your account settings.

By signing up on this instance, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• 
  
  I personally have access to all posts and media via backups provided by our server host. I won't go digging or share this information unless I am legally compelled.
  
  
• 
  
  Instance rules, the conditions laid out above, and the general privacy policy.
  
  
• 
  
  Masto.Host privacy policy and terms of service.
  
  
• 
  
  OVH France terms of use and privacy policy (en Français - PDF translator available).
  
  

Stewardship

It's easy to be wary of Fediverse instances disappearing overnight. It's happened before.

Being a web host/administrator, I understand what it means to have people relying on me to provide continuity of service and Revolutionize Social is no different.

I am as passionate about this project as I am all my others but I don't know what the future holds. I can say this for sure, though: I will ask for help running this place if I feel I need it and, if it becomes too much for me, I will give plenty of notice before I start winding down.

Should the unthinkable happen, I have trusted individuals who have emergency access to the network, and they will keep it alive for at least a few months while the necessary announcements and arrangements are made to carry on and/or allow its users to migrate to another instance. I've also confirmed that Hugo, our server administrator, has done the same.

I think that's it...for now. Got questions? Get in touch. I'm here to help!

LGBTQIA+ Friendly server for Oceanic furries. Welcome to all the fluffs down under!

Welcome to Fluffs.au, the Mastodon server for furries in Oceania

We hope you enjoy your time interacting with the community. We aim to foster an inclusive and positive environment for all furries who join.

With that in mind, there are rules for the community in order to minimise bad play and encourage quality discussion and interaction. We ask you to follow, not just the letter of the law but the spirit of it, and we will apply these rules where we find them appropriate or where their application would benefit the community. Should you see any issues occuring on the server please bring it to the attention of one of the admins. Everything reported to us is treated with the utmost respect and kept confidential as desired by the reporter.

We will investigate members who break rules, act disrespectfully or who are harmful to our community. Warnings or bans may be issued where necessary. Please keep in mind that your online persona is not separate from you as a real life person. Behaviour within the server is considered similar to conduct at any in-person meet or event.

Please take the time to read our code of conduct

1. Read and abide by the Code of Conduct: https://wiki.fluffs.au/code_of_conduct
2. You must be at least 18 years old to use this website
3. Any NSFW / 18+ content MUST have a content warning
4. Do not discuss active legal matters involving you or another community member. Legal matters covered by public media (news articles, channels, general public knowledge) are exempt from this
5. If you have any problems with other members of the server, their behaviour or any content that they post, please contact an admin. Do not attempt to micro-moderate, engage in arguments or break rules yourself. Breaking rules will make it more difficult for us to help you
6. You are within your rights to block an admin but if any issue arises and we can’t contact you, you will be muted until another admin can contact you
7. The admins reserve the right to remove anyone for any reason. This exists so that we can make this community a safe space
8. Don’t try to subvert the rules. Remember to try to follow the spirit of the rules, rather than the letter

1. handon.club: limitation

An English speaking Mastodon instance that is a home for brewers, amateur and professional, and for people of all kinds who enjoy beer.

You can find more information and past revisions of our server rules here.

Support

This server is funded entirely by its users and its

1. Do not use slurs or racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist or otherwise discriminatory or hateful jokes or language or promote white supremacy, anti-Semitism, transphobia or other hateful ideologies.
2. Do not harass anyone, participate in group harassment of anyone, or otherwise engage in personal attacks. Posting or threatening to post other people’s personally identifying information (“doxing”) constitutes harassment.
3. Do not be intentionally antagonistic. A post or reply designed to provoke a confrontation is not acceptable.
4. Do not post adult content, including pictures containing nudity, or unwelcome sexual attention (including sexualized comments or jokes).
5. Do not use automated tools to toot without participating in the community. It is fine to post with an automated tool so long as you are an active member of the Mastodon.Beer community and respond to replies you receive here. Unmonitored accounts that post automatically are not acceptable.
6. Please post in English, at least for initial posts. The admin only speaks English. Until or unless that changes, this will make dealing with any issues or concerns simpler.
7. Do not post spam. Toots that are nothing other than a link and/or contain an inordinate number of hashtags are spam, as does any overly commercial self-promotion. (It is fine to toot about your own projects and share what you are excited to be working on — just keep the toot itself interesting).
8. Do not post about inflammatory, controversial subjects without a Content Warning. Content Warnings are also a kindness. Think of them as opt-in hash tags that might save someone creating an opt-out via a filter.
9. Do not “shitpost” which is defined as: "to post off-topic, false, or offensive contributions to an online forum with the intent to derail the discussion or provoke other participants".
10. Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour; criticize ideas, never people. You do not have to be nice, you are asked to try to be kind.
11. Do not tone police. Toots may violate the standards of civility we set on Mastodon.Beer, but you should not criticize users for their tone. Report them or feel free to block them. In neither case should you criticize their tone.

This server hopes to build a respectful community, with a diverse group of people: inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community; and standing up for POC, trans, and other marginalized communities.

About the Name

CONNECTOPUS /kuh-nektəpʊs/

When we (Octo and John V) had the idea for Connectopus, the friendly octopus connecting you with your community, back in 2016, the landscape seemed prime for a new social platform. We followed many creatives, performers, photographers, and others who had posts constantly reported while hateful and anti-science stuff was left up. After much thinking and when development stalled the idea was scrapped. Now seeing the need for more support to the distributed platforms, the time seemed right to bring the domain back as a Mastodon instance and turn development efforts towards contributing to the open source ActivityPub based ecosystem. Like a friendly octopoda, riding on the back of a proboscidean, here's our instance!

Moderation Team

Fearless leader: @Octo (she/her)
Tech nerd: @johnvenr (he/him)

You should follow @technuition (not a personal account - used for administrative purposes) to see real-time posts for information regarding the server. Also keep an eye out for announcements that appear at the top of your “Home” timeline under the little trumpet icon.

About the Server and Funding

Thanks to Octo, the server this instance runs on is administered and funded by Technuition, a woman owned small business providing IT, technology, and software development services.

If you are able, head to https://patreon.com/johnvenr to pledge your financial support to keeping the instance running - sadly servers and storage cost money and we don't have unlimited financial resources.

Trustees

Special thanks to our “Trustee” level Patreon supporters: @CAman

About the Instance

This Mastodon instance welcomes members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies. Hate speech and bullying won’t be tolerated. Just because you're behind a computer screen doesn’t mean that you don’t need to respect other people.

We intend for this instance and its moderation to run smoothly. We may or may not notify you when a report you've made has led to a punitive action. Not all punitive actions will be visible to users. First time offenders may have their offensive content removed, but repeat offenders may experience harsher measures up to and including the removal of access to this instance.

This group will not tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, Nazis, or hate speech which will be determined at the sole discretion of the moderators. All defamatory, abusive, bigoted, threatening, offensive, or illegal material (particularly things illegal in the US as that is where our server is hosted) is strictly prohibited. If you feel that you are experiencing bullying or harassment of any kind please report it to the moderators - report the post or email the administrator account.

We want our community to be able to discuss topics that may be of interest to others but triggering to some. Consent is important in all matters. Some may choose not to see your material so please label things accordingly. If you feel the topic you want to discuss may harm someone who comes across it, please mark it with a content warning (CW). The “CW” button or shield bubble icon with the “!” inside of it. This feature will hide an image that has sensitive content behind a warning banner that can be clicked on to access the material. Sensitive and triggering content may include but not limited to the following: NSFW (we will get into more detail about this later), images with direct eye contact, abuse, wars, graphic images, and mental or physical disorders. Be respectful that everyone has their own experiences and may be triggered by something that you are not triggered by so ensure that you have the proper labels on material. The bottom line is if someone in good faith asks you to CW your post, then kindly use the three dots and select "Delete and re-draft" but this time post with the proper CW.

Since this server is hosted in the US and as a result of (misogynistic) social expectations here, let’s be safe and put all toplessness regardless of gender presentation behind a CW. Any erotic content must also include a CW. If you’re looking to trade your favorite explicit adult content, this is not the place for that. There are other venues for that type of posting.

Further, NSFW is content that you wouldn’t want your manager to see or things you wouldn’t be caught sending to a minor. Minors may be able to see publicly posted non-CW content, so be mindful that your public posts might make their way in front of younger eyes. Please clearly mark explicit content with a CW.

Be respectful of others. We want this to be a welcoming place for people to share and discuss topics that mean something to them. Please try to discuss in good faith. Bad faith arguments are never beneficial. Any conduct intended to stalk or harass other users or moderators will not be tolerated. If one user has asked for another user to stop certain actions this can be considered harassment and will be addressed accordingly.

Posting or sharing someone's personal information, private data or demographic information without their permission is strictly prohibited.

Some of us make a living by advertising our products and services; however, we’d like to avoid having the instance devolve into a stream of advertisements or requests for money. We also understand that sometimes people need help and mutual aid requests are going to be necessary. If you are unsure if your post is going against this rule, please reach out to the administrator.

If you wonder why we mention actual Nazis this gives a pretty good idea: https://www.upworthy.com/bartender-explains-why-he-swiftly-kicks-nazis-out-of-his-punk-bar-even-if-theyre-not-bothering-anyone

tldr; Karl Popper in 1945:"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." Bartender at punk bar: "you have to ignore their (the Nazis) reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."
