SCI站是学术奇思妙想所创造的空间，初衷是为饱受学术之苦的小象们创造一块自留地，能够分享学术时期的心路历程从而互相安慰与互相鼓励。同时我们也欢迎所有朋友加入我们一起碎碎念，让小象们的生活哲学能够交融于此。

欢迎来到 Moresci.sale（SCI站），我们欢迎任何热情、友好、乐于分享的朋友们加入，和我们一起在这个互相信任的小空间里分享这个世界的别有洞天。 无论是艺术、书籍和学术，还是摸鱼、闲聊和吐槽，请无拘无束地在本站自由发言吧！

为了本站可以长久稳定的运行，本站实行长期的邀请注册机制，并且视在线人数和服务器的运载程度来决定是否可以增大实例的人数上限。

本站点基于开源软件长毛象（Mastodon）建立。不同于微博或 Twitter，这是一个开源的去中心化社交网络。去中心化设计防止社交数据被利益集团垄断，也增加了屏蔽审查的难度。整个长毛象网络由上千个实例组成，这些实例相互连接，最终形成了一个庞大的网络，就像是一个巨大宇宙。每一个服务器都是宇宙中的一个星系，用户就是每个星系里的行星。

我们启用了备用站点：moresci.icu
We have alternate site(domain) enabled: moresci.icu

1. 为了保证SCI站的稳定运行我们会「严格审核你的申请」，请在注意隐私的前提下填写以下申请理由中的「至少三项」（学术方向、在SCI站想要做什么、其他实例的账号、学术计划、兴趣爱好等其他自我介绍），更详尽的申请理由可以加快我们的审核速度。
2. 本站表情仅供学习交流，严禁用于商业用途，请于 1 银河年 (galactic year) 内删除。
3. 本站的其他使用条款以 o3o.ca（嘟站）和m.cmx.im（长毛象中文站）的交集为准。 同样的，如果您没有学术研究方向/希望讨论偏政治的内容，我们建议您重新考虑以选择更适合自己的 fedi 站点。

Mastodon Server for the LGBT+ Bear Community. Be Nice. Be over 18 years old. Fill out "Why do you want to join?" so we know you're here for the right reasons.

Basic rules:

1. Be nice.
2. Adult posts are fine. But if you’re going to do them, check the CW icon that says “Add Content Warning” and briefly describe (in a non-explicit language) the contents of your post (e.g. "NSFW contains nudity" or "NSFW contains adult language"), so those that do not wish to view it aren’t forced to.
3. No hate speech. No one wants to hear your homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic bullshit. And we certainly don't wanna hear it here.
4. No copyrighted or lifted photos. A basic rule of thumb, if it's not your photo don't post it here. "Boost" someone's post, don't just steal it.
5. No pictures or videos of abuse or cruelty to humans and animals. There's enough of that horrible shit on the internet. I don't want it here.

1. Be nice
2. This is a great place to post info and pics about you! Adult content is allowed here, buy ONLY WITH A CONTENT WARNING and MARKED AS SENSITIVE. This includes artwork and text that is of adult nature.
3. This is a terrible place to dump all the random porn you've found around the internet. Please find a different Mastodon server that can afford to host it all for you. Or better yet, stay on Twitter.
4. No hate speech
5. No gore/abuse/cruelty
6. No spam, advertising, or copyrighted work
7. Avatar and Profile header should not have nudity or contain offense image or language.
8. By signing up you are certifying that you are over 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years old, please find a different server.
9. If any pictures or drawings posted looks even slightly underage we will ban and report your account details to the authorities without hesitation. When in doubt, don't even THINK about posting or boosting it here.

1. This server is subject to the Newsmast Foundation Community Guidelines

A place for people who are chronically ill, mentally ill, disabled, and friends/families/allies to come together, meet, share knowledge and random banter, and just about anything else.

Disabled Social keeps Disability Justice as a priority in building an intentional, supportive, accessible community, where we do not rely on unsustainable and exploitive technology and systems. You can read more about the principles of Disability Justice here: www.sinsinvalid.org/blog/10-principles-of-disability-justice

Current team: Aaidanbird (admin), McCullohMD (Admin, tech), Emily_rj (mod), elmiller0330 (mod)

There has been some concern expressed from members of the disability community on Twitter over people that have been blocked by some of the people running disabled.social. People who have been blocked over on Twitter either individually or as part of a block chain, are welcome here. The admins and moderators will not be personally blocking anyone on disabled.social unless there are threats of violence or overt defamatory claims made (which is a rules violation, and your account will be handled accordingly). There are several of us running this instance, so if there is an issue you need to raise, hopefully there is someone here that you are comfortable speaking with.

ALL are welcome here.

Sign Ups

When signing up, please indicate both why you want to join disabled.social and more importantly, how you plan to use the instance.

We have many organizations, charities, non-profits, adaptive tech developers, attorneys, medical providers with businesses, etc. interested in joining the instance, and we want to understand how you plan on using our space which is intended as a support space for disabled people.

We do not allow marketing to disabled people or mining them for your own commercial gains under any circumstances.

Recruiting for research projects may be allowed, but they must be submitted to our team for approval before posting.

Failure to answer how you plan to use the instance will result in rejection of your application.

Rules

"Be excellent to each other" is easier said than done, and means different things to different people.

The following rules are a (non-exhaustive) list of behaviors that may lead to deletion of toots, silencing or suspension of accounts, at the discretion of the instance moderators, as described in our Terms.

Please scroll through the entirety and review all of the rules.

Please report offensive behavior to the contact email address provided. Reports will be kept confidential.

• We do not tolerate discriminatory behaviour or content promoting/advocating the oppression of members of marginalised groups. These groups may be characterized by any of the following (though this list is naturally incomplete): Ethnicity or race; Gender identity or expression; Sexual identity or expression; Physical characteristics or age; Disability or illness; Nationality, residency, citizen status; Wealth or education; Religious affiliation, agnosticism, or atheism; Neurodivergence
• We do not tolerate threatening behavior, stalking, or doxxing.
• We do not tolerate harassment, including block evasion, brigading, dogpiling, or any other form of contact with a user who has stated that they do not wish to be contacted.
• We do not tolerate mobbing, including name-calling, intentional misgendering, or deadnaming.
• We do not tolerate violent nationalist propaganda, fascism, Nazi symbolism, or promoting the ideology of National Socialism.
• We do not tolerate conspiracy narratives or other reactionary myths supporting or leading to the above-mentioned (and/or similar) behavior.
• Scientific discussion is critical to our community. However, conspiracy theories related to anti-vaxx and COVID19 without any scientific basis will not be tolerated.
• If you wish to recruit for a research project, do not spam the server and do not tag random members. All research recruitment must be sent to us first, where we will evaluate if it's okay to post for our members or if it is best to do recruitment elsewhere. The safety of our members is paramount.

Actions intended to damage this instance or its performance may lead to immediate temporary or permanent account suspension.

Content that is illegal in the United States will be deleted and may lead to immediate account suspension.

General Best Practices

The list below is a collection of behaviors that we expect to see from our users. If you see a user go against these best practices in a way that bothers you, please file a report and we will talk to them. While these best practices are designed to be guidelines for a good communal instance, repeated malicious unwillingness to follow the best practices will be considered just like breaking a rule.

• In general, use the tools provided to foster a considerate and accessible atmosphere. This includes the liberal use of content warnings (especially on potentially disturbing or controversial topics), and alt-text captioning of media files.
• When possible, provide credit for creative works in your posts that are not your own.
• Uninvited comments about another user's personal choices, lifestyle or family are strongly discouraged and may be considered harassment. Inappropriate sexual attention, comments about appearance and implication of physical contact will not be tolerated toward any non-consenting user.
• If you post sexual content or gore, use content warnings.
• If you post advertisements, use a content warning. Advertisements should not be excessive or automated.
• Bots may only interact with a user when they're invited by that user to do so.
• Automated posts and high-frequency posts should be unlisted (rendering visible to everybody, but not appearing on the local timeline) to keep the local timeline of our instance a place of community dialogue and human interaction. This extends to bots, feed posters, Twitter "retweets" and Twitter crossposts with broken mentions ("…@twitter.com"). Crossposter accounts that stop being active participants in our community may be removed at the discretion of the moderators.
• In discussions, please remain civil, do not insult the people you're talking to. When using sarcasm, please indicate with /s.
• Please be mindful of your language, and avoid the use of ableist and saneist language. We recognize that sometimes it can be hard to find another word to clearly communicate what you are trying to say. We have created a resource to help you find alternative language while still being able to convey your point.
• Please use captions in uploaded videos.
• There are times when users just want to vent about their situation. Unless requested explicitly, please do not drop unsolicited advice. In some cases, it might be ok to ask OP directly if they want advice.
• Spam should only be reported to us if it originates on the server or if you come across a server that is full of spammy accounts. Individual spam accounts should be reported to the originating server, not disabled.social.

Best Practices to Assist Screen Readers

Some of our users make use of screen readers. There are a few things that make for a smoother experience:

• Reminder to alt-text your images. If you are low on spoons, please use #AltTextHelp and someone from the community should be able to help and provide it.
• Avoid using multiple emojis in a row. Ex: putting 3 smiley faces in a row, or 60 red flags.
• If you want to use hashtags throughout a toot, please do so sparingly. Best to put the majority of them at the end of the toot.
• Use CamelCase for the hashtags. Ex: #DisabledSocial
• Please use as few emoji in usernames or screen names as possible (preferably none)
• Please don't scatter emojis between words in an alternating pattern. Ex: word followed by clapping hands emoji, repeated indefinitely. Use them sparingly.
• When sharing a link, please provide a brief description of where the link directs to.

(These best practices were inspired by the Terms of chaos.social. Thank you!)

Mutual Aid

The posting and sharing of mutual aid and fundraisers are welcome here on disabled.social because they are critical for the survival of some of our members. Disability payments are often woefully inadequate to meet the much higher cost of living as a chronically ill and/or disabled person. These types of things are sometimes the only way that someone can afford rent, can afford to move out of a terrible housing situation, to be able to afford a mobility aid, etc. Please do not report these posts as spam. If they bother you, you can filter them out of your feed. And regarding the hashtags used: that is up to the discretion of the member who is posting. They know which hashtags are best for their specific situation.

When doing a mutual aid request, please do not specifically @ a specific user or derail a non-related thread. This is exploitative behavior that is breaking personal boundaries. Please keep it as a general ask (which you are allowed to repost) AND/OR share it on mutual aid specific threads.

Admin/Mod Commitment to Non-Commercialization Statement

We all would like to reiterate that regardless of what any of us do for work, research, or advocacy, we will not be individually trying to commercialize the disabled.social instance.

Instance Blog

Our instance has a blog! You can check it out here.

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!

A Mastodon instance for the blind community.

With our cane, we're able.

Welcome to CaneAndAble.social. You might be wondering what we’re all about. Well, we are owned and run by Blind people. Yes, that’s Blind with a capital B! We are Disabled, and that’s not a bad word. We believe that you can live your life as a Blind person and take pride in yourself and your accomplishments, No, we’re not amazing because we are Blind, we’re amazing because we are all unique individuals with vastly different lived experiences, skills, talents, and points of view. Being Blind is part of who we are, and how we experience life and the world around us.

This community is for people who will celebrate your wins with you, give you a shoulder to lean on when you need it, and who genuinely care about lifting each other up, and helping one another through whatever life throws at you.

If you’re Blind and you want to share a server with supportive folks who genuinely take pride in their Blindness, and who take a positive approach to living life as a Disabled person, you’ve come to the right place! Please read our rules and then fill out your application. We can’t wait to meet you!

1. Be respectful: Do not harass, demean, insult, or otherwise intentionally cause harm to other users.
2. Do not discriminate against anyone on the basis of disability, gender, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation (or those who aren’t religious at all),, age, or appearance.
3. Do not harass anyone on local or federated servers.
4. Please use content warnings for posts that might be controversial, such as discussing politics or religion, or for NSFW content. If you’re not sure, your best bet is to use a content warning just to be safe.
5. Do not spread misinformation, disinformation, or malinformation.
6. Do not post content that would violate copyright laws.
7. Please describe all of your media posts so everyone can enjoy them. This includes writing alt text for images, and descriptions for audio and video files.
8. We place a high value on human interaction. Please do not use your account on this instance to only crosspost from other social media platforms.
9. Do you own a business, run a podcast, produce music, etc? We highly encourage self-promotion, as long as it does not include spamming other users, promoting fraudulent or illegal activity, such as crypto currency schemes, or sending unsolicited messages.
10. If you have read and understood these rules, please include the word “ability” in the “reason for joining” field of your application.

Welcome to Newsmast. Knowledge-sharing social media with a conscience, built around communities and powered by Mastodon.

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.

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.
