Instance rules
- Don't be an asshole, and don't post anything illegal. Those concepts guide most other rules & moderation.
- No discrimination, harassment, or bigotry based on - but not limited to: race, color, ethnicity, nationality, religion, shape, sex, gender, sexuality, or ability.
Also, no disinfo, conspiracists, trolls, etc.
Please, also report these if encountered.
- Content Warnings & Sensitive Media labels are required for depictions of nudity, bloodshed, or extreme harm (NSFW.)
CWs, Alt Text, & PascalCase hashtags are encouraged to improve everyone's experiences, especially disabled users. However, policing or bullying people to use them is unacceptable.
- Small businesses & independent creators, along with their self-promotion, are welcomed and encouraged.
However, no big corp/org advertising, spam, or accounts.
No crypto advertising, spam, or accounts.
No "AI" advertising, spam, or accounts.
No proselytizing or preaching.
- Automated & Bot accounts must be labeled as such. If the account will be regularly posting more than 3 times a day, posts should be set as Unlisted/Quiet Public by default to prevent clogging up our Local Live Feed. No scraper, follow, or boost bots.
- Check out the admin's Pinned Posts for user info like: how to migrate servers, app suggestions, Mastodon norms, & more. The admin's profile can be found at https://kind.social/@Texan_Reverend
If you have questions or want help configuring your account & app, Texan_Reverend is only an @ away.
- For longer threads posted all on the same day, please set the Visibility of posts after the first one to Unlisted/Quiet Public. This keeps our Local Live Feed healthy and usable.
In general, consider that Public posts show up in our Local, and adjust Visibility settings accordingly when reasonable.

Profile photo is me: white guy in a navy blue hoodie with buzzed brown hair & beard wearing rectangular black glasses & a white Dräger 1950 trifold N95 adorned with a magnetic Pride flag pin. Under it is a blue, non-latex, exercise loop wrapped from below chin to crown of head, containing the beard for a proper seal.
