OpalstackMastodon for Professionals and BrandsManaged Hosting tailored for developers, entrepreneurs, and businesses. Benefit from our industry-leading support and focus on your market without the hassles of administration or content moderation.
RulesWe rigorously adhere to the
Mastodon Server Covenant. The admin team actively addresses reports, offering guidance and, if necessary, immediate intervention in cases of abuse.
English Language OnlyEffective from September 2023, accounts with non-English information in their profiles will be suspended. This measure addresses the surge of fake accounts promoting SPAM in other languages. Our admin team is proficient in English moderation, making it the exclusive language for our platform.
Server BlockingWe block instances promoting extreme political views (both far-right and far-left) due to their potential for abusive tactics and hate speech promotion. Additionally, instances with incompatible rules or technical issues that affect our server's functionality are subject to blocking. This includes, but is not limited to, kink, porn, anti-crypto, and anti-capitalist themed servers.
SPAMStrictly prohibited. Accounts suspected of SPAM will be banned immediately. Maintaining the server's reputation is paramount. We emphasize personal interactions and robust moderation to prevent SPAM, which is detrimental to our and your reputation. Brand awareness works on Mastodon through one on one interactions and genuine content, not SPAM advertising.
Prohibition of Gambling and Betting ActivitiesWe enforce a strict ban on all forms of gambling, gaming for money, betting, or related activities. This encompasses sharing links to gambling sites, discussing or promoting betting strategies, organizing betting pools, and any advertisements or sponsorships related to gambling. Violations may lead to warnings or bans, depending on the severity.
New Rule: Regulation of SPAM Content for Brands and ProfessionalsLink posting SPAM bots will not be tolerated. It doesn't work here. It harms the server. Build your own server or add ActivityPub to your website if you want this kind of engagement. This is an exploit pure and simple and we do not tolerate it.
Engagement and Authenticity
Purposeful Engagement: Content must engage the Mastodon community or use the ActivityPub protocol. Purely promotional content without meaningful interaction is SPAM.
Authenticity and Relevance: Posts should be authentic, relevant, and add value. Repetitive, irrelevant, or solely promotional content is considered SPAM.
Community Standards: Brands and professionals should foster community by participating in discussions, responding to feedback, and sharing content that reflects the interests and values of the Mastodon community.
Closed Enrollment Policy: To maintain quality and community engagement, open enrollment is closed. New members are selectively admitted based on alignment with community values and standards.
Non-compliance may lead to content removal, warnings, or account suspension. These rules aim to balance professional and brand contributions with the ethos of Mastodon and ActivityPub.
