Please read the #MastodonSandwich hashtag for updates about this instance.

You must read and follow our server rules.

Mastodon is radically open and decentralized. If you have concerns about your data's openness, risk, privacy, and security, then it's important to understand how this platform works. Please ask, and we'll be happy to go into detail! We will not sell your data, and will make every reasonable attempt to fight coerced disclosure of your data or our logs.

We want this instance to be a pleasant environment for you, while supporting free expression. This is a difficult balance. Although we won't always succeed, we try both to actively moderate our instance and to be permissive, reasonable, and understanding. Please don't hesitate to report toots, accounts, or instances to us for moderation.

We federate with most other Mastodon instances. We limit federation (showing their users' content only if you're following them) with instances that often carry content which our rules would forbid. We block federation with instances that seem to be dedicated to that content.

Our instance hosts some bots. (They are innocuous and deterministic; we don't allow generative AI.) If you don't want to see their toots, go to the "Filters" section of your preferences and filter the "#bot" hashtag.

Since we're a small instance and Mastodon is decentralized, our "Local timeline" isn't as busy as larger instances'. Our "Federated timeline" shows toots from any user across the fediverse who is followed by someone here on this instance. Please make interesting posts, and follow interesting people across the fediverse, to make these timelines awesome!
