Oslos uavhengige sosiale nettverk. For alle med en tilknytning til Oslo. Snakk med lokale og millioner verden over. Et etisk valg: Ingen algoritmer, ingen store-tech. 🇳🇴

👋 Welcome

Welcome to a social network for people in the Norwegian capital of Oslo.

Similar to other social networks, you can make your own profile, post messages, images, polls, videos, follow other members, follow hashtags and see what’s Trending.

Unlike other social networks, this one is owned and operated by people in Oslo. It's free to use, there's no whacky algorithm deciding what you see and no tracking your every move to harvest your personal data.

✨ Sign up now to claim your username. ✨

🧬 How does this work?

Just like a real town there is lots of things happening in your local area and you can see whats happening on this server through the Live Feeds option. However, if you want to explore the wider world, there is a Trending page and a page to show you more posts from around the world.

When you see something interesting, you can ‘Follow’ that person for future updates. Everything you follow appears in your Home timeline. You can follow anyone in the whole world, whether they are local or not. You can also follow Hashtags to see the latest posts about things that interest you.

If you see something you didn't want to see, you can Mute or Block that person. If you see something which you don't think should be on the internet, you can Report it to The Mayor.

🏵️ The Mayor

When you sign up to the website, it is recommended that you follow @themayor to get the latest updates straight from the oslo.town town hall.

The site is run by the user @matt but also pretends to be the character of @themayor. This is also why so many things are in English so far - his Norwegian sucks. Sorry about that.

🙋 FAQ

Is this linked to Oslo Kommune?

No. The site is independently run and is not endorsed by Oslo Kommune. The logo of oslo.town is meant to be a parody and tribute to the official Oslo logo, but that is where the link ends. The account @kommune is not currently maintained or monitored by Oslo Kommune.

How much does it cost The Mayor to run oslo.town?

In short, about 2300 NOK each month and we run on donations. We have a Patreon, Ko-Fi, PayPal and Vipps to collect money.

Every month the costs and donation totals are published on this blog and shared by @themayor.

I see offensive content. Can you block it?

If you see an account you see posting offensive content, please use the Block and Report functionality. If this is content that is not hosted on oslo.town then check the option which says Forward to... which will report the account to the appropriate administrator.

Directly from the offensive post, you can also click the option Block Domain which will prevent you from seeing any future content from that website.

We have a set of server rules you should follow. In addition to this, the policy at oslo.town is as follows:

• We will ensure that bad things don't happen on the Local timeline.
• We attempt to hide (but not block) any NSFW or spam content from the Federated Timeline.
• We block any external accounts or domains that are known to frequently spamming our users.
• Please allow up to 48 hours to process reports.
