Welcome to deadinsi.de! We're happy you're considering to toot with us and taking the time to read our policy.
Mastodon User PolicyScope and AudienceThis policy is for users who have their accounts on deadinsi.de. There is a separate peering policy for deciding when and how to federate with other instances. Generally, for users on the instance a higher standard applies.
Our instance is only available to users for personal use. Accounts with a commercial background should look elsewhere. Promoting your own work is okay, as long as it is not the focus of your account.
Intent and RemediesOur guiding principle for remedies is that of intent and willingness to correct ones own behavior. It is okay if you fuck up. But we expect you to correct your behavior as soon as we point it out.
Please approach the moderation team with any issues or questions about this policy, or any other policy in this document. We're always happy to expand in the rationale of these policies and provide advice about being excellent to each other.
If you disagree and reject our requests to fix your behavior, maybe this isn't the right instance for you.
Banned ContentContent that is illegal in the United States is subject to suspensions. Independent from their legal status, any depictions of minors in a sexual context, real or imagined, is banned and will lead to suspensions.
Prohibited ContentWe have a zero-tolerance policy against bigoted behavior. This especially includes, but is not limited to racism, sexism, discrimination against sex workers, xenophobia, antisemitism, islamophobia, transphobia and ableism.
Do not explicitly endorse systems of oppression as a remedy to the same. This especially applies to the myth of meritocracy.
Do not argue for the existence or relevance of reverse-racism or reverse-sexism. Racism and sexism are deep structural issues with culture and not the expression of single persons.
Content WarningsWe ask all users to make use of the Content Warning ("CW") feature in Mastodon extensively. While this is a hard requirement for any adult or disturbing content, particularly involving discussion about prohibited content, we highly encourage using it as a general disclaimer regarding the content of your toot.
If someone asks you to add a warning to a particular type of content, it is generally a good idea to follow through.
Personal PronounsWe highly encourage you to add your pronouns to your profile and check your fellow users profiles for pronouns before engaging in conversation with them.
Discussions and DebateIf you want to start an argument, it is better to ask if the person you're engaging would be interested in hearing your take first. We're trying to build a space where everyone feels comfortable being themselves, not a debate club. When you're asked to disengage, do so.
Data usageAll original content shared on deadinsi.de is the sole property of its creator. This data may not be used, published, or reproduced in any place other than Mastodon and related federated platforms, for any reason, without explicit permission granted on a user by user basis. Any datamining or harvesting operations without full prior consent of all affected users are not permitted on deadinsi.de.
Mastodon Peering PolicyScopeThis policy is for anyone on the fediverse who wants to interact with our users or join our relay. There is a separate user policy for accounts hosted on deadinsi.de.
Banned ContentContent that is illegal in the United States is subject to suspensions. Independent from their legal status, any depictions of minors in a sexual context, real or imagined, is banned and will lead to suspensions. For instances where such content is legal, a media block silence is enforced instead.
Prohibited ContentWe have a zero-tolerance policy against bigoted behavior. This especially includes, but is not limited to racism, sexism, xenophobia, antisemitism, islamophobia, transphobia and ableism.
Instances that do not moderate such content might be silenced or suspended, based on severity. Outright fascism for instance will be suspended, while reactionary ideology will usually be silenced.
HarassmentInstances hosting users that do not follow our "disengage on request" policy or send messages that can be construed to fall into our definition of prohibited content may be silenced or suspended based on severity. If the severity is not too high the user should be silenced or suspended first before a grace period where the instance moderation team is given time to rectify the situation.
