Short description
A Mastodon instance for sauropod appreciators everywhere.
Long description
Sauropods.win is a Mastodon server that has accreted various scientists, artists, and enthusiasts in the area of palaeobiology and zoology. It is an informal place, and may contain ridiculous and completely off-topic conversation.
Sauropods.win is for anyone that can stand a local timeline full of nerdy palaeontology / zoology / arty talk, and who just wants somewhere nice to hang out on the internet.
Social media is at its best when it creates spaces where people can feel comfortable enough to collaborate, share, offer mutual support and just have fun. The core of this community are artists who bring the world of the past to life. So, please also respect the work of artists by asking for permission and using attribution whenever possible. Image descriptions are strongly encouraged (and will make your work more popular.)
If you encounter an obvious troll or anyone breaking the server rules please report it (even if you aren’t the target.) If you are uncertain, report it and leave a clear note about why you are uncertain.
Moderators may offer a warning or ban immediately depending on the severity or pattern of infractions.
