KOLEKTIVA.SOCIAL CODE OF CONDUCT

Coming up with this policy has been a bit of a balancing act. On the one hand, we do not want to make too many hard-and-fast rules. We are anarchists, and therefore, we do not care to think too long about how to govern every aspect of how other people should behave. On the other hand, don't want our collective resources to be used to spread ideas that go against our values. To this end, we have come up with the following guidelines. We plan on adapting and changing these guidelines over time, and are open to feedback, critique, and suggestions from other Mastodon users, moderators and administrators.
As a user of this platform, please be mindful that your username ends with @kolektiva.social and your actions, in part, represent the instance. Your engagement builds an expression, and the values you share reverberate from within and outside this digital neighbourhood.

WHAT YOU SHOULDN'T POST AT ALL:

Posts containing the following content will be removed, and users will have their accounts immediately suspended and/or deleted.

• Racist, misogynistic, transphobic, homophobic, ableist slurs, or other derogatory pejoratives for oppressed identity groups (unless you belong to that group and are reclaiming the term)
• Blatantly racist, casteist, ableist, sexist, transphobic, or otherwise chauvinistic and bigoted discourse
• Symbols and slogans associated with fascist regimes and/or fascist, third-positionist, western chauvinist or white nationalist movements
• Arguments that seek to deny or cast doubt on historic or ongoing acts of genocide
• Pornographic and/or sexualized images depicting people who did not consent to their image being shared
• Pedophilia/MAP content, in all its manifestations
• Purposeful misinformation
• Spam

WHAT YOU SHOULDN'T REALLY POST:

Kolektiva.social is an anarchist/anti-colonial instance. Posts containing the following content may be reported and/or removed, and the user may be issued a warning. Repeated warnings may lead to accounts being suspended, and/or their users being encouraged to migrate their account to another instance.

• Propaganda from politicians or political parties that seek to win elections
• Propaganda from the USSR, CCP, or DPRK
• Glorification of nation states and/or militarism
• Messages promoting capitalism or meritocracy
• Messages promoting or encouraging pseudoscience, conspiracism, or breaks with reality
• Targeted harassment (i.e. evading blocks, repeated hostile replies, or posts intended to instigate brigading/dogpiling against a user or another instance), even for righteous reasons
• Posts that could bring avoidable legal repression down upon Kolektiva's admins and/or server infrastructure (i.e. doxxing individuals paired with explicit calls for violence or threats against them)
• Religious proselytizing/recruitment

POSTS THAT SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED WITH A CONTENT WARNING:

We have neither the capacity nor the slightest interest in monitoring all content posted on Kolektiva.social, nor do we enjoy making judgments about what is, or is not, acceptable speech. For this reason, we encourage people to use Mastodon's built-in Content Warning (CW) tool to label posts that other users may find upsetting. Unlabeled posts that are reported to us as containing the following content will have a Content Warning added to them, and the user will be notified.

Accounts that regularly post the following types of posts without Content Warnings may have their accounts silenced, or suspended, based on the severity of the behavior, and may be asked by the moderators to migrate to another instance.

• Any visual depiction of nudity
• Any visual depiction of blood, severe injuries, torture, murder, or medical procedures
• Any unambiguous visual depictions of drug use or drug paraphernalia
• Any message detailing sexual acts
• Any message mentioning suicide, self-harm, abuse, rape, or sexual assault that does not relate to a current issue
• Spoilers (within reason)

Apart from what is itemized above, we do not have specific guidelines for Content Warnings. All users are encouraged to be considerate of others’ needs and preferences, particularly with respect to things that are widely considered repulsive or distressing (for example, the worst events in human history and the worst things that people can do to each other).



We explicitly do not, and never will, require users to tag political content and news-related posts.

Special Cases Worth Extra Explanation:

Nudity, sex, drugs, and drug paraphernalia. We want Kolektiva.social to be as accessible as possible to minors, incarcerated people, and others whose internet access is monitored. These subjects, when visible on the public timeline, may lead to authorities speedily and irreversibly blacklisting our website in a way that political content may not. For this reason, and some others, we ask that all images depicting these subjects be accompanied with a Content Warning.



The COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 is a real disease, and vaccines and masks are useful measures for impeding its spread. We will treat messages to the contrary as either "Purposeful misinformation" or "Messages promoting or encouraging pseudoscience, conspiracism, or breaks with reality" as itemized earlier. It's not that we think various "experts", on health subjects or others, are entirely beyond questioning. It's simply that we also disdain our platform being used to spread health myths that are, by and large, generated and boosted in the same parts of the internet as far right conspiracy theories about the present order.



The Russo-Ukrainian War. We do not want our instance flooded with pro-war propaganda. We will not censor discussion of the Ukrainian far right or other problems in Ukrainian society, but we may consider gross exaggerations of these problems as propaganda aimed at providing rhetorical cover for the Russian state's imperialist aggression. We may view links to Russian state-affiliated media as "purposeful misinformation" or "messages promoting or encouraging pseudoscience, conspiracism, or breaks with reality" as itemized earlier. We may also view posts supporting NATO and/or Ukrainian nationalism as "messages glorifying the nation state and/or militarism".



Analogizing Israel and Nazi Germany. We support the self-determination of the Palestinian people as well as the destruction of the ethnonationalist Israeli state, alongside all states, and we are glad to host content celebrating Palestinians' anti-colonial struggle and denouncing Israeli atrocities. Rhetoric comparing Israelis and/or Zionists to the historic German Nazis, however, is as unnecessary and unhelpful as it is insulting to Jews, including anti-Zionist Jewish comrades. We consider it a form of "chauvinistic and bigoted discourse" as itemized earlier.



Astrology. We don’t believe in it but it’s fine.



USING KOLEKTIVA.SOCIAL

BLOCKING AND MUTING

We encourage users to make use of the block and mute options to help control what content appears on their timelines. While moderators will do our best to block bad offenders and defederate from toxic instances, we recognize that people have different limits and expectations of the fediverse, and these options allow for a more personalized experience. Evading blocks and mutes is not part of respectful engagement, and may lead to suspension and deleting of accounts, and a permanent ban from Kolektiva.social.

Instructions on how to use personalized Block and Mute controls can be found here.

REPORTING

Unlike centralized and corporate social media platforms, the process of moderation on Kolektiva.social is intended to be accountable. The users who make up the moderation team are listed publicly for this reason. We want to receive reports regarding all forms of unacceptable behavior (that we can reasonably respond to), and we will do our best to follow up within a reasonable time frame.

Instructions on how to report a post can be found here.

NOTES ON REPORTING

• Reports made by users on other fediverse instances about Kolektiva.social users are anonymous. For example, if @example@mastodon.online reports a Kolektiva.social user, we will see that a user from Mastodon.online has sent a report, but not their username. We cannot respond to users about their reports if we do not know who they are. We always know which Kolektiva.social users have issued which reports, however.
• Reports without explanations are significantly harder to follow up on. Links, explanations, and other information are encouraged and appreciated. Furthermore, we cannot reasonably take actions against users when there is no proof of bad behavior or ill intent. Please include examples and/or reasons in your reports.
• A report does not guarantee the moderation response that you've requested. If reporting users are not satisfied with our decisions, we suggest using the Mute or Block functions.

ACCESSIBILITY

We encourage the usage of captions and descriptive text when posting images, in order to make your posts more accessible to users who use screen readers. For the same reason, we also discourage the usage of excessive emojis or unicode text symbols in posts or usernames.



Our instance is open to users of any language. The most commonly spoken language among Kolektiva.social mods and admins is English, but we can also communicate in French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese and Spanish. Unfortunately, members of our moderation team won’t be able to effectively communicate in other languages apart from those listed above.



If contacted by users speaking other languages, we may seek out help from other Kolektiva.social users or the admins and mods of other instances. Barring that, we may make use of online translation software.

SAFETY AND DANGER ON THE FEDIVERSE

The Kolektiva.social moderation team is made up of relative newcomers to the fediverse, but we understand that all of the problems associated with other online spaces are also present here. Some of these problems relate to surveillance by institutions that aim for social control, and some relate to the forms of oppressive and anti-social behavior that permeate broader society. Most of the members of our collective are anarchists who have been involved in social movements for years. That is to say, we understand a few things about how repression works. We also know how and why anarchists get into fights with one another, because we have been in a few fights ourselves. At the same time, there’s lots that we don’t know.



As a group, we can draw on a pretty wide array of experiences, but some problems around technical security are simply very complicated, and the same is true of some of the controversies that unfold in local scenes, or over the Internet in general. We will do our best to address issues as they come up. But because we are real people who live in this constantly changing world, we are likely to make mistakes. We also simply won't be able to satisfy all the (sometimes competing) requests and reports that we receive from users.



We believe that it is imperative that anarchists and social movements abandon surveillance capitalist platforms. In fact, we think everyone on Earth should abandon these services. Platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter spy on us, hand our personal data over to hostile forces, and help to poison political discourse through monetized algorithms and the spread of reactionary ideologies. We want Kolektiva.social to be able to serve as a landing pad for people who are new to Mastodon, the fediverse, etc. For this reason, we are intentionally set up as a large, welcoming instance with open registrations. We have no interest in hosting fascists or other annoying and miserable people (and will ban them once we have a good reason to do so), but obviously some of the people on this platform may be ruder, rougher, and less sensitive than those found on smaller, more community-focused Mastodon/Hometown instances. When we talk about a mass exodus from corporate social media, we recognize that this will involve all sorts of people, and not just those who we already agree with. To paraphrase Maurice Moe Mitchell: we have a low bar to entry and a high standard for conduct.



We want to allow people to learn how they want to conduct themselves before removing them. That said, even though we intend to be open and welcoming, we will not allow arguments around "free speech" to serve as cover for harmful, entitled, and/or obnoxious behavior. We are aware of the broad conversations taking place around anti-Blackness and other forms of racism on the fediverse, and we take this seriously.



While we see it as important to provide a space where users can be themselves and reach out to others as they wish, repeatedly posting unsolicited opinions on other people's posts, playing “devil's advocate” with strangers, and other similar forms of obnoxious behavior have their limit, before they become a pattern. If you are having problems with a specific user, please feel free to reach out to one of our moderators for help with explaining microaggressions and subtly oppressive behaviors.

DEFEDERATING FROM OTHER INSTANCES

We will do our best to remain defederated from the most toxic parts of the fediverse, and will attempt to keep up-to-date on collective initiatives such as #fediblock. But to maintain Kolektiva.social's usefulness as a communications tool and social media platform, we don’t intend to defederate from large instances based on the actions of a small minority of their membership. We also don’t want to turn defederation into our activism.



Given Kolektiva.social’s relatively large size on the fediverse (and especially in the “anarchist neighborhood”), we recognize that any decisions that we take to defederate from a given instance can severely limit that instance’s users’ ability to learn about, and engage with, various worthwhile sorts of information that Kolektiva.social users are putting onto the fediverse. Because of this, we will rely more heavily on suspending and silencing individual accounts, unless the instance itself is irredeemable. We will do our best to maintain open lines of communications with other admins, and to pass on reports about their users where we deem it necessary/appropriate.



A NOTE ON DECENTRALIZATION

We are aware of the criticism of large centralized Mastodon instances, and the arguments for a more decentralized network of smaller Mastodon servers. We are sympathetic to these criticisms for a number of reasons, not least of which being that they often come from our fellow anarchists. We encourage our users to find another instance that they find fits their expectations and views, or barring that, to create their own.



That said, we also see a need for large instances with open registration that can serve as landing pads for those escaping from corporate social media platforms. This is a role that we see Kolektiva.social filling as we move forward with our short-term goals. We will continue to assess our role in the fediverse moving forward, and are open to dialogue with other groups about what this can and should look like. As noted earlier, we plan on producing a series of resources aimed at helping people set up and manage their own Mastodon instances.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF KOLEKTIVA

Kolektiva was launched in June of 2020 by anarchist media collectives Antimídia and subMedia with the aim of developing autonomous, digital communication infrastructure for the movements we support and participate in. It soon expanded into an informal organization with members based in a handful of places all around the world. Kolektiva's first project was a PeerTube instance, Kolektiva.media.



Its purpose was to offer a free, non-corporate platform for anarchists and anti-colonial content producers looking to bypass Google, Facebook, and other surveillance capitalist firms, as well as censorship mandated and enforced by governments. When Facebook began purging a number of pages associated with anarchist and antifascist projects in July 2020, Kolektiva set up a Mastodon instance, Kolektiva.social. It has grown rapidly since then, thanks in large part to its open registrations and the increasingly widespread and apparent need for alternatives to the dominant social media platforms. It is important to note that Kolektiva.social started as an ad hoc response to a specific problem, mainly related to the ability of social movements to broadcast information publicly, in the context of the summer's rebellion, and that none of the Kolektiva team were, at that time, especially familiar with the fediverse, from a social point of view, when we started this instance.



There were controversies, arguments, and accusations. So, as we entered 2021, Kolektiva.social began an (ongoing) effort to expand our number of moderators and to clarify our expectations of users, and users’ expectations of us. Kolektiva.social is just one component of a larger project that is aimed at getting as many people off of corporate social media as possible, and especially people who are involved in anti-colonial, anti-capitalist, and anti-fascist movements. It is also a volunteer project, and time is limited. As a result, we expect it to take us a while to really get a handle of what we're trying to accomplish here, how we should try to accomplish it, and what exactly is within our capacities. Nevertheless, we don't intend to go anywhere, and we are committed to learning from our mistakes and always improving on past failures.

THE GOALS OF KOLEKTIVA

Kolektiva exists to provide digital infrastructure for anarchist and anti-colonial movements. We seek to enable as many people as possible to share news and information without relying on centralized and intensively surveilled platforms. We are motivated in this work by the principle of internationalism, and a desire to increase communication and collaboration across state-imposed borders and linguistic divides.

In the coming years, we hope to scale up the project in a number of ways by doing all of the following:



1. encouraging the exodus of anarchists and other anti-capitalists/anti-colonialists from corporate platforms towards independent, open-source alternatives such as those offered by Kolektiva
2. producing instructional videos for new users, and resources for those seeking to set up their own fediverse sites/instances
3. building up our physical server infrastructure and technical capacity
4. expanding and diversifying our moderation team
5. experimenting with other ActivityPub platforms, such as Mobilizon and Pixelfed
6. introducing a new framework to better organize content and facilitate translation

We're not a free speech absolutist, and there are instances available for that. We're not interested in Nazis, TERFS, or hate speech of any sort, which we will define at our sole discretion as moderators. No homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia, racism allowed.

This instance is meant to be a friendly, welcoming space to all who are willing to reciprocate in helping to create that environment.

Long Version

The following guidelines are not a legal document, and final interpretation is up to the administration of tech.lgbt; they are here to provide you with an insight into our content moderation policies:

1. The following types of content will be removed from the public timeline:
   1. Excessive advertising
   2. Uncurated news bots posting from third-party news sources
   3. Untagged nudity, pornography and sexually explicit content, including artistic depictions
   4. Untagged gore and extremely graphic violence, including artistic depictions
2. The following types of content will be removed from the public timeline, and may result in account suspension and revocation of access to the service:
   1. Racism or advocation of racism
   2. Sexism or advocation of sexism
   3. Discrimination against gender and sexual minorities, or advocation thereof
   4. Xenophobic and/or violent nationalism
3. The following types of content are explicitly disallowed and will result in revocation of access to the service:
   1. Sexual depictions of children
   2. Content illegal in Germany and/or France, such as holocaust denial or Nazi symbolism
   3. Conduct promoting the ideology of National Socialism
4. Any conduct intended to stalk or harass other users, or to impede other users from utilizing the service, or to degrade the performance of the service, or to harass other users, or to incite other users to perform any of the aforementioned actions, is also disallowed, and subject to punishment up to and including revocation of access to the service. This includes, but is not limited to, the following behaviors:
   1. Continuing to engage in conversation with a user that has specifically has requested for said engagement with that user to cease and desist may be considered harassment, regardless of platform-specific privacy tools employed.
   2. Aggregating, posting, and/or disseminating a person's demographic, personal, or private data without express permission (informally called doxing or dropping dox) may be considered harassment.
   3. Inciting users to engage another user in continued interaction or discussion after a user has requested for said engagement with that user to cease and desist (informally called brigading or dogpiling) may be considered harassment.

These provisions notwithstanding, the administration of the service reserves the right to revoke any user's access permissions, at any time, for any reason, except as limited by law.

Content Warnings and Sensitive Media

Our Content Warning (CW) policy is intended to make our server comfortable for our community. We are not trying to silence our community or police discussion, but ask that you consider those who may read your posts when making them.

Content Warnings are a feature of Mastodon that enable you to hide the body of a "toot" (post) behind a line of text. The intended use of this feature is to provide a way to discuss sensitive and/or potentially harmful topics without causing duress or harm to anyone who might stumble upon it, though content warnings may be used for a wide variety of reasons.

Images can be marked as sensitive. This is a feature which hides an image until a warning banner is clicked. Images may be marked as sensitive separately from Content Warnings, though using a Content Warning automatically marks the toot's images as sensitive.

Please note that our sensitive media rules apply to profile photos and headers as well. Since those images cannot be hidden behind sensitive media warnings, they are not allowed to contain content from enforced content warnings.

We cannot enforce content warnings on users from other instances, but can help to manage content that you see when reported to instance moderators.

Please be clear and accurate when labeling content warnings, to ensure that they follow both the letter and spirit of the enforcements that we have.

Above all, try to be polite, and come from a place of mutual respect when discussing content warnings with other. We do not condone tone policing, and want to promote healthy discussion in our community.

This cannot ever be a complete list, and so we want to keep it semi-general, and reserve the right to use the judgement of the moderation team to make decisions in the future.

• Enforced Content Warnings:
  • NSFW/sexual discussion and imagery must be behind descriptive CWs (nudity, sex, kink discussion, etc)
  • Sensitive imagery (please use your best judgement on what content that most other users would find sensitive, such as photos of surgeries, abuse, war, deceased individuals, etc)
• Suggested Content Warnings:
  • Discussion of overtly political (relating to elected or unelected government officials) topics
  • Triggering topics (direct discussion of rape, trauma, abuse, suicide, transphobia, homophobia, etc). The intention is to provide a warning for users who may not want to consume this content, not to silence users who are sharing their negative experiences.
  • Drugs or drug use
  • Advertisements for corporations
  • "Rage" posts and posts using mainly capital letters
• Suggested Sensitive Image Marking
  • Eye contact images
  • Food related images

CryptoCurrency/NFTs

We do not allow the promotion, advertisement, or sale of cryptocurrencies on our instance. Mentioning the existence of cryptocurrencies, linking personal accounts or addresses, and otherwise discussing them in a way that is not intended to sell or advertise a specific cryptocurrency is acceptable. We do not have any association with any cryptocurrency or other monetary transactions that happen within the server.

We do not allow the promotion, advertisement, or sale of NFTs on our instance. We do not allow content from our instance, including content and media uploaded by our community members, to be sold as NFTs.

Blocked Instances

We maintain a blocklist of instances that we do not federate with. If you believe that an instance should be added to this list, please contact an admin or moderator.

For privacy and safety of our community, we do not comment on most instance blocks that we have in place. We have recently begun sharing details on major/oft commented moderation decisions via @mods@tech.lgbt

The list is visible for logged-in members under the section Moderated servers below. While we understand that not publishing this list for non-members is not fully transparent, we are not trying to scare off potential new members who want to ensure that their friends are not blocked. The only nefarious intent here are those who have used this information when public to harass individuals and the instance as a whole. Bluntly, if those are the people that you want to interact with, you should probably join their instance instead.

Admin Note

Hello new neighbour, and welcome to Aus.Social! This place is growing every day and I've found real community and value here. I hope you all have a great time.

Aus.Social is a "progressive" instance, and we recommend you read the rules to get an understanding of what that means to us. Good faith Comedy, humour, shitposting, memes and content is welcome here.

I will utilise my professional experience to secure our services, but Pwease no hacky 👉 👈 🥺

Any posts that punch down or break our rules will likely result in moderation action.

Eligibility

Aus Social is a community of people, not a billboard. We exist as a safe stable place for people to join and communicate with their friends and our greater community. We will not accept many brands and businesses that do not focus on community building.

We accept signups from any person aged 15 or older anywhere in the world; while our user base is primarily in the Australian (UTC+8 to UTC+11) time zones, we operate 24/7. We do not require or enforce English (Moderators may use automated translation to spot-check posts for adherence to our code of conduct). This server may host content that expresses sexuality, body positivity, and other adult themes. If this is of personal concern, we recommend joining another instance. (There are alternative instances, such as https://theblower.au that are safe for minors.)

Companies are not allowed

We do not accept companies and corporate brands here. These guidelines clarify our expectations:

Joe from Joe’s Plumbing is fine, Joe’s Plumbing is not. You may add links to a business you are connected to in your profile, just do not use your feed to regularly share ads.

Below is a small sample of accounts we will and will not accept. These are common examples which hopefully set the tone of our instance. Please contact us if you are unsure if this applies to you, and our team can review your request to join on a case-by-case basis.

Generally Not Allowed Accounts

We want to limit advertising, marketing, brands and promotion, while none of these are banned. In order to reach this goal, the administrator has banned a few kinds of accounts: - Corporations / Businesses - Retailers / Ecommerce - Newspapers and News Outlets - Mainstream Television Networks - Marketing, Advertising and Promotion - Political Parties (politicians or political figures are welcome) - Lobby Groups / Astroturf fronts

This is only for the businesses themselves. Workers of all stripes are welcome. There are other instances that welcome brands, and we’ll direct any accounts that break these guidelines to those instances.

Allowed

• Professionals
• People with a personal brand
• Politicians or Political figures
• Journalists, authors, writers
• Podcasts, Bands or entertainment groups
• Independent artists / Musicians / Performers
• Content Creators, Streamers, Youtubers
• Community spaces, HackerSpaces
• Social support and community organisations
• NFPs / NGOs and other humanitarian groups

Use your account to communicate and engage with the community, and don’t exclusively promote and advertise. You may take pride in and promote your personal work, but don’t use your account purely as a store front.

Bot accounts

Bot accounts (i.e., those with automated posting) are permitted on Aus Social, under these additional conditions:

• They must not post to the Local timeline (i.e., not Global, only Unlisted or Followers-only or DM)
• They must turn on the "This is a bot account" checkbox in their profile
• They must identify the bot owner in the bio
• They must not interact with other accounts unless those accounts have interacted with the bot first

User Code of Conduct (Rules)

The following types of content will be removed, which will result in account suspension and revocation of access to the service:

Notice: List this will never be complete, and exists to set a tone. We will refine these rules over time.

• Any NSFW / 18+ content MUST have a content warning
• Registering accounts with inherently malicious intent
• Unauthorised distribution of any personal information or data (DOXing)
• Impersonation: You may not impersonate individuals, groups, or organisations in a manner that is intended to or does mislead, confuse, or deceive others. While you may maintain parody, fan, commentary accounts, you may not do so if the intent of the account is to engage in spamming or abusive behaviour. (Parody accounts must be labelled as such in the bio)
• Any conduct intended to incite other users to perform any of the aforementioned actions, is also disallowed
• Racism, and racial micro-aggressions
• Promotion of racial hatred, racial discrimination, and white supremacy.
• Queerphobia, or advocacy of queerphobia (comparisons to pedophilia, animals, dehumanising language)
• Sexism or advocacy of sexism
• Anti-sex worker perspectives or advocacy against sex workers
• Discrimination or advocation against genders and sexual minorities
• Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia (Trans Rights are Human Rights)
• Ableism, fatphobia, or discrimination against disabled people
• Xenophobia and/or violent nationalism
• Gore and extremely graphic violence, including artistic depictions
• Promotion or encouragement of suicide or self-harm
• Stalking; including advocating any physical, sexual, or emotional harm against individuals or groups
• Harassment of any kind, including consistent baiting, bad faith gaslighting, unwanted sexual advances, etc. especially towards marginalised groups, and minors
• Promotion of scams, including web3/crypto and other ponzi schemes
• Promotion of unhealthy lifestyle advice, including Promotion of anorexia
• Any content we deem harmful or distressing

Please report posts or users breaking the code of conduct, but please do not message people on behalf of the moderation team. Instead, you can scroll on, block, mute, or report to let moderators deal with it.

The following types of content are explicitly disallowed and will result in revocation of access to the service:

• Conduct promoting the ideology of National Socialism (Seriously. Absolutely no Nazis!)
• Holocaust denial, Nazi symbolism, or similar content
• White supremacy.
• Violence: Do not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people. This includes, but is not limited to, threatening or promoting terrorism. Do not affiliate with organisations that — whether by their own statements or activity both on and off the platform — use or promote violence against civilians to further their causes

- Child exploitation: you may not post sexually suggestive or exploitive images of minors in any way (regardless of context). Example: No bath photos

Content Warning (CW) and Hashtag Guidelines

Hashtags are heavily encouraged as the primary way for others to discover your themed content, while also allowing people to quickly filter content they do not wish to see on their feeds. Please note that hashtags must be used in the main body of a post - they do not work when used in the CW. To aid readability by humans and screen readers, please CamelCase #HashTags (capitalise the first letter of each word).

We encourage the use of Content Warnings (aka Content Wrappers, Summaries, Topics, Subject lines) on your posts. CWs are a courtesy to your readers and other members of the Aus Social community. CWs are not self-censorship: they do not suppress the indexing of posts, only their initial visibility. Aus.Social believes that CWs are an important tool to support people's self-autonomy, but they can also be used for expression and creativity.

Admin Note: CWs are not expected on posts made by historically and/or socially marginalised people about their own lived-experiences or activism, though authors may choose to do so.

Expected CWs and Hashtags

Everybody on Aus.Social must use Content Warnings (CWs) and hashtags for the following topics:

Politics, including party politics, electoral politics, geopolitic, elections and general governmental drama. Please use a AusPol CW and/or #AusPol Hashtag. Same with #USPol/#UKPol/#GeoPol etc Adult Content including Nudes / Lewds / NSFW posts Please use a CW (and any suitable hashtags) Advertising of products/brands (CW) Please use a CW (and any suitable hashtags) Depictions of violence and gore (CW) Please use a CW (and any suitable hashtags)

If you regularly post without using CWs or Hashtags for these topics, it will be both harder for those of us looking for #AusPol, and those looking to filter them. It will very likely result in other people reporting your posts, and our moderation team will be in touch with you to ask nicely to use CWs and Hashtags.

Recommended CWs

The following is a list of topics which have been commonly used by people on Mastodon/Aus Social CWs in the past.

A 2022 survey of public posts on the Aus Social local timeline showed that CWs had been used for the following topics. This list is advisory and intended only as a guide to the culture of Aus Social!

• Religion, or Proselytising
• Racism, Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and anti-Blackness
• Sexism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, ableism, and fatphobia
• Rape, sexual harassment, bullying, psychological harassment
• Violence, war, party politics, electoral politics, conspiracy theories
• Climate change, environmental damage
• Landlords, renting, billionaires, celebrities
• Mental health, physical health
• Drugs, medical, blood, gore, surgery, hospitals, doctors, diseases
• Police, military, and legal
• Illness, death, suicide
• Food, meat, alcohol
• Eye contact (any animal), selfies
• Spiders and other arthropods, reptiles, and amphibians
• Animal cruelty
• Sports, particularly league sports
• Trypophobia, strobing lights, flickering
• Neurodivergence, autism, and ADHD
• Gambling, addictive, and obsessive behaviours

• Spoilers for movies/TV/books
• Content that is unfriendly to screen readers such as ASCII art
• Other social media platforms, large corporations
• Esoteric hobbies
• Excessive use of capital letters or Unicode typography Excessive use of emojis (as they are annoying for people using screenreaders)
• Excessive, or aggressive use of profanity
• Jokes where you tap to see the punchline
• Also often metadiscussions of the above.

Our Responsibilities

The administrator and moderators will endeavour to:

• Keep the atmosphere of the server as welcoming and enjoyable as possible.
• Keep this server online and functional for as long as possible.
• Clarify the standards of acceptable behaviour and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behaviour.

We will not act on complaints regarding:

• Criticising racist, sexist, or otherwise oppressive behaviour or assumptions.
• Good faith and non-malicious conduct whose object is to ameliorate (improve) the conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups.
• Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as "leave me alone," "go away," or "I’m not discussing this with you".
• Swearing or profanity.

Admin note: People are going to fight on the internet (this is a communication platform), and we generally try to ask people to block/mute people and take control of their social network experience as much as possible for situations where escalating to the moderation team via a report is not required... for issues that don't break any rules, but are still of concern to those involved (in or out of the fighting), Our moderation team might refuse to act as a mediator, but they will respond when (lines are crossed or) rules are broken.

Moderator code of conduct

Aus Social has a number of users who are also designated moderators. These moderators are currently @Bennytek @Dangerous_beans @morachbeag @prk @whatshisays @KarenWyld @harrym @grumpysmiffy. [Updated: 3rd Feb 2024]

Moderators can, in addition to any public information posted by users, see:

• How many posts a user has made
• All of a user's public, unlisted and followers-only posts, even if the account is configured to require approval for followers
• By extension, how many direct messages a user has written (but not the recipients or contents)
• A user's recently-used IP addresses
• A user's registered email address
• Whether a user has 2-factor authentication turned on
• A user's interface language
• Previous reports made by and against other users
• Notes about a user's account made by other moderators

Moderators may only use the above information to:

• Suspend, warn, or limit the visibility of a user who has broken server rules
• Delete or limit the visibility of posts that break server rules
• Respond to a report made by or about a user

Any other use, including in aggregate, requires approval by @aussocialadmin.

Moderators have no access to a user's direct messages (sent or received), phone numbers, or which posts they have bookmarked.

Moderators have the ability to view all reports made by and about Aus Social users, including historical resolved reports. Moderators can see the reported posts (which might be direct messages) and the accompanying report comment made by the reporter.

Moderators should reach a consensus about the result of a report (especially if it is not a clearcut decision), but a moderator can act unilaterally if end user safety is a factor or if actions are clearly informed by precedent. Moderation decisions may be reversed once further discussion between moderators has occurred.

Moderators may defederate Aus Social from an instance that is harmful to Aus Social users. This may happen if the remote instance does not sufficiently moderate its users or if its principles are incompatible with Aus Social's.

Moderators may place IP blocks or email domain blocks on signups to limit account signups that break Aus Social rules.

Moderators may contact the creator of a report and advise them of the outcome.

Moderators' decisions may be overridden by @aussocialadmin, whose decision is final.

1. Do not break the Code of Conduct.
2. Do not break the law (Australian).
3. Do not open a Business/Professional/Brand account (Art, Music or homemade stuff is fine).
4. Do not create accounts for Impersonation (individuals, groups, or organisations)

A Mastodon instance for maths people. We have LaTeX rendering in the web interface!

About mathstodon.xyz

Mathstodon.xyz is a Mastodon instance for people who love maths.

This instance is for people who love maths and we hope there’ll be lots of maths chat, but any topic of conversation following the code of conduct and the principle of getting along together is OK.

How to use LaTeX

You can use LaTeX in toots here! Use \( and \) for inline, and \[ and \] for display mode.

LaTeX is only rendered in the web interface, and not on all Mastodon instances. If the layout of your LaTeX code isn't too complicated, you can replace it with unicode characters by clicking the preview rendering below the post entry area before writing the closing delimiter.

Who's in charge

Operated voluntarily by @christianp and @ColinTheMathmo.

If you'd like to contribute towards the running costs of mathstodon.xyz, you can send us some money through Ko-Fi, either as a one-off or recurring payment.

If you'd like to show your support for mathstodon.xyz in real life, you can buy a t-shirt featuring our lovable mascot.

If you want to run your own instance with LaTeX rendering

The forked version of Mastodon that this instance runs is available at github.com/christianp/mastodon.

Code of conduct

We’re keen to make sure that Mathstodon is great for everyone.

Users violating the server's rules may have their accounts suspended and will not be welcome to take part any more.

If you are subject to or observe any harassment, or have any other concerns, please report the toot concerned or message a moderator. Reports will be dealt with discreetly and in confidence.

Please be aware of your surroundings and the effect your words and actions have on the people around you. We want everyone to have a great time, and treat each other with respect.

Wiki and status page

There's a wiki at wiki.mathstodon.xyz. When the service is unavailable, check the status page.

1. Don’t do anything that’s illegal in the UK or EU.
2. Aggression and elitism are unwelcome here - it’s not a competition. Don’t assume you know better than the person you’re talking to.
3. We want to be inclusive; do not engage in exclusionary behaviour or language against anyone based on their race, caste, gender (binary, assigned or otherwise), disability, mental health, sexual orientation, level of education or age.
4. Don’t make exclusionary jokes. Don’t even make them “ironically”.
5. Don’t harass people. Unconsented contact or sexual attention can constitute harassment, even if it wasn’t intended to cause upset. Dressing or acting in a certain way is not consent.
