A glitch-soc fandom-focused instance.

Hello! I know there's other excellent fannish instances out there like fandom.ink and federatedfandom.net, but no one else seems to have set up a glitch-soc instance yet. Glitch-Soc is a bit more experimental with more features in exchange for slightly less stability.

I have set some basic ground rules below, but I encourage everyone to be kind and generous with everyone else. If there are issues, a mod will talk with you first before any other action is taken, but mods reserve the right to take any action they deem necessary.

This is intended to be an adults-only instance. Please do not join if you are not an adult in your country.

An invite or a short application are required to join. If you are applying, please mention that you recognize that this is a fannish instance and maybe mention which fandoms you have been a part of or are participating in.

To Notify Us of DMCA Violations

1. No hate speech.
2. No doxxing.
3. No anti-shipper/pro-shipper nonsense. There will be discussions and then there will be moderation if I see it on the public timelines.
4. While this is an adults-only instance, please be respectful and put an appropriate content warning on all adult content, especially anything that might end up on a public timeline.
5. No illegal content.
6. Also, don't be a dick.

18+ queer, furry and nerd friendly general interest instance. Quieter and less chaotic than big instances, with relaxed moderation policies. Perfect for folk who want a peaceful corner to themselves.

Friendly neighborhood cat here to give you some information on the vibe of this instance if you were interested on signing up. We're a general instance full of predominantly queer, nerdy, and furry folk. This place is smaller than similar instances, and thus less chaotic. If you're someone who prefers a quiet corner, you'll find one here. Users here have a wide variety of interests, we have no niche. Other instances may have a code of conduct along with a moderation staff to enforce the rules of the community. I've decided not to run this instance that way. On this instance, it's run according to how I want it to run. This doesn't mean it's an unfriendly place or that I rule with an iron fist, it just means that I'm the sole staff person, and that will always be the case. And for rules, they're extremely loose because I like giving people tools to curate their own feeds as opposed to trying to manage everyone's feeds for them. That being said, I'll give you a quick idea of what sort of things I'm looking to keep off the local and federated feeds here so you can know in advance if you'll fit in or not. - No Nazis, or really any pro fascist, nationalistic hate rhetoric that exists out there - We're queer friendly here, so any bigots can find themselves the door out of here - You would think I could just put, "no racism" here, but a lot of people haven't figured out how to do that yet so I need to say a bit more about it. I'm a white guy, and for some that's an understandable dealbreaker (no hard feelings), but for others I want to stress that I'm gonna do whatever I can to make sure you're comfortable here within reason. If an instance is harassing you repeatedly, they're gone if you let me know. My bullshit capacity is at a all time low. If an instance doesn't want to action their users for their racist bullshit, then I'm not gonna host them here. If it's coming from one of the users here, they're gone. I'm no nonsense and not here to play games or debate those sort of folks. If it bugs you, it'll probably bug me and I'm gonna take care of it regardless of consequences. I don't give a shit about fediverse relationships. - That being said, if you're someone who tends to get into a lot of petty internet spats, and want someone to look out for you on the home instance, you might want to keep looking. I'm not gonna tolerate any user harassing users of different instances or repeatedly getting into fights with people. I have no issues kicking you out if I'm getting a lot of reports about your behavior. If you're the one being harassed however, and it's clearly evident, I will take action for you in that case. - I have a pretty lax policy when it comes to content warnings. I don't strictly enforce users to use them, but I do encourage people to use them when posting anything that could be potentially triggering for someone. I advocate users using their judgement here, and expect people to use CWs appropriately. I will not force people to use them. I am not omnipresent and don't particularly wish to try to be, so if you see a user not tagging something that is triggering you, I would ask that you just mute them. - Speaking of muting people, I really do stress the features given to you by the platform. Instead of posting something you know will start an argument with someone, just block them instead. An entire instance of shitposters is bugging you? Block the whole instance on your own instead of asking me to defederate with them or starting shit with them. I'm not here to manage your feeds when people are annoying or tasteless. - Really, just use common sense. If you act like an adult and treat other people like adults, you'll have no issues here.

Mastodon Server for the LGBT+ Bear Community. Be Nice. Be over 18 years old. Fill out "Why do you want to join?" so we know you're here for the right reasons.

Basic rules:

1. Be nice.
2. Adult posts are fine. But if you’re going to do them, check the CW icon that says “Add Content Warning” and briefly describe (in a non-explicit language) the contents of your post (e.g. "NSFW contains nudity" or "NSFW contains adult language"), so those that do not wish to view it aren’t forced to.
3. No hate speech. No one wants to hear your homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic bullshit. And we certainly don't wanna hear it here.
4. No copyrighted or lifted photos. A basic rule of thumb, if it's not your photo don't post it here. "Boost" someone's post, don't just steal it.
5. No pictures or videos of abuse or cruelty to humans and animals. There's enough of that horrible shit on the internet. I don't want it here.

1. Be nice
2. This is a great place to post info and pics about you! Adult content is allowed here, buy ONLY WITH A CONTENT WARNING and MARKED AS SENSITIVE. This includes artwork and text that is of adult nature.
3. This is a terrible place to dump all the random porn you've found around the internet. Please find a different Mastodon server that can afford to host it all for you. Or better yet, stay on Twitter.
4. No hate speech
5. No gore/abuse/cruelty
6. No spam, advertising, or copyrighted work
7. Avatar and Profile header should not have nudity or contain offense image or language.
8. By signing up you are certifying that you are over 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years old, please find a different server.
9. If any pictures or drawings posted looks even slightly underage we will ban and report your account details to the authorities without hesitation. When in doubt, don't even THINK about posting or boosting it here.

Welcome to Cafe Gulp! We put the "Fed" in Fediverse.

We are an adult oriented website themed around vore and endosomaphila. 🔞

Welcome to the Cafe! Grab a latte, find a seat, rub someone's belly or find someone to stuff in yours *wink*.

Code of Conduct 📜

All users should read and abide by the following guidelines. Administrators and Moderators have the power to make a final decision regarding their enforcement.

1. Don't be an asshole
2. Be welcoming
   
   
   • We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
   • 🔞 We are an adult community and minors under the age of 18 are not permitted to use this site 🔞
   
   
3. Be respectful
   
   
   • Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack.
   
   
4. Content
   
   
   1. Do not post AI generated images or content 🚫🤖🖼️
   2. Do not post content that is illegal in the United States.
      
      
      • Content (text or images) depicting those to be under the age of 18 is an immediately ban-able offense.
      
      
   3. Hate speech, slurs, derogatory remarks, will not be tolerated.
   4. Sensitive Images: Images should be marked Sensitive if they meet any of the following criteria
      
      
      • Selfies or eye contact (this is general mastodon best practice).
      • Strobing, flashing, or other animated gif types that may be sensitive to those with epilepsy.
      • explicit genitalia or clear indication of such.
      • fetish material, explicit or implied.
      • any content that would fall under the following Content Warning category.
      
      
   5. Content Warnings should also be included for the following topics:
      
      
      • Extreme content, such as excessive gore, blood, guts, scat, watersports, etc MUST include a Content Warning! This includes images and descriptive text posts.
      • Mental Health: anxiety, depression, trauma, etc
      • Current Events: Politics, news, tragic events, etc
      • Drug Use: Cannabis, alcohol, smoking, etc
      • Requests for aid, payments, advertising of services, etc
      
      
   
   
5. Reporting
   
   
   1. Posts in violation of our Guidelines or ToS should be reported using the Report button on the post. A note as to why it was reported should be included. This applies for local and federated content.
   2. reporting to the remote instance in the case that the user is not a Gulp member is optional but recommended.

Features

Mobile App 📱

Because Mastodon is built on the Rails framework, there is a very niffy feature available to users with a smartphone. Instead of downloading an app from your phone's play store, when viewing the website in a browser on your phone, open up the Browser Settings and select "Send to Home". This will put an app icon on your home screen that is an app for this instance, fully contained, and taking up only a few KB on average. You'll get the same control you get as on a desktop or in an app, without the hassle.

That said, there are several apps available for mobile phones, and they have not been tested with this server configuration. Your mileage may vary.

Profile 👤

There is more profile text space available then a normal Mastodon profile, so fill it up with stuff about you! Traditionally, Masto users put in the preferred pronouns, some hobbies they like, a few emoji, that sort of stuff.

Your profile picture and header image can include animated gifs as well!

Account Verification ✅

You can now also show your ownership of other online sites and profiles by adding a link that includes the rel=me meta code! For twitter, this is as simple as putting your Mastodon Profile page in the website field in your twitter profile, and your twitter profile in one of your mastodon profile fields! For other websites, check your Profile Edit page for more detailed instructions.

Posting 💬

The post length is set to 500 characters.

We ask that you enable Sensitive Media on all uploads by default in your profile settings, out of respect for our neighboring instances. If and image you want to share is Safe For Work and does not include any gore, genitalia, or explicit acts (could it be on TV?), then feel free to disable the sensitive filter for that image!

Emoji 😀

In addition to the standard emoji you might see on your phone, we have the ability to add custom emoji, similar to what you might see in a Discord server or Telegram stickers. You can add these to a post by opening the Emoji picker or adding the shortcode in the format of :emoji_name: with colons at each end of the emoji name. If you spell it correctly, you should see some recommended emoji pop up automatically.

Only admin may upload or copy these from other Mastodon Instances. If you see an emoji on Mastodon and would like to use it yourself, follow these steps:

1. Start a Reply to the post that contains the desired emoji
2. Set the Privacy of the reply to Direct Message
3. Remove any other @People from the reply and add @Taris (your admin)
4. Mention that you would like this emoji added to Gulp Cafe
5. Wait
6. Once i see the DM i'll add the emoji and it will show up in the Emoji Picker

🔝

Vore Holiday 8/8

Every year, August(08) eighth is Vore Day. The logic behind this is eight and ate sound a like, making ate ate (08/08) a good arbitrary holiday date.

🔝

1. Don't be an asshole
2. Be welcoming
3. Be respectful
4. Use Content Warnings and Sensitive Image tools
5. Try to report problems using the Report Button
6. Read and abide by the spirit of our Code of Conduct

CODE OF CONDUCT:

1. 
   
   no systemic abuse such as sexism, racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, etc. when it comes to defining what constitutes "systemic abuse", the opinions of the marginalized are given priority at all times
   
   
2. 
   
   no harassment. harassment campaigns may not be spread here, even against "valid" targets; this includes doxxing and dogpiling. if you must call someone out, do it elsewhere and link it here
   
   
3. 
   
   CW sexually explicit content this includes images and text. all sexually explicit images must exclusively involve consent-capable adults. (as in, if asked whether they'd like to pose for an adult photo, they would be capable of responding "yes", and that would be able to stand up in court of law)
   
   
4. 
   
   this is an 18+ server. do not join or request access if you are not 18 years of age or over. we will remove accounts that are not 18+ accordingly. this is for the safety of our mod/admin team and users
   
   
5. 
   
   no unfocused misandry. this is due to its impact on non-binary, genderqueer, trans, disabled, poc, queer, and otherwise marginalized men. misandry focused at the top of the kyriarchy is not against the rules
   
   
6. 
   
   no pedophilia or zoophilia. this includes artistic depictions of characters that cannot give consent
   
   
7. 
   
   consent is important in all contexts. if you’re ever unsure, ask first. use content warnings (CW's) where required
   
   
8. 
   
   treat others with respect, and be respectful in kind. this instance is meant to be a friendly, welcoming space to all who are willing to reciprocate in helping to create that environment
   
   
9. 
   
   no AI-generated artwork. please

IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS:

we strongly recommend all users add alt text/image descriptions to their media uploads, as is largely custom on the fediverse, for the sake of the visually impaired (those using screenreaders and such). it doesn't have to be anything super verbose unless you want it to be, it can be something short and just enough to provide some context. we recognize that conflicting accessibility needs exist and this is not always possible and recommend using the #Alt4Me tag to request others to do it if doing it yourself isn't possible then editing it in afterwards

-

CONTENT WARNINGS:

content warnings are a tool to enable someone to opt-into your content. this is particularly useful when posting publicly, as opposed to unlisted. when you post publicly, your posts are received by people from this server and other servers that may not currently follow you

if you don't want to deal with CW's, feel free to post unlisted! unlisted posts work just like twitter and only go to your profile and followers and or people posts are boosted to

to use content warnings, click the CW button when composing your toots. this will hide the main body of your toot behind a line of text text like a subject line

ENFORCED CONTENT WARNINGS:

💜 nsfw/sexual discussion and imagery must be behind descriptive cw's (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)

💜 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

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

it's okay to ask others to CW certain topics, but it's also okay to ignore requests for CW's. people who do not like your CW choices can choose to mute or block you or use filters

harassing users to CW their content, as well as demanding CW's from folks talking about their personal experiences of racism and other forms of bigotry, is against our rules and could result in being banned

-

HARASSMENT INCLUDES:

💜 offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion

💜 unwelcome comments regarding a person's lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment

💜 deliberate misgendering or use of 'dead' or rejected names

💜 gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour in spaces where they're not appropriate

💜 physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like "hug" or "backrub") without consent or after a request to stop

💜 threats of violence

💜 incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm

💜 deliberate intimidation

💜 stalking or following

💜 harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes

💜 sustained disruption of discussion

💜 unwelcome sexual attention

💜 pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others

💜 continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease

💜 deliberate "outing" of any aspect of a person's identity without their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse

💜 publication of non-harassing private communication

-

CRYPTOCURRENCY/NFT's

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 NFT's on our instance. we do not allow content from our instance, including content and media uploaded by our community members, to be sold as NFT's.

WHY CYBERPUNK?

some of y'all might be wondering why i chose this name for this instance. after all, isn't a cyberpunk world a dystopia?

well the term "cyberpunk" can be used broadly to describe the type of setting common in the genre, or even the world we live in today really

but imo it also applies to a certain spirit of rebellion typical main characters in such a setting might exhibit, and that's what we're all about here -- and what i mean when i say we're "putting the punk back into cyberpunk"

anticapitalism is woven into the themes of the genre, however some might try to water it down into nothing more than an aesthetic. cyberpunk is a critique of the future it portrays and the paths that might lead us there

Linux geeks doing what Linux geeks do...

About the rules

Our rules are simple, right?! We will keep this simple.

We welcome everyone on LR, regardless of race, religion or orientation. We welcome debates and conversations, but we do not tolerate personal attacks. The core belief is that we should learn from each other's differences and ideologies. First and foremost, we are all on this instance for one thing: and that is the love for GNU+Linux and Open Source/Free Software.

The people here on LR are a very friendly laid-back group, and we have lots of fun. So come join us! From admins to gamers, from photographers to athletes; we all use GNU+Linux! So bring your hobby or profession, and let's hear about it.

Even the one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater is welcome here... As long as it uses GNU+Linux...

If you're using GNU+kFreeBSD, GNU+Hurd, BusyBox+Linux, GNU+Linux-Libre or another variant of the GNU system, you're still welcome!

Notice on registration and accounts acceptance

Due to a large amount of spam bots, all registration must be approved. Registration requests without a reason to join may be rejected due to being harder to confirm legitimacy.

Welcome to thundertoot! A Mastodon Instance for the People.

Follow @AusSocialAdmin for server news, status updates, planned downtimes, etc.

Follow @AusSocialMods for community news and server safety updates. Blocked instances will be announced there.

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 / Large Businesses - Retailers / Ecommerce - Mainstream 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
• Conferences
• 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:

• Any NSFW / 18+ content MUST have a content warning
• Any account posting (regular) NSFW / 18+ content must be marked as sensitive.
• Posting original NSFW content is respected/preferred.
• (Bulk) Re-Posting other peoples content/stolen content is not acceptable even with citation, and will likely be removed.
• Accounts focused on posting material fitting a genre/category of interest is likely to be removed, as our focus is hosting people.
• Accounts exclusively posting videos are a financial burden and is likely to be removed.

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

• 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/Promotional/Spam account .
4. Do not create accounts for Impersonation (individuals, groups, or organisations)

Welcome to the 8th Layer of Madness
Most topics are related to Linux, Anime, Music, Software and maaaany more

PS: BSD is also welcome 😜

To keep this Project running and up-to-date you can support me on PayPal and Patreon.
There is also external Monitoring by Uptimerobot for this instance

Code of Conduct (TL;DR form)

The one big rule here is "Don't be a dick".

Some more specific rules here are:

• Respect each other (really, EVERYONE)
• follow Human Rights (pretty please?)
• Tag your explicit content
• Do not use explicit (NSFW, NSFL) avatars and profile headers
• No commercial accounts (promoting your own work is absolutely ok)

Also some not so specific rules:

• Please post NSFW content unlisted
• If you crosspost regularly (or just RTs), please post as unlisted
• Please don't leave you account alone while crossposting (it could be silcenced)

This list may be extended if needed, so don't push it. If you are deemed violating these rules (or their interpretations), you are subject to moderative actions like silencing or banning

Little addition for Bots

They should:

• Be marked as such (Bot-Flag)
• Please post as unlisted

Server is hosted in Germany by Hetzner. So please ... respekt the German laws.

PS: And yep, I mean the 8th ISO/OSI layer :P

Code of Conduct (long form)

Scope and Audience

This policy is for users who have their accounts on layer8.space.

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 Remedies

Our 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 Content

Content that is illegal in Germany is subject to suspensions.

Prohibited Content

We have a zero-tolerance policy against bigoted behavior. This especially includes, but is not limited to racism, sexism, xenophobia, antisemitism, islamophobia and transphobia.

This Instance is sometimes viewed in corporate environments, so all avatars and profile headers should be held in a SFW ("Safe for Work") manner.

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.

Crossposting

Crossposting from other social media accounts like your personal Twitter is considered no problem. But the posts which are visible in the instance timeline should be your own and not something like Retweets.

You also can crosspost retweets, but they should be posted as "unlisted". If you mostly post from twitter, then please also monitor you account over here to see reactions to your posts or other messages.

If we believe that your account is left alone and ist just filling the local timeline, you are subject to be silenced from the local timeline.

Content Warnings

We 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 Pronouns

We encourage you to add your pronouns to your profile if you want them to be used and also check your fellow users profiles for pronouns before engaging in conversation with them.

Discussions and Debate

If 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 conversations are held in a contructive manner. When you're asked to disengage, do so.
