📜 Rules

We want everyone on this instance to feel comfortable expressing themselves. That being said there are limits. We have zero tolerance for any blatant homophobia / transphobia / trolling / hating and in general just people that are here to ruin the mood. We are lgbt+ run and supportive.

Registering an account on this instance means you are at least 18 years old. Additionally you agree that browsing the timelines from this instance might expose you to not-safe-for-work and other unwanted material. This is due to the nature of the fediverse. You agree to report these posts so our moderator team can take actions against the violating instance or user.

When registering please provide a reason to join, feel free to talk about your interests in furries, lgbtq+ topics, etc. Something so we know you're not a bot, and not looking to abuse the service.

If you are uncomfortable with certain types of content we highly recommend making use of filters https://bark.lgbt/filters to filter out commonly used hashtags that you would like to avoid.

If your account is identified as being younger than 18 years old and you are seen posting NSFW content your account will be suspended. This falls under illegal content.

We accept the posting of NSFW content however to protect other instances feeds we require not safe for work (NFSW) content to be tagged appropriately. Use both a content warning (CW) and blur media if any media is attached. If this is violated your post may be removed and repeated violation of this rule will result in a ban.

Profile pictures and profile headers MUST be PG-13 and cannot be NSFW / explicit. If your profile is found to violate this rule our moderators will remove your profile picture and/or header. You are then free to upload a alternative that does adhere to this rule.

Zoophillia is not accepted on this instance, nor any mention of it.

This is not a exhaustive list of rules and by registering to this instance you agree that we can add, remove or modify rules without prior notice. If you are in breach of one of our rules our moderator team will contact you and attempt to resolve the situation. If you are uncooperative we may choose to suspend your account on this instance.

🐺 Acceptable content

While we are (canine) furry focused everyone is welcome to join in the howl! No matter your species. Non-furry content is allowed as well, do keep in mind to CW your posts if they include anything you don't want to see in public, Especially NSFW!

See something? Say something! Use the report feature to report posts and our team will review them on a case-by-case basis. All reports will be handled fairly for all parties involved.

💬 Languages

While we are a primary English speaking instance we do offer translations using our libretranslate server. This is integrated in Mastodon.

When you create a post you can specify which language you are typing your post in. Choosing one of the above languages will offer users of this instance a 'translate' button to automatically translate your posts content into English

📢 Fediblock policy

Our team regularly monitors the #fediblock hashtag and acts accordingly. Additionally if we identify a malicious instance our team will announce this to #fediblock.

We obscure the names of all instances that are suspended/silenced. If you suspect we have blocked your instance and you want to appeal then please contact our team via email [admin@bark.lgbt]

🖋️ GDPR Policy

Skrivel.se is a bit of a play on words lost in translation. Hosted by two nerds from sweden. Most posts are in english or swedish on here. We're a small mastodon server with an active federated feed.

English up top, Swedish down below This isn't a document ment to be used in court or other similar places. I'm not a lawyer, don't expect me to be able to write such things. This is a document to give a hint of what the mods of this instance feel are things to avoid while you are here.
@habmala @openess
Hosted by masto.host see their ToS and PP

Detta är inte ett bindande kontrakt, det finns ingen EULA specifikt för denna instance. Det är en kort lista för att ge en hint om vad de som modererar kommer tycka är opassande på vår instance.
@habmala @openess
Vi köper drift från masto.host se deras ToS och PP

1. no nazis -- ingen nazism
2. no sexism -- ingen sexism
3. no LGBTQ-fobia -- ingen HBTQ-fobi
4. no spam -- inget spam
5. tag NSFW posts if they are not safe for work -- Tagga NSFW på saker du inte skulle visa din chef eller kollegor
6. Don't post anything that's illegal in France or Sweden -- Posta ingenting som bryter mot Fransk eller Svensk lag
7. If joining use the "Why do you want to join" text field to introduce yourself, we've become more restrictive due to spam. -- Om du vill skapa ett konto använd textfältet för varför du går med, vi har blivit mer restriktiva på grund av spam.

An Indian Mastodon server opened as a personal project. This is meant to be a nice fun place for people who want chill vibes and shitposting.

Mastinsaan is a personal project undertaken by Luv Mehta (that's me!).

This little mastodon neighbourhood is accepting signups right now, we're a small server so we're not aiming for a massive number of users, so if you're cool with that and want a bhakt-free space for shitposting and chill vibes, do sign up!

This instance uses Mutant Standard emoji, which are licensed under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 International License.

1. Be good to each other. We're here to make friends and socialize, let's be chill.
2. No bigotry or harassment. Targeted harassment based on categories like gender, sexuality, religion, caste etc. will not be tolerated.
3. Basically, be tolerant towards all but the intolerant.
4. Alt text optional but encouraged for photos. Use content warnings as you see fit, no content warnings mandatory for personal experiences.
5. Mark NSFW images and videos as sensitive, don't upload porn or snuff. No explicit content in profile pictures or header images.
6. No right-wingers. Non-negotiable.
7. Self promotion allowed, but no multi-level-marketing, NFTs, cryptocurrency or stock trading promotions allowed. No posts allowed that are sponsored by other companies.

1. Please be kind to others.
2. Discuss politics with caustion

Full of old bytes. Please don't demagnetize the core memory, thanks.
Do you like old hardware ? Do you use them ? Perfect you're welcome here !

Jump: Welcome ! - Donations - Rules - Specs - Terms



Welcome !

This is a Mastodon instance oriented around Retrocomputing and everything that rotates around this theme.
Of course any other topic is allowed, but you will find probably more retro tech stuff around there!
We don't have language restrictions, but please write your reports in english for the admin.

It's run by the person you see on the right (that's me!) and for now, that's all.
There might be more admins and moderators later if the needs come but alas not yet.
We run Mastodon Glitch Edition.

I hope this instance works okay for you, and that you can find a nice and welcoming community here! Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions or requests, be it about this instance, how to make your own instance, or other things not related to Mastodon.

I am actually the only sysadmin of this instance and I can't work full-time on oldbytes.space so, I will do whatever I can in a reasonable time to make it works the best it can.

Donations

The instance is hosted on a dedicated server (AX41-NVME) by Hetzner (Helsinki), backups are also hosted at Hetzner in the same zone.
The medias are hosted by Wasabi in eu-central-2 (Frankfurt).
You can donate to me at https://ko-fi.com/dashie_the_otter for the running costs.
As of 01/06/2025 I am getting around 150€/month.

Rules

This instance has some rules, of course.
First, the usual : no sexism, no racism, no hate speech, no LGBTQphobia, no nazis, no spam, no public unflagged porn, no climate change denial, etc...
Then, I also believe it's important to remind you that this server was made and is being run by a queer activist.
This server thrives to be inclusive, and I will ban without much regret.
People are encouraged to use the report function as they see fit, and can be confident that their complaints will be heard and dealt with in some way. I want everyone to feel safe here, and if that doesn't sound like something you like, you should probably find another server.
No scam content allowed regarding cryptos, and other wallet magic money back things. Links to profiles for donations only are ok, invites are not.

There's also a pretty important activism aspect of this instance.
If you're a marketer, or a #digital #influencer, this is not the place for you. Not only do I feel you should not feel welcome, I intend to make you feel definitely NOT welcome.
This instance, and this entire social network in my opinion, is dedicated to reclaiming social media, decentralizing, and generally creating better and more engaging communities.
The three categories of people I mentioned earlier are not, in my opinion, working towards this goal, pretty much the opposite, and they are not welcome on this server.
Please report them if you see them.
We also block Nazis, techbros and RMS.

Terms

The server is hosted in Helsinki (Finland), backups too. Hosted by Hetzner (Germany).
The only logs created are the ones from: nginx, mastodon (nodejs, puma web server, sidekiq) and minio (assets).
There is no retention currently in place except the by-default on Debian.

Emojis

We have drgn emojis from https://volpeon.ink/projects/emojis/drgn/, Neocats from https://volpeon.ink/projects/emojis/neocat/ and Old Man Yells at from https://tooters.org/@victor/111179689804699576.

1. No sexism, no racism, no hate speech, no LGBTQphobia, no nazis, no spam, no public unflagged porn, no climate change denial, etc...
2. I also believe it's important to remind you that this server was made and is being run by a queer activist.
3. This server thrives to be inclusive, and I will ban without much regret.
4. People are encouraged to use the report function as they see fit, and can be confident that their complaints will be heard and dealt with in some way. I want everyone to feel safe here, and if that doesn't sound like something you like, you should probably find another server.
5. No scam content allowed regarding cryptos, and other wallet magic money back things. Links to profiles for donations only are ok, invites are not.

ordinal.garden code of conduct

Our Anti-Harassment Policy

ordinal.garden is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.

This code of conduct applies to all ordinal.garden spaces, including the linux server, web host, and at local events, both online and off. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the moderators and/or the community in general.

Participants are responsible for knowing and abiding by these rules.

Consequences

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, moderators may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all ordinal.garden spaces and identification of the participant as a harasser to other ordinal.garden members or the general public.

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.
• ordinal.garden prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. Moderators reserve the right not to act on complaints regarding:
  
  
  • Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you.”
  • Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
  • Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions
  
  

Reporting

If you are being harassed by a member of ordinal.garden, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the moderator(s) at scottcazan@gmail.com. If the person who is harassing you is a moderator, they will recuse themselves from handling your incident. We will respond as promptly as we can.

This code of conduct applies to ordinal.garden spaces, but if you are being harassed by a member of ordinal.garden outside our spaces, we still want to know about it. This includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any point in time. The moderator(s) reserves the right to exclude people from ordinal.garden based on their past behavior, including behavior outside ordinal.garden spaces and behavior towards people who are not in ordinal.garden.

In order to protect volunteers from abuse and burnout, we reserve the right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith. Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be deleted without response.

We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. It may be deemed necessary—for the protection of individuals outside our community or of the reputation of the community—to identify offenders of this Code to persons external to this community (including, where necessary, in public forum). We will not name harassment victims without their affirmative consent.

Welcome to Newsmast. Knowledge-sharing social media with a conscience, built around communities and powered by Mastodon.

Knowledge-sharing social media with a conscience, built around communities and powered by Mastodon.

We’re diverse, democratic and dedicated to building safe, committed communities that change the world. Backed by a charitable foundation: the Newsmast Foundation.

Our mission is to change social media for good.

Newsmast is a combined Mastodon app and server and is best experienced on our mobile apps for iOS or Android - or on our desktop app.

You can find more about us, our FAQs and contact info on our website.

Getting Started

Here's a guide to Mastodon, it's written by @feditips@mstdn.social.

Community Guidelines

At Newsmast, there have to be rules, so that everyone feels safe and respected. We want to encourage a diversity of voices, which means allowing everyone to feel welcome without enduring hate speech or harassment of any kind.

Please read our Community Guidelines to learn more about what we stand for and find detailed definitions.

We plan to evolve these Guidelines as time goes on in line with the development of Newsmast. Those who repeatedly fail to abide by them will be removed from the platform. Accounts posting certain types of offensive or illegal content will be removed immediately.

The Community Guidelines above also relate to direct messages.

Reporting and moderation

At Newsmast, we aim to abolish harassment, abuse and misinformation. If you find content that’s in breach of these guidelines, please report it by clicking on the three dots at the bottom right corner of the post and selecting report. Provide details of why you are reporting the post, then click confirm and report. Or you can email us at support@newsmast.org.

Following the report, there are several measures that we can take:

● Removing a post or comment: After we’ve done this, we’ll notify the account owner and inform them of the violation. They’re entitled to dispute the removal if they believe we got it wrong.

● Direct messages: If a direct message breaches our policies, we can temporarily or permanently suspend an account. Note that we are unable to monitor contents of DMs unless you report a message to us.

● Account suspension: Anyone who repeatedly violates our policies can be temporarily or permanently suspended. Being permanently suspended will forbid account owners from creating new accounts. The account holder can appeal this if they think we got it wrong.

Rest assured, our team will examine your complaint promptly.

The blocklist used on this server is the Oliphant Tier 0 blocklist, with a few additions by our curators.
