archaeo.social is a Mastodon instance for archaeologists, ancient historians and anyone interested in scholarly communication about the human past. More: https://about.archaeo.social

archaeo.social is a Mastodon instance for archaeologists, ancient historians and anyone interested in scholarly communication about the human past. It is part of the archaeo.social collective, a network of open, federated social media services for archaeology.

This server is administrated by Joe Roe and financially supported by donations on OpenCollective. Our policies, rules and community expectations are decided by consensus; discussion takes place in our GitHub repositories and are open to all.

Joining archaeo.social

Creating an account on archaeo.social means that it will be your "home server" in the Mastodon network. Your posts will by default appear in our local timeline and you will need to agree to abide by our rules and community expectations. It doesn't mean that you are limited to interacting here; you can follow users from other Mastodon servers and the wider Fediverse freely, and your personal timeline will include only the accounts and hashtags you follow, wherever they are.

After you have created an account, uploaded a profile picture, and filled in your bio, we strongly recommend introducing yourself to the archaeo.social community with a post that tells us about yourself and your interests. Including the hashtag #introduction will greatly increases how many potential new followers your post reaches.

archaeo.social is still a young community and the Fediverse in general is not as widely used in academia as other social networks. We appreciate anything you can do to spread awareness, for example by including links to your Mastodon profile (i.e. https://archaeo.social/@username; the short form username@archaeo.social only works in the Fediverse) on your other social media profiles, on your institutional profile, in your next conference presentation, etc.

Community expectations

These guidelines supplement the server's rules.

Zero tolerance

archaeo.social has zero tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, ableism, and casteism. Users that engage in these behaviours will have their accounts immediately and permanently suspended.

Acceptable and unacceptable content

archaeo.social is primarily intended for scholarly communication about archaeology and the human past. We encourage you to use it to talk about your research, promote academic events and programmes, share references and resources, and network with colleagues. We are an international community, and posts can be in any language. Satire, activism, and a reasonable amount of "off-topic" posting are also welcome. Users who use our services excessively for other purposes may have their accounts frozen and will be asked to migrate their accounts to a more suitable server.

Content that others may not wish to see should be accompanied with a content warning and/or marked as sensitive. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Images of human remains
• Spoilers for recent popular media
• Content likely to be of interest to only very narrow audience

Users who repeatedly omit these warnings may have their posts marked as sensitive automatically, have their accounts frozen, or be suspended.

The following types of content are not allowed on this server:

• Pornographic or sexually explicit media without an explicit historical context
• Excessively violent media without an explicit historical context
• Anything illegal in Germany, including Holocaust denial and Nazi symbolism
• Advertising and spam

Users that post these types of content will be immediately suspended.

Academic integrity

Behaviour that is broadly considered unacceptable in academia is also unacceptable on archaeo.social. This includes, but is not limited to, academic dishonesty (plagiarism, cheating, not giving credit), misrepresentation (of your credentials, experience, background), spreading misinformation or pseudoscience, and soliciting for predatory publishers or conferences. Users that engage in or promote these behaviours may have their accounts frozen or suspended.

Etiquette and accessibility

When posting, please be considerate of how your posts will appear both to your followers and in the local and federated timelines. Consider using a content warning or making the post unlisted if it is significantly 'off-topic' (i.e. likely not of interest to most other users of archaeo.social) When writing a thread, set the first post to be "public" and subsequent posts "unlisted", so that they do not flood the timeline.

To make posts accessible to all users, attached media should be accompanied with a description. A good media description concisely summarises the content and purpose of the image or video. It shouldn't be longer than a sentence or two. An exception is if you post an image of running text; you should transcribe the text in full in the image description.

Bots and organisation accounts

archaeo.social was made for people and prioritises the experience of human users.

Bots are currently not restricted on archaeo.social, but we ask operators of bots to be considerate of other users, server resources, and the readability of our local timeline. Specifically, bot accounts should:

• Include the name and contact details of the human being responsible for them in their bio
• Respond to direct messages from server administrators and moderators
• Not post at a rate that dominates the local timeline or degrades server performance

Accounts that represent commercial, institutional, or collective entities are also allowed, but must be relevant to the server's scope.

Reporting and moderation

archaeo.social's moderation team actively monitor the local timeline. Unlisted posts are not proactively reviewed but are subject to the same rules and expectations.

If you see a user of archaeo.social breaking any of our rules or failing to meet any of the above expectations, please report the problematic content to moderators. Please explain why you are reporting them in as much detail as you can; we aim to respond within 24 hours.

You can also report posts you see from users of federated servers on archaeo.social, but please be aware the we are more limited in the ways we can respond to them. Mastodon has extensive options for controlling what you see from users on your home and federated servers.

Privacy, data security and longevity

Mastodon was not designed to be a secure storage or messaging protocol. Everything you post to this server, including direct messages to other users, is stored unencrypted and therefore technically readable by anyone with access to the database. We will never knowingly breach your privacy or leave your personal data vulnerable to misuse, but can make no guarantees. Please see the privacy policy for more details.

We envisage archaeo.social as a long-term resource for the scholarly community in archaeology and related disciplines. All posts and uploaded media are backed up, at least daily, to multiple secure locations. However, archaeo.social is not an archive and you should not assume that your data will be preserved in perpetuity. In the event that circumstances force the server to shut down, we commit to giving users at least three months notice so that they can export their data and migrate their account to another server.

The Association of Internet Researchers is sponsoring this Mastodon server for its members. Members in good standing are welcome to join and have a home on the fediverse!

Admin contacts: @admin1@aoir.social and @admin2@aoir.social

AoIR Code of Conduct 0.6

Operation

The server is operated by @admin1@aoir.org and @admin2@aoir.org. The instance agrees to abide by the Mastodon Server Covenant.

Moderation

We currently have around a dozen moderators located around the world. Our goal is to respond to community concerns swiftly. The instance subscribes to fediverse-recognized blocklists, including Oliphaunt's Tier 0 List. The admin account follows #fediblock and other hashtags and will block or silence instances based on the advice of respected fediverse admins.

Funding

This server is funded by the Association of Internet Researchers, an academic association dedicated to the advancement of the cross-disciplinary field of Internet studies. It is a member-based support network promoting critical and scholarly Internet research independent from traditional disciplines and existing across academic borders. The association is international in scope.

Accounts on this server are available to dues-paying members of AOIR.

Code of Conduct

This is an instance for current members of the Association of Internet Researchers. Real names and credentials are only recommended if you plan to use your account on this instance for networking purposes; they are absolutely not required.

Encouraged uses of AoIR.Social

If you are an AoIR member in good standing, and you are willing to engage with others respectfully, and you will respect our community's efforts to make this a safe space for queer, trans, Indigenous, BIPOC, and other structurally disadvantaged people, you are absolutely welcome here. While this instance is hosted by a scholarly association, sociability & posting about everyday life are just as welcome as professional networking, sharing research resources, and bragging about your publications.

First things first, please introduce yourself. After signing up, post a message to the Local Timeline telling us who you are, what your academic interests are, and helping us to get to know you better. Use the #introduction tag.

And after introducing yourself, feel free to:

• Put your handle on the last slide of your conference presentations
• Post a picture of your pets
• Share your art and creativity
• Engage in satire -- just must make a good-faith effort to punch up ("Punching up": making jokes or criticism at the expense of those with more power, higher status or greater privilege.)
• Engage in activism
• Recruit participants for academic surveys—formal, IRB-approved ones or even informal ones (just make sure to use content warnings so that others can consent and don't get too obnoxious about it; see below for more about research on AoIR.social)
• Share what's going on in your day

Content Warnings (CW's)

One thing that differentiates Mastodon from other social media is the Content Warning affordance, which allows you to put a preview or warning about your post. This is useful for sensitive content, but can be used in other ways, too (e.g., jokes).

On AoIR.social, please add CW's (content warnings) that are accurate and descriptive enough to enable reader consent to the following types of posts:

• strong language,
• rants,
• selfies with eye contact,
• current events (includes: US or non-US, local, national, international, and should be applied regardless of whether sources are academic or non-partisan), high-conflict or otherwise exhausting issues of popular debate (e.g. climate change, GMO's, privacy issues, elections, etc.),
• mentions of death or violence,
• photographs or illustrations of insects, genitals, wounds (even if they come from a scientific source)
• spoilers of popular and recent TV shows or other media,
• sexually explicit content,
• ASCII art (this one is important to ensure that someone using a screen reader doesn't have to listen to an attempt to read out a bunch of obscure symbols)
• stresses particular to academia such as grades, exams, thesis progress, academic job market prospects, and
• anything else where another user might want to decide for themselves whether or when they want to interact with your post.

There is a setting in your preferences to open all posts with Content Warnings automatically, if you don't want to click through each one. CWs are a courtesy to fellow AoIR.social members as well as the broader fediverse.

Image descriptions (alt-text)

It is an expectation of this instance that you add accurate descriptions to all images and video that you post to aid in accessibility. (A description like "image.jpg" that does not aid in accessibility would not meet this expectation.)

If you post an image of a screenshot of text, it is an expectation of this instance that you transcribe the text in the image description. Here’s a guide on how and why to supply alt-text.

Unwelcome conduct on AoIR.Social

The following will result in: a warning from the admin or having offending posts deleted, possibly without prior notice.

• Providing unsolicited advice to strangers
• Inappropriate un-CW'd posts on the Local Timeline (see above for CW policies)
• Posts with un-described images or video
• Shortened links, e.g. bit.ly, t.ly, tinyurl.com, goo.gl, ift.tt, lnkd.in, is.gd or t.co (These are considered malicious because link-shorteners track users without their consent and obscure the destination address, which also prevents users from being able to decide whether they want to visit the link beforehand)
• Advertisement or spruiking for cryptocurrencies, NFT's, or multi-level marketing schemes
• Unrequested solicitations to join religious, political, or other ideologically-defined organizations

Exceptions:

DOI links (e.g. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.k959) are allowed but the post must accurately describe the title/author/journal to allow the reader to decide for themselves whether they would like to follow the link. (In cases of very long titles, you may truncate it, and in cases of long author lists, "First-Author et al" will do.) Posts with DOI links where the target of the link is not described, or not described sufficiently, may be deleted without warning.

Discussion of research about cryptocurrencies is of course allowed.

Things that will get your account closed, possibly without warning

• Conduct that would violate the Association of Internet Researchers conference Code of Conduct, and specifically the following, which is adapted from the clause on harassment: “We do not tolerate harassment in any form. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, offensive comments related to characteristics such as gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices. It also includes deliberate intimidation, stalking, and unwelcome sexual attention.” Violations can result in a permanent ban; you may not receive a prior warning.
• Serious dishonesty that is hurtful to others (e.g. falsely representing oneself as a member of a minority; services offering to write academic papers to help students cheat; vaccine denialism; predatory conferences or journals; overt pseudoscience such as flat-earther-ism etc.)
• Anything that could be described as "spam"
• illegal content, especially child exploitation images or sexually explicit materials posted without the subject's consent 
• Impersonating other people
• No bots and no "institutional" accounts operated by non-members please; AoIR.social is for people. The obvious exception is that the AoIR organization itself will post official communications here. Any official communications will be marked as such.
• Accounts that automatically repeat a Twitter account, RSS feed, etc. must post to AoIR.social as Unlisted, not Public

Regarding attempts to abuse these anti-abuse tools and policies

Do not attempt to weaponize our Community Standards or anti-abuse tools/policies against marginalized groups such as people of colour, women or queer people. Members of AoIR.social are expected to have the literacy to understand that "reverse discrimination" is not real, and so attempts to re-centre discussions of marginalized people around the feelings of the privileged will be taken as manipulative behaviour undertaken deliberately in bad-faith. (E.g. white people should not demand that people of colour put CW's on every discussion of race). Furthermore, the abuse of content moderation tools for targeted efforts to silence, smear, or otherwise harass any individual account holder, for any reason, will not be tolerated.

Use of AoIR.Social for research

Researchers who wish to study AoIR.social or our users by collecting data using the API or through any other means that does not involve an "opt-in" from individual users are required to submit their protocol, analysis plan and all relevant ethics approval documentation from their institutional review board or departmental internal review documentation by email to the AoIR Fediverse admin account. You may also be required to submit code you plan to execute so that it can be tested to ensure it does not degrade the quality of service to other users.

This does not apply to, e.g. surveys circulated on AoIR.social that individual users can consent to participating in. This does apply to database scraping software, or any means of recording user activity where our users might be surprised that they were included afterward, because they were not given a chance to consent.

AoIR is well known for being the leading organization developing ethical online research. Ethical research on this instance (and much of the fediverse) should be sensitive to the privacy expectations of its members. Many people came to the fediverse in order to avoid being included in unethical social media research, and so we place a higher value on conducting research on human subjects with informed consent than most other social media, in order to maintain high ethical standards.

At the admin's discretion, you may be asked to submit your research protocol, and the institution that is providing ethical review, even in the case that it is an opt-in survey. Failure to disclose your research plan may result in closure of your account, or having your network banned from our service.

Account Cancellation due to Lapsed Membership

If your AoIR membership has lapsed for longer than 1 year, you will be contacted about renewing your membership. If you choose not to renew, you will have 60 days to download your data. You may move your data to another Mastodon instance.

Everything's going to be alright, it's really alright.

Everything's going to be alright, it's really alright.

A mastodon server based in our corner of north-east London, UK.

Won't you stay another day?

1. Don't be a plonker.

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.

A corner of the #Fediverse carved out and cared for by audio fiction creators and fans.

If you love audio dramas, fiction podcasts, audiobooks, radio plays, and more—welcome!

Do audio fiction fans and creators really need their own home on the Fediverse?

Heck yes! With the ongoing enshittification of centralized social platforms, we know that billionaires don't have our best interests at heart. The solution is decentralized social platforms, where we're not subject to their whims.

Who's running this thing?

In November 2022, Podvibes was started by audio fiction creator Nathan Lunsford as a welcome place for those abandoning Xitter. In November 2023, it was acquired by Evo Terra, curator of The End, who is happy to keep this train running. Welcome all, and especially those who love to listen to or create audio fiction!

Support This Open Social Project!

To keep the lights on here, you can contribute to Evo's BMAC account. Doing so gets you listed here:👇

Special thanks to...

• The End

1. Don't be an asshat.
2. Use Content Warnings when appropriate.
3. No illegal shenanigans.
4. Posts from accounts may not be suitable for kids.
5. We're mostly for fans and creators of audio fiction!

A Montco, Pennsylvania based instance to share thoughts with friends and read what's going on in the world. Established October 2022 in the great exodus from birdspace.

Operating costs and donations can be found here

The Epistolary instance is owned and operated by Rob Carlson who believes in the model that the Mastodon network implements. Mastodon uses small interconnected instances to create a giant interconnected microblogging network free of interstitial advertising and top-down control.

This instance is a personal passion project to support that model. The epistolary.org domain was registered in 1999 to host a variety of open and public email lists to help people with common interests meet and discuss. While email lists have largely faded away, this site will again serve that purpose.

As of November 2022 this instance costs $12 in material costs per month to run, and the person hours to operate and upgrade are provided for free.

Because every project should have an exit plan, there is a simple plan for this server. This server will continue to run unless and until:

• The material costs of the site exceed $50/mo not covered by donations.
• The moderation or administrative requirements become an excessive time drain.
• Members of this instance complain or demand more than they say thank you.

In the event that this instance is deactivated, all members will be notified so that they can effectively migrate to a new instance and given a reasonable time frame to do so.

This instance will be capped at 100 members.

Support this instance at paypal.me/robvees. Supporting the instance through a donation doesn't guarantee service levels but may me noted in your profile if you choose.

Please send all questions to rob@vees.net or @vees@epistolary.org.

1. Be excellent to each other.
2. Don't make Rob add new rules.
