earthstream federated social server running Mastodon - focus on environmental, trade, human rights, and other social and global issues

Welcome to earthstream.social - we aim to be a home for federated social content related to environmental, social, human rights, and other related issues, and especially on the intersection of tech and ESG issues.

If you create an account on this server, please make a commitment to using and sharing peer-reviewed science when discussing environmental or other science related issues. Let's also encourage others to do the same, and not get offended if misinformation gets called out, and actively promote fact-based content. Together, we can ensure that our conversations about science, the environment, and world we live in are grounded in the best available scientific knowledge.

This site is funded and sponsored by mesur.io

Reporting and moderation

When reporting accounts, please make sure to include at least a few posts that show rule-breaking behaviour, when applicable. If there is any additional context that might help make a decision, please also include it in the comment. This is especially important when the content is in a language nobody on the moderation team speaks.

We usually handle reports within 24 hours. Please mind that you are not notified when a report you have made has led to a punitive action, and that not all punitive actions are externally visible. For first time offenses, we may opt to delete offending content, escalating to harsher measures on repeat offenses.
