Welcome to mograph.socialThe main purpose of this server is to connect people from the broad motion design community, including VFX artist, animators (more in general designers and artists that are interested in moving images) and to contribute to the Fediverse with interesting content. It is also a place to offer to people in these fields an open space for discussion outside the toxic boxes of mainstream social media.
If you need more information about Mastodon, about what it is and how it works, have a look at
fedi.tips.
Code of ConductIn generalBe excellent to each other and respect the rules.
Keep always in mind that the aim of our server is community building and sharing of ideas and interests in respect of each others.
If you're a new member please fill in your profile with the relevant information as soon as you can so we know who we're talking to, and add a profile picture. Also it is recommended to make an #introduction post with the appropriate hashtag to tell a bit about yourself and your interests.
CrosspostingCrossposting from other networks like Twitter is allowed but if done regularly the posts should be marked as unlisted. Most importantly the account owner should be active in the conversation on our Mastodon server as well.
If you leave your account alone while crossposting it could be silenced.
Long threadsIf you plan to post a long thread please post all the messages after the first one as unlisted so you don't spam the public timelines. Otherwise your account could be silenced.
Uploading videosDue to the nature of our interests we naturally tend to share videos. While doing so please remember that the storage space on the server is not unlimited neither free. We encourage you if possible to upload your content on other platforms of your choice (YouTube, Vimeo, PeerTube, e.g.) and then post them as links here.
Image descriptionsPlease add an image description for any picture or video you upload so that people on a screen reader can follow along too.
Advertising and self-promotionMograph.social aims at community building and not at advertising. This space is paid by the community for the community via donations and we can't accept people using it to do their free advertising campaigns. It's considered self-promotion: showcasing your art, your portfolio and skills, sharing your video tutorials, podcasts, offering/looking for work. If you're here to make a daily advertising campaign of your brand/products with the broadcasting of posts (or threads of posts) into the void, it's not going to work. Explicit advertising posts with links to direct products/services for sale will be deleted and your account might get silenced.
People, not brands, please.
Personal PronounsWe encourage you to add your pronouns to your profile if you want them to be used and also check your folks profiles for pronouns before engaging in conversation with them.
