This server is for Anarresti only, i.e. for rebels, misfits, round pegs in square holes. It is run in an anarcho-syndicalist style. Membership on invitation only.

Anarres is the moon of Urras inhabited by Anarresti who defected to the desert-climate moon almost two centuries ago, shepherded there by their leader Odo, who envisioned an anarcho-syndicalist society free of the constraints of capitalism.

This server is for all those rebels, misfits, round pegs in square holes who want a better server by working together in an anarcho-syndicalist style to manage this instance.

It is funded by the admin, hosted in Europe and thus covered by all European Laws & Regulations, specifically also of Germany.

But please read the rules, especially rule #8 before asking for an account here.

If you would like an account here, please contact any of the members/moderators. Since all members are also moderators, you can get in touch with any member here.

Clarification of use of posts from this server (2023-07-31)

You can read, respond, boosts, and perform any such activity as done on the Fediverse on posts/toots from this server.

However: any commercial use, regardless of whether you want to sell any content or whether you want to offer any service in which posts from this server are involved are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. You may not, directly or indirectly, base your commercial business partly or wholly on the use of any post/toot, media, or data from this server.

Please note: all data on this server is covered by German Laws and especially the copyright is based on German "Urheberrechtsgesetz": this means, there is no "irrevocable right to use"! German "Urheberrechtsgesetz" doesn't know or accept "irrevocable". There is no such thing in German Law. The original creator can revoke such permission any time they deem you are misusing their content.

Also: if you receive consent from one user on this server to peruse one of their posts for commercial purposes, THIS DOES NOT MEAN ALL USERS AND/OR ALL POSTS. Consent is required for any commercial use of any data from this server for each data item separately.

Lastly: any scraping of content of any type from this server is strictly prohibited. You are only permitted to use content from this server for "Standard Fediverse Activities", such as reading, replying, starring, bookmarking, etc. Any copying of content from this server outside of "Standard Fediverse Activity" is strictly prohibited. And if you are unsure whether your intended use is "Standard Fediverse Activity", then it probably is NOT.

Crawling the content of the instance and creating a database of its posts and content for the purposes of archiving, searching, or analyzing is strictly prohibited.

And just to be clear: the admin of this server will never tolerate any misuse or unlicensed use of content/data from this server!
