Instance rules
- We are inclusive and welcoming to everyone of all ages, nations, races, genders, faiths, and creeds.
- Please keep our space safe for all and family friendly. No spamming. No personal attacks. Your opinions are welcome, but we encourage thoughtful conversation over provocation.
- I actively moderate and will immediately suspend without appeal and in my sole judgement any account that violates the rules. I also, from time to time, de-federate any servers whose users act as a group to harass or attack this server or our users.
- Full rules at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/social-content-policies/ Mozilla has done an excellent job of describing how a well run social network should be governed. I encourage you to read it.
- By joining TWiT.social you agree to adhere to these rules. Thank you! --Leo
