who, what, when, where, why
We're a community of folks who are #StillMasking because we recognize that #CovidIsNotOver. The flagship Mastodon instance #ZeroesCA sent its first toot on April 27th, 2022 and has since been joined by Talk, Write, Pix, Links, Groups, and Music, with more to come. Though many of us are Canadian, we welcome like-minded people from all over the world. We're here for dissemination of science, experience, information, and ideas; to foster conversation and discussions; and to ask questions and provide answers, etm -- a safe, good faith space for covid-related topics and much more. Misinfo, disinfo, and other unlawful, harmful, and/or bad faith content is not permitted.
software
We run free, open-source software, much of it ActivityPub compatible and linked together via OAuth single-sign-on. We're currently running the Glitch-soc friendly fork of Mastodon with Authorized Fetch enabled and some customizations (5k character limit, 10 poll questions, Tangerine themes), Matrix (Element/Synapse), WriteFreely, and PixelFed. We permit bird.makeup and brid.gy/Bluesky. We suspend alt-fedi and Threads/Meta.
hardware
We lease VPS, dedicated, and cloud servers/services from OVHcloud in their Beauharnois, QC datacentre.
moderation
Our goal is to provide an environment conducive to community and communication and hostile to anything unlawful, malicious, and/or synonymous with bullying. We reserve the right to remove any accounts, content, or federated servers that are detrimental to this community and the above goal. We realize you're human and we are too, so we'll do our best to be fair yet protective. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to admins/mods.
reporting
When reporting accounts, please include posts that show rule-breaking behaviour (when applicable) and detailed context in the comment/note, so as to help us fully understand the situation and take appropriate action. This is especially important when the content is in a language in which moderators are not fluent. We endeavour to handle all reports within 24 hours. Bear in mind that you are not notified of punitive actions pursuant to any reports you make and not all punitive actions are externally visible.
funding
Donations toward infrastructure/hosting costs can be made through Ko-fi or Liberapay.
transparency
We are a non-commercial website and we have no interest, financial or otherwise, in collecting user data/activity. We have not received any warrants from law enforcement, nor participated in any discussions covered by an NDA.
