Short description
A social media community for residents and friends of Brisbane, Meanjin, South-east Queensland, and the region. Come say hey!
Long description
Welcome to our Brisbane Mastodon server, a place for locals to hang out and chat.

👋 This server is run by Ash and Josh. Please feel free to message us, or email ash@kyd.com.au.

⚖️ This is a moderated instance, in that we don't accept racism, transphobia, or general dickishness, and actively filter out other servers which do. Check out the rules for more info and let us know if something is amiss with the report feature.

SLA & our promise to you

We will do everything we can to keep the server up and running, but stuff happens and we may need to take the server offline for updates, maintenance or other housekeeping. We'll try to keep outages to a minimum and announce them ahead of time.

Note that this is a public server and you shouldn't use it to share private information. If you need to send truly private messages, we suggest using an encrypted messenger like Signal.

With that out of the way, we'd love you to join us! Come say hey :D

Expanded server rules

Our server rules are pretty straightforward, but this expanded version goes into detail:

  1. You must be 18 years or older to use this site.
  2. No adult content: including pornography, sexually explicit content, gore, or extremely graphic violence, including artistic depictions.
  3. Don't punch down: No content that reinforce or advocate social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion (or lack thereof)
  4. No content harmful to the public good, such as incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies, antivax or climate denial.
  5. No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users
  6. No content illegal in Australia or Germany
  7. No corporate/brand accounts. Your art, homemade stuff, and community groups etc are fine. It's also fine to talk about your work/business from your personal account.
