Queer, tech and furry instance. Open to anyone that fits the atmosphere, come on in!

Welcome to woof.tech!

Running on woof'ing technology

Short introduction

This instance has been made to increase the options between queer and furry servers! We're aiming to be a nice and friendly instance 🐕!

Everyone who feels like they fit our environment is welcome, although this is an instance for queer, furry or tech people, anyone is welcome as long as they're respectful.

For questions please let me know over at @Purple, or use the email address located on this about page.

Management and Rules

Our server rules are made to provide a guideline on how to behave on our instance, please check them when unsure about something. The rules may change from time to time, if noteworthy changes are in effect this will be communicated through announcements.

As this server is predominantly queer, we have a zero-tolerance policy for hate (especially homophobia and transphobia). If you feel like this may clash with your personal beliefs we'd prefer you finding a different instance.

Questions about our rules are always appreciated, don't hesitate to contact an Admin if anything is unclear.

Instance maintainability

I (@Purple) consider it important for an instance to be flexible and maintainable. Users of our instance rely on it being available and staying available in the foreseeable future and any doubt of this may hurt trust in this instance.

Because of this when setting up this instance I've made sure it's scalable, with minimal effort we can easily scale up to support thousands of users without major upgrades to how the infrastructure is set up.

Our current setup looks like this:

Server hosting:

We're currently hosting our instance on Hetzner's Cloud service. This allows us to easily scale up the amount of CPU cores or memory with downtime of less than a few minutes.

Our servers are located in Finland, Europe and currently exist out of 3 VMs for future-proofing and scalability. They have a combined 8 CPU Cores and 14GB of ram.

We can reasonably scale the main server up to 16 cores + 64GB ram before we should look into other options, it's unlikely we'd need to make major changes to our architecture until we hit a few thousand active users or more.

I'm a Linux System Administrator by trade with experience with scaling and optimisation, so this instance strongly benefits from my personal experience in this field :)

Storage hosting:

For our storage of both our user and cache content we use our own S3 solution hosted in The Netherlands. For database backups we use Scaleway's S3.

Using S3 means we can more easily move our server around if this happens to be needed, making a migration quick and painless. It also offloads the responsibility of serving image and video content away from our main server.

Our storage location for image and video content is The Netherlands both for user and cache content, our storage location for backups is France as Scaleway offers additional data redundancy there.

CDN hosting:

Making sure our instance stays fast and responsive, we make use of Bunny.net's CDN service to serve our static image and video content. Especially users outside of Europe will benefit from this as it will provide significantly lower latency for popular cached content.

Data retention

Because of how federation works, your posts (even through deleted) may hang around on other servers. Although mastodon will inform those instances the post has been removed, we can't guarantee other instances successfully receive or honour this request. This rarely seems to be an issue, but it is something to keep in mind when posting anything to the internet.

When you remove a post the following happens on our side:

Text content

The post itself is removed from our database right away and is inaccessible for anyone including administrators. The only place it may stay around is our backups, which are permanently removed after 60 days. These backups are never accessed unless in a recovery scenario.

Timeline:
- Inaccessible (Through timeline): Right away
- Inaccessible (Through direct URL): Right away
- Permanently unrecoverable: 60 days

Image/Video content

Although the content is removed from our storage provider right away, it may stay available through our CDN for a prolonged amount of time for users who have the exact URL to the images. We're working on a solution to immediately remove the content from our CDN, but this currently is not possible.

The CDN will lose the content after it has not been accessed for a bit. However because the CDN caching servers will only remove content if it deems caching other files more important (more frequently accessed etc.), it is hard to tell the exact timeframe.

We will purge the cache a few times a year to allow all files to be refreshed, regardless of file popularity. However unless someone has been constantly refreshing the URL every couple of hours to keep it considered "HOT" on the CDN the file will be gone in a day.

Timeline:
- Inaccessible (Through timeline): Right away
- Inaccessible (Through direct URL): Usually: 4-48 hours, but up to 120 days
- Permanently unrecoverable: Usually: 4-48 hours, but up to 120 days

Relays

We're currently connected to the following relays to improve and expand our federation with the rest of the network:

• relay.asonix.dog
• relay.gay
• relay.tiggi.es
• relay.fedi.buzz (Various hashtags)

Donations

Although we appreciate the generosity, we're currently not accepting donations. The operating costs are low enough to not warrant them for now. If this situation ever changes, an option for donating might become available in the future.

Our federated feed is focused on fun, creative and positive posts.

A note about politics: We've had enough of the endless doomscrolling and political coverage on social media. Moderators actively prune out super negative and nasty political #hashtags from the Federated feed. If you're here to hear about happened on Fox or CNN last night, this isn't the place for you.

1. be nice and follow back. we're here to converse, not broadcast.
2. be respectful, and don't create drama. this isn't reddit or twitter.
3. no CSAM or any other illegal material of that nature. you'll be banned, and reported to authorities without appeal.

Vreid var Tyrving.

Ver grei.

1. No spam or advertising.
2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism.
3. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

5. No illegal content.

The premiere Fediverse destination for music lovers who nod knowingly at each other from across the room when that song comes on.

About the Club

Liner notes are the printed text and graphical content often added to the packaging of musical recordings. Sometimes they contain little more than the list of songs and the people involved with recording them. Other times they contain fantastic inside looks at the recording process for an album, the song lyrics, critical reviews of the recording, mixed media explorations of the music's themes and content, and more.

Liner Notes Club is a Mastodon instance dedicated to providing fans of music with a place to socialize and share their love of making and listening to music.

If you are looking for a Mastodon instance without a strong local theme, we recommend exploring other options using the tools at https://instances.social/.

By registering or participating in services or functions of the Club, you hereby represent that you are over 18 years of age, an emancipated minor or in possession of consent by a legal parent or guardian and have the authority to enter into the terms herein.

Code of Conduct

Music is universal. Music unites across all cultural, linguistic, and ideological differences; we are one nation under a groove. What moves you? What gets your body twitching, your head nodding, your jaw hanging open in disbelief? What inspires you to create? We created the Club to celebrate the joy of experiencing music in whatever form your experience takes.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, if you love music, you are welcome here. Please help us ensure that everyone is welcome, by following these guidelines. This is not an exhaustive list of what we can and cannot do on linernotes.club. Take it in the spirit in which it is intended -- a guide to make it easier for everyone to participate in this community.

This code of conduct applies to all users of the Club, including its administrators and moderators. Violation of this Code may result in suspension from the Club. Additionally, violation of this code outside the Club may result in user suspensions, instance silencing or blocking (defederation).

1. General Guidelines

• Be welcoming. We strive to be a community that welcomes people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, religion, neurodiversity, and physical ability.
• Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. Members of the Club should be respectful of each other and of other users in the Fediverse.
• Choose your words with care. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down others or belittle their experiences.
• Make it easy for others to moderate their experience. Liberally use Content Warnings, hashtags, and unlisted/"Followers Only" posts so others can choose whether to engage with your content.
• De-escalate. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop. Avoid microaggressions such as "not all men," white/man/cis-splaining, knowingly using the wrong pronouns to address someone, posting about particular individuals without naming them ("subtooting"), and so on. If you make a mistake, apologize.
• No Gate-Keeping. We love all kinds of music in the Club, including much that you may not love. Accept and celebrate that we love it.
• Be friendly. Don't be a dick.

• Images and videos must be captioned with a description suitable for users with limited vision.

Cross-posting from other social media platforms to the Club is not permitted.

3.2 Bots

Bots are permitted under the following requirements:

• Bots must be pre-approved by the Club Moderation Team
• Bots are restricted to on-topic content only; see section 2.1
• All toots by bots must be tagged with #bot to permit easy muting/filtering

3.3 External Use

3.3.1 Crawling, Indexing, and Archiving

Crawling https://linernotes.club to gather information about posts, post metadata, media, or other content hosted on the Club is prohibited for any purpose, including but not limited to analysis, creating databases, search indexes, or archives.

3.3.2 Federation

Federating with the Club is not guaranteed. Links between federated instances are temporary and may change or disappear at any time. The Administrators of the Club and their delegates determine which instances the Club will federate with and which are silenced, blocked, or suspended.

4. Copyright

Public toots are derived works that are protected by copyright.

All original content is copyrighted by the author and cannot be distributed or used without prior permission by the author. Do not repost or disseminate our users' original content anywhere without their express permission.

5. Moderation

The Club's administrators and their delegates will summarily and with prejudice suspend or terminate users who violate the Club's Terms of Service, and silence or block (defederate from) instances enabling those users. You may comport yourself however you wish; we are not required to provide you a platform to do so.

If you believe someone is violating Code of Conduct, we ask that you submit a report when you block the user or instance. Provide as much detail as is necessary for the Club's Moderation Team to have the context required to fully investigate the issue.

If you are reporting a user on an instance other than Liner Notes Club, please be sure to forward the report to the user's instance also.

5.1 Our Responsibilities

The Administrators and Moderation Team will endeavour to:

• Lead by example, abiding by the Terms of Use.
• Keep the atmosphere of the Club as welcoming and enjoyable as possible.
• Keep the Club online and functional for as long as possible.
• Clarify the standards of acceptable behaviour.
• Enforcing the Terms of Use with appropriate corrective actions when users are found to be in violation.

We will not act on complaints regarding:

• Good-faith criticism such as "This is sexist," "That comes off as tone deaf," "This comment offends me," and so on. Instead of reporting this kind of feedback, engage with it, apologize, or agree to disagree and move on.
• Swearing or profanity. Use filters or mute/block users whose language you don't enjoy.
• Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as "leave me alone," "go away," or "I’m not discussing this with you".

5.2 Corrective Actions

The following are some examples of corrective actions the Moderation Team may enact in specific situations. These are examples only and meant to illustrate our general approach to moderation. Each incident of reported unacceptable behaviour will be handled on its own merits.

If you are a Club member and violate our Terms of Use, we will:

• suspend your account;
• inform you via email of the suspension and the reasons for it; and
• explain what you need to do to be reinstated, such as apologize to affected parties or agree not to continue posting Prohibited Content.

If you are a user of a federated instance and harass one of our members, we will:

• suspend your account; and
• inform your instance's Moderation Team.

If another instance fails to actively moderate the posting of Prohibited Content via weak moderation, we will:

• silence the instance

If another instance explicitly or implicitly enables the posting of Prohibited Content or enables harassment, trolling, doxxing, and so on, we will:

• block (defederate from) the instance

5.3 Accountability

5.3.1 Moderation Decisions

Moderated servers -- that is, instances that are silenced or blocked by us -- will be posted to https://linernotes.club/about.

Changes to the moderated servers list will be posted using the #LinerNotesAdmin hashtag by one of the Moderation Team.

5.3.2 Appeals

If you believe the Moderation Team has made an error in judgement or the corrective action(s) we have taken are inappropriate, please contact us. The Moderation Team acts in good faith and strives to always act fairly, but we will make mistakes and when we do we will embrace those mistakes and learn from them.

In the event of a dispute, the Administrators may override the Moderation Team; their judgment is final.

5.3.3 Requests for Clarification

If you require clarification of these Terms of Use, or are unsure how to handle a potential violation of these Terms, please message the Moderation Team directly on Mastodon.

5.3.4 Changes to the Terms of Use

The Administrators and Moderation Team will occasionally update these Terms of Use as necessary. Minor updates such as edits for clarity or changes in Moderation Team membership will be posted using the #LinerNotesAdmin hashtag by one of the Administators. Significant changes to policy, such as changes to the Code of Conduct, will be drafted and made available for review and feedback by Club users for at least 5 days.
