This server is intended to be a safe, civil, family-friendly place for conversation and community. Different opinions and viewpoints are welcome, but thoughtful discussion is expected over provocation, harassment, or personal attacks.
These rules apply to all accounts, posts, comments, communities, media, automated accounts, and other content hosted on this server.
1. Follow United States Law
Do not post, share, host, or promote content that is illegal under applicable United States law.
Illegal content will be removed when discovered and reported to the appropriate authorities when required by law.
2. No NSFW, Sexual Content, Nudity, or Graphic Violence
This is a family-friendly server.
NSFW content is not permitted.
Sexually explicit, pornographic, erotic, fetish, or sexually suggestive content is prohibited.
Nudity is not permitted, including photographic, illustrated, animated, generated, or otherwise depicted nudity. Marking content as NSFW, sensitive, or using a content warning does not make otherwise prohibited material acceptable.
Graphic or gratuitously violent media, gore, depictions of severe injury, or similarly disturbing material are also prohibited.
Content involving the sexual exploitation or sexualization of minors is absolutely prohibited in any form, whether real, simulated, illustrated, animated, generated, or otherwise depicted. Such material shall be removed and reported to the appropriate authorities.
3. No Harassment or Personal Attacks
Do not harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or target other people.
Personal attacks, dogpiling, coordinated harassment, block evasion, and encouraging others to harass someone are prohibited.
Disagreement is welcome. Abuse is not.
4. No Hate or Targeted Abuse
Content that attacks, dehumanizes, or advocates discrimination or violence against people based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or age is prohibited.
Criticism of ideas, beliefs, organizations, governments, public policies, and public figures is permitted provided it does not cross into prohibited harassment, threats, or targeted abuse.
5. No Threats or Incitement to Violence
Do not make credible threats of violence or encourage, organize, celebrate, or promote violence against individuals or groups.
Content promoting violent organizations or ideologies may also be removed when it presents a safety risk or conflicts with these rules.
6. Respect People’s Privacy
Do not publish private or personally identifying information about another person without permission.
This includes doxxing or publishing information such as private addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, unpublished workplace information, financial information, or other information intended to expose, intimidate, or endanger someone.
7. No Spam, Scams, or Malicious Activity
Spam, phishing, scams, malware, deceptive links, fraudulent activity, and other malicious behavior are prohibited.
Accounts or automated systems primarily intended to flood communities, manipulate engagement, or disrupt conversations may be restricted or removed.
8. Bots, AI, and Automated Accounts
Bots, AI-assisted accounts, automated posting systems, RSS-based accounts, and other forms of automation are permitted.
They must follow all other server rules and must be clearly identified as automated, bot-operated, AI-operated, or AI-assisted when applicable.
Automation does not exempt an account from moderation. The person or organization operating an automated account remains responsible for its behavior and content.
Bots, AI systems, automated accounts, or integrations that create excessive traffic, spam, misleading content, abusive behavior, moderation problems, or other disruption may be restricted, suspended, or permanently removed.
Whether a bot, AI system, automated account, or other automated service is appropriate for this server is determined solely by the server administrator. Such accounts may be limited or removed at the administrator’s sole discretion.
9. No Impersonation or Deceptive Identity
Do not impersonate another person, organization, community, or server in a way that is intended to deceive others.
Parody and satire are permitted when they are reasonably identifiable as such.
10. Respect Copyright and Attribution
Do not knowingly post material that infringes another person’s copyright or other intellectual-property rights.
Quotations, images, articles, and other material created by someone else should be appropriately attributed when applicable.
Valid copyright or infringement notices sent to the contact address for this server will be reviewed and acted upon as appropriate.
11. Respect Community Rules
Individual communities may establish additional rules appropriate to their subject matter.
Users participating in a community are expected to follow both these server-wide rules and the rules established by that community.
Community rules may be more restrictive than these server-wide rules but may not override them.
Moderation and Administrative Authority
This server is privately operated.
The server administrator is the sole arbiter of these rules and has final authority over moderation, federation, account access, communities, and content hosted by this server.
The administrator may remove content, restrict accounts, suspend or permanently ban accounts, close communities, limit features, or take any other reasonable action considered necessary to protect the server, its users, or its operation.
Serious violations may result in immediate suspension or removal without warning.
Attempts to evade moderation actions, including creating additional accounts to circumvent a suspension or ban, are prohibited.
Moderation decisions are made at the sole discretion of the server administrator. Those decisions are final and are not subject to public debate, voting, or negotiation.
Users may report errors or provide additional information regarding a moderation action, but doing so does not create a right to an appeal or require the administrator to reverse or reconsider a decision.
Federation
Federation with another server is voluntary.
This server may limit, silence, suspend, or completely block federation with servers that repeatedly originate spam, harassment, illegal material, malicious activity, coordinated abuse, prohibited NSFW material, or other content that substantially conflicts with these rules.
A server may also be blocked when abusive behavior is systemic, encouraged by its administrators, or its administrators consistently fail to address serious abuse originating from their server.
Federation decisions are made solely by the server administrator and may be changed at any time.
No remote server, community, account, or user has a right to federation with this server.
Public Nature of the Fediverse
The Fediverse is a distributed social network. Content can be transmitted to and stored by independently operated servers outside the control of this server.
Anything posted, uploaded, commented, replied to, reacted to, or otherwise shared through the Fediverse should be treated as potentially public.
Do not post anything you would be unwilling to have seen, copied, or shared with the wider public.
Content may be copied, cached, indexed, archived, quoted, forwarded, downloaded, screenshotted, or otherwise retained by other servers, services, or users.
Privacy or visibility settings may affect how software initially distributes content, but they cannot guarantee that a recipient will not copy, save, or redistribute it.
Direct messages, limited-audience posts, followers-only posts, and similar content should therefore not be treated as secure or confidential communications.
Once content has been transmitted to another server or user, this server may have no ability to retrieve or delete every copy.
Reports and Questions
If you believe content or activity originating from this server violates these rules, applicable law, or your rights, please use the contact information provided on this server.
Good-faith reports and moderation questions are welcome.
Reports are reviewed by the server administrator, who retains final authority over any action taken.
