Rules and Guidelines

1. No BigotryIncluding racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

2. Be CivilArgue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

3. No PornThis instance is not made to host porn communities. You're free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tagUse your common sense: if you wouldn't want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the
spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner. :::
5. No Ads / SpamThis instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn't be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot accountIf you are the operator of a "bot" account, make sure to flag is as such in the account's settings.

7. Right to privacyDo NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuseThe report function isn't labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn't mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. ImpersonationDon't make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn't.

Yes, the pickup truck that is shaped like a low-effort Pinewood Derby car will definitely be safer for pedestrians, that totally scans. /s

Apparently Pierre's campaign has been using Echo Beach without proper consent of Martha and the Muffins. Add this to the Trump similarities list.

Make no mistake: The Conservatives have revved up their chainsaw. They are just hoping that voters won’t hear it over the soothing muzak of wildly optimistic budget projections. 

Desperate to recover the ground he has lost to the Liberals, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has solemnly pledged to maintain federal transfers for health care and education to provinces and income supports for individuals like Old Age Security (OAS). He has even said he would maintain new programs like pharmacare, dental care and $10/day childcare programs, just months ago he “rejected.”

Behind closed doors, it is another story altogether. A member of Poilievre’s transition team let slip that if elected, they plan to hit Canadians hard and fast with a flurry of cutbacks modelled on Mike Harris’ government, whose Common Sense Revolution devastated Ontario’s social safety net and public services.

Media leaks from a recent closed-door conservative confab lend credibility to these sources. At the Canada Strong and Free conference, top Conservatives said there is “no reason why we can’t move more quickly” than Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in slashing government programs and laying off public employees. And Conservative-aligned tech billionaires have been yearning for a Canadian version of DOGE – until they realized it was harming the party’s prospects.

That ~~face~~ grimace, he just started falling down a k-hole.

Ketamine is a hallucinogenic drug that can cause a euphoric, out-of-body sensation known as a K-hole. Ketamine is used by healthcare professionals for certain medical purposes under controlled conditions.

However, it can cause serious psychological and physical side effects when used recreationally, chronically, or at high doses.

I personally don't mind a little, occasionally.

Edit: i almost forgot: Fuck this son of Musk ( his father is even worse )

When the app has been updated, it shows a popup with the last changes. Once you close it, there seems to be no way to re-open it again.

Am I mistaken? Because I would very much like to have the ability to review the changelog after closing the popup.

I am able to create and access two multicommunities, but when I try to create one with [email protected], it tells me that my instance is not responding.

Not sure what the issue is. As soon as [email protected] is removed from the multicommunity, it seems to work fine.
