Rules and Guidelines
1. No Bigotry
Including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
2. Be Civil
Argue 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 Porn
This 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.
spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner.
:::4. Use the NSFW tag
Use 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
5. No Ads / Spam
This 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 account
If you are the operator of a "bot" account, make sure to flag is as such in the account's settings.
7. Right to privacy
Do 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 abuse
The 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. Impersonation
Don'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.
10. Harassment
Don't pursue someone across communities and reply / downvote someone repeatedly on all the posts or comments they make. If they annoy you that much, the block feature is your friend.
11. Alt-accounts
The use of alt-accounts is permitted, however abusing them to engage in vote manipulation, ban evasion or any other disruptive behaviors are not permitted.
