<h2><a href="#moderation">Moderation</a></h2>
<p>For all of our Fediverse instances that we manage, we do moderation on our own.</p>
<p>We have little spoons to deal with anything and tend to take action swiftly. We moderate based on the usual:</p>
<p>For all of our Fediverse instances that we manage, we do moderation on our own, entirely opinionated. We moderate on a "Trust Nobody" level due to our own personal past experiences with the Fediverse. Frankly, we're a small place with burned-out moderators that want to provide a safe place for ourselves and friends.</p>
<p>We have little spoons to deal with anything and tend to take action swiftly. We <b>suspend</b> instances that:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Suspending</b> instances that consists of having communities/a majority of users who are either entirely horrible users or heavily radiates "Bad Vibes", including those that includes users who own opinions that we don't all necessarily agree with or could cause harm to others
</li>
<li>
<b>Suspending</b> instances that purposefully modifies federation in malicious ways (e.g. ignoring deletes, converting non-public posts to public on their end)
</li>
<li>
<b>Suspending</b> instances that have "the obvious"; anything that goes against our own rules
</li>
<li>
<b>Silencing</b> or <b>marking instances as NSFW</b> that don't have rules set on marking content properly (e.g. politics or NSFW media)
</li>
<ul>
<li>
We may also <b>Suspend</b> those that simply federate with related instances as it's too much of a risk to continue federation with those suspected of unwanted/problematic behavior, especially if it's very obvious
</li>
</ul>
<li>
<b>Silencing</b> or <b>marking instances as NSFW</b> that consists of heavy amounts (and to "Only") of "Irony-poisoned" or "racism funny" posting.
</li>
<li>Consists of having communities/a majority of users who are racist/facists, queerphobic, and anything else crossing those lines or breaks any of our rules.</li>
<li>Known instances or communities/groups that harass others/our friends.</li>
<li>Heavily radiates "Bad Vibes" to us collectively <small><i>(In ways where an instance may not appear bad on the surface, but consistently points in directions that nudges towards ideas that either harm us or risks our safety, or breaks our rules)</i></small>.</li>
<li>Maliciously modifies federation (Ignoring deletes, converting non-public posts to public, Etc.)</li>
</ul>
<p>Other instances that aren't inherently bad, but also constantly consists of any type of behavior that isn't worth full blown suspension will usually have other actions done to them as well (marked as NSFW, Silenced, etc.).</p>
<p>For anything else, we usually tend to <b><small>media-</small>silence</b>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Instances without rules for tagging content/with users that consistently don't properly tag posts, such as politics and NSFW-related posts.</li>
<li>Instances that mainly to <i>only</i> consists of heavy amounts of "Irony-poisoned" or "racism funny" posting.</li>
<li>Instances that may not be "bad" or break any rules on the surface, but collectively gives us very offputting vibes that we deem it possibly unsafe and limit federation for safety reasons.</li>
<li>Large instances affected by spam attacks.</li>
</ul>
<p><i>By default</i>, we don't block through guilt-by-federation. <i>However</i>, if we find an instance that federates with bad actors, <i>especially with those that have harmed us before</i>, <i>and</i> it is actively being federated/interacted with, we may consider the instance for <b>suspension</b> depending on the case. Once again, for the safety of ourselves and our users.</p>
<p>We also may <b>suspend</b>/<i>silence</i> instances if our users are reportedly uncomfortable about it, whether via the users or the content on the instance.</p>
<hr class="solid">
<p>If you'd like to question anything about our moderation or about a specific instance, feel free to ask us about it. If you find something that goes <i>against</i> our rules or should have action taken against, then report it (whether it's local or remote content).</p>
<p>If you're a user, and you'd like to question any of our moderation decisions or actions, or talk about a specific instance <small>(or for more information on why we block/silence and instance/user)</small>, feel free to bring it up with the moderators/administrators. If it's an instance/user you deem should be up for moderation action, report it instead.</p>

<p>We will be hesitant to remove any entries from our lists, because being completely honest: The Fediverse is a <i>horrible</i> network filled with terrible people from a moderator and "normal person" standpoint. This is why we take a more <i>"strict"</i> approach to doing our moderation, to make an attempt to provide a safe and enjoyable experience.</p>
<p>It is impossible to trust anyone here, especially those who have broken our trust and attempt to regain it. Despite this, we still host our Fediverse instances with pride and care, to provide a safe and curated space and as other social networks/platforms do not meet our wants and needs compared to the flexibility of the Fediverse.</p>
<p>For those who think our moderation is <i>"too strict"</i>, the Fediverse has caused us harm and has shown that it's an untrustworthy network, from time and time again. Our moderation decisions are made through blood and tears, as it is impossible to trust anyone on here.</p>
<p>Being completely honest: The Fediverse is a <i>horrible</i> network filled with <i>terrible</i> people from a moderator standpoint. Harassment, grooming/pedophilia issues and those who align with it, Nazi's crawling from every corner, having to deal with "Your Opinions Suck" and people attempting to force publicize/normalize traumatic experiences... Basically, everything that a normal user doesn't see because we get to it first.</p>
<p>As for why we still bother with the Fediverse and don't go anywhere else, it also happens to be the only platform with the same beings and creatures that we enjoy sharing presense with, along with multitudes of customizations compared to other existing platforms.</p>
<p>And despite everything, we still host our Fediverse instances with pride and care, to provide a safe and curated space, for those who want to be with us. <span class="icon tabler--heart" style="color:var(--green);"></span></p>
<p><small>For any visitors passing by, please thank your admins and moderators. Maybe give them some pocket change, it's the least you can do to help them regain some sanity. <span class="icon tabler--heart" style="color:var(--red);"></span></small></p>
