Moderation

+

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.

+

We have little spoons to deal with anything and tend to take action swiftly. We suspend instances that:

-

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.).

+

For anything else, we usually tend to media-silence:

+ +

By default, we don't block through guilt-by-federation. However, if we find an instance that federates with bad actors, especially with those that have harmed us before, and it is actively being federated/interacted with, we may consider the instance for suspension depending on the case. Once again, for the safety of ourselves and our users.

+

We also may suspend/silence instances if our users are reportedly uncomfortable about it, whether via the users or the content on the instance.


-

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 against our rules or should have action taken against, then report it (whether it's local or remote content).

+

If you're a user, and you'd like to question any of our moderation decisions or actions, or talk about a specific instance (or for more information on why we block/silence and instance/user), 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.

- Our moderation behavior/Information on removal of entries + More sensitive topics about moderation and the wider Fediverse
-

We will be hesitant to remove any entries from our lists, because being completely honest: The Fediverse is a horrible network filled with terrible people from a moderator and "normal person" standpoint. This is why we take a more "strict" approach to doing our moderation, to make an attempt to provide a safe and enjoyable experience.

-

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.

+

For those who think our moderation is "too strict", 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.

+

Being completely honest: The Fediverse is a horrible network filled with terrible 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.

+

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.

+

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.

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.
