<h2><a href="#moderation">Moderation</a></h2>
<p>For all of our Fediverse instances that we manage, we moderate collaboratively along with other friends and closely tied instances. We moderate on a "Trust Nobody" level for remote instances, due to past negative 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>Consists of having communities/a majority of users who are racist/facists, queerphobic, and anything else crossing those lines <i>or</i> breaks any of our rules.</li>
<li>Known instances or communities/groups that harass others/our own communities and 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 own safety)</i></small>.</li>
<li>Maliciously modifies federation (Ignoring deletes, converting non-public posts to public, Etc.)</li>
</ul>
<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 consistently federates or otherwise associates and notably supports bad actors - more specifically those who have otherwised harmed us or others/close friends and instances before - we may consider the instance for <b>suspension</b> depending on the case. This is entirely for the safety of our own community and the many risk factors of keeping continued federation.</p>
<p>We also may <b>suspend</b>/<i>silence</i> instances if our users are reportedly uncomfortable about them, whether via the users or the content on the instance. Again, we want a safe space for ourselves and friends.</p>
<p>Our actions aren't limited to what is based on interactions from/within our own community. If we find harassment or otherwise any negative behavior towards other users or our close friends/instances, action <i>will</i> still be done. Remember: we moderate <i>collaboratively</i>.</p>
<hr class="solid">
<p>If you're a user, and would 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 a specific instance)</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>

<section>
<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>

<p>If you'd wish to see our moderation lists, such as all of our instance blocks and silences, check if the software that the instance you're housed on allows you to view our moderation policies directly. If that is not the case, ask a moderator/administrator and we'll pass a copy of our current lists over.</p>
