-
Be kind
Take a deep breath.
-
Be generous
With your time, your feelings, your patience.
-
Be curious
Ask questions (but not too many), be open to learning new things from new people.
-
Be brave
It can be hard to admit you're wrong. It can be hard to talk about some subjects. If you feel vulnerable, use a Content Warning, or don't be afraid to ask others to use a Content Warning.
-
Be humble
-
No Law Enforcement Officers
In order to provide a safe space for all members, but especially those with diverse lived experiences, we do not accept registrations on this server from RCMP, Police, or other law enforcement entities as there are many other instances for those entities to join Mastodon and the Fediverse. We ask that you respect this limitation.
-
Use Alt Text for Images
For accessibility of vision-impaired users, we require the use of alt-text on all images attached to your content. Many users and instances will also not accept or boost posts that include images without alt text. If your image does not contain alt-text, a bot may warn you of the missing information. You can follow @PleaseCaptionBot@hachyderm.io for helpful reminders.
-
Suggestions - Use Content Warnings Generously - NSFW content may be limited/suspended if reported.
If you want to avoid sending to the Fediverse as a whole, set your posts to "Followers" by Default rather than Public.
