Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.
No threats or personal attacks.
No spam.
Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

What did Mastodon.social do?
Updated the terms of service to say that you cannot sue them and have to submit to arbitration.
That sounds like bullshit as such clauses are nonexistent and nonenforceable in Germany
Edit: I've seen they've put this bullshit in. It does make me wonder if they've used ChatGPT to generate this. I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice but I would be very surprised if this would hold up in court. There is a reason that no big company or like nearly all companies don't have this in their ToS with end customers as it would probably get thrown out in court immediately
Some Law firms also write that this is not possible with end customers

oh interesting, I haven't seen that in my searches, aside from AI I only see them clarifying the terms. Mastodon.social makes it stupidly difficult to find their terms of service, and they way they have the website makes it so the wayback machine can't archive it, so I can't see what the previous terms were. That's super annoying.
Quick reminder that, since only quite recently, they also have a PeerTube instance: https://tube.blahaj.zone/
Is there a way I can see everything blahaj hosts? If I go to https://blahaj.zone/ it's just their sharkey instance.
right now they list most of their other services on the homepage of Blåhaj Tube:
blahaj.zone (Sharkey)
lemmy.blahaj.zone (Lemmy)
chat.blahaj.zone (Matrix)
pix.blahaj.zone (Pixelfed)
not listed there is their Piefed instance, piefed.blahaj.zone, and of course their PeerTube instance which is where the list is
There's a lemmy (lemmy.blahaj.zone), a piefed (piefed.blahaj.zone), a sharkey (blahaj.zone), a peertube (tube.blahaj.zone), a pixelfed (pix.blahaj.zone), and finally a matrix server (ttps://chat.blahaj.zone/c/genderverse/)
Those are the ones I know at least
