| This is my fork of [Mastodon](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon), a | ||
| federated social network. It's hosted on DigitalOcean [(referral link)](https://m.do.co/c/4a83a8a7aedf) | ||
| at [mastodon.technology](https://mastodon.technology), paid for by [my | ||
| wonderful Patreon sponsors](https://www.patreon.com/user?u=3581610). | ||
| federated social network. This ran mastodon.technology (aka `m.t`) from 2017-2022, [pending shutdown](https://ashfurrow.com/blog/mastodon-technology-shutdown/) by the end of this year. | ||
|
|
||
| The instance adopts the [TootCat Code of Conduct](https://github.com/TootCat/mastodon/wiki/Code-of-Conduct/41432d2c42ba9be52f2710b8b5c7b77f41271c0b). | ||
| Reports are dealt with regularly. | ||
| Colour scheme available [here](http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/298957/Paris_mon_Amour). | ||
|
|
||
| Our instance block list [is public](https://mastodon.technology/about/more). [Contact me](mailto:[email protected]) if you | ||
| think your instance is blocked incorrectly. | ||
| ## Code of Conduct | ||
|
|
||
| Colour scheme available [here](http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/298957/Paris_mon_Amour). | ||
| One of the things that made m.t special was its Code of Conduct. We created new rules as we learned, and we enforced the Code of Conduct. This wasn't always easy but it made our users feel safe. | ||
|
|
||
| In an effort to help other instances create nice places on the internet, here is the Code of Conduct as it existed at the end of m.t's run. | ||
|
|
||
| ```html | ||
| <a href="https://ashfurrow.com/blog/mastodon-technology-shutdown/">mastodon.technology is shutting down by the end of 2022</a>. Please migrate your data immediately. | ||
|
|
||
| <h2>Rules</h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>No advertising or excessive promotion.</li> | ||
| <li>No bots, unless they're cute, funny, or useful. Bots should avoid posting to the public timeline.</li> | ||
| <li>No pornography.</li> | ||
| <li>No gore or graphic violence.</li> | ||
| <li>Content that is borderline NSFW or could be construed as NSFW at a glance should be put behind a CW (Content Warning).</li> | ||
| <li>No racism.</li> | ||
| <li>No sexism.</li> | ||
| <li>No discrimination based on gender, sexual minority, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or national origin.</li> | ||
| <li>No xenophobia, nationalism, casteism, or fascism; no sympathizing with or advocating for these things.</li> | ||
| <li>No sexual depictions of children.</li> | ||
| <li>No holocaust denialism, no Nazi symbolism, no promotion of National Socialism.</li> | ||
| <li>No stalking or harassment. In general, if someone asks you to stop interacting with them, then stop.</li> | ||
| <li>Stalking, harassment, hate speech, or doxing that is posted to other instances or on other social media platforms is still grounds for having your account terminated here.</li> | ||
| <li>No posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying information ("doxing").</li> | ||
| <li>No unwelcome sexual attention.</li> | ||
| <li>No public or private oppressive language or actions.</li> | ||
| <li>No promotion of conspiracy theories (eg anti-vax, anti-mask, anti-COVID).</li> | ||
| <li>No unsolicited advice to strangers.</li> | ||
| <li>No advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour.</li> | ||
| <li>No other unethical conduct.</li> | ||
| <li>No scraping content from web interface or API.</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>To <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance">protect the free speech of users belonging to marginalized groups</a>, mastodon.technology does not federate with overtly fascist instances. Additionally, we will refuse to federate with instances that themselves choose to federate with fascist instances.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>Our <a href="https://github.com/ashfurrow/mastodon/blob/public/README.md#blocked-instances">list of blocked instances</a> is publicly documented.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h2>Handling harassment</h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>If you are being harassed, please report the user using the "…" button and then "Report." For urgent concerns, please DM <a href="https://mastodon.technology/@ashfurrow">Ash</a>.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>If you engage in harassing behavior, the moderator may take any action they deem appropriate, such as a warning or an expulsion.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| ## Moderation | ||
| <p>The above rules may change at any time, and you may be banned at any time based on the moderators' judgment.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| Our moderators are: | ||
| <h2>Privacy policy</h2> | ||
|
|
||
| - [Me](https://mastodon.technology/@ashfurrow) | ||
| - [Fuzzface](https://mastodon.technology/@fuzzface) | ||
| - [Brian!](https://mastodon.technology/@bclindner) | ||
| <p>What will we do with your data? Nothing. How will you be influenced by advertisers? You won't. How will we aggregate your data in order to improve your service… none of that.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| When we get a report, we evaluate the problematic user or post against our [Code of Conduct](https://mastodon.technology/about/more). Mods make a call, discussing with each other to come to a consensus when necessary. Rather than prescribe a comprehensive moderation strategy, what follows is a list of scenarios and actions we take. In any case, we privately contact reporting users and let them know what actions we took (only if they're a local user; remote reports are anonymous). | ||
| <p>We will never share your data with anyone else, except in the case of valid legal requests if it comes to that. (Hopefully it won't come to that!) Similarly, users and third parties are forbidden from scraping content from the instance's web interface or API; you are required to respect <code>robots.txt</code> files.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| ### A user is excessively promoting themselves | ||
| <p>More privacy measures on mastodon.technology:</p> | ||
|
|
||
| Advertising and excessive promotion is prohibited by our CoC. | ||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>HTTPS is used everywhere thanks to Let's Encrypt.</li> | ||
| <li>No ads or trackers.</li> | ||
| <li>Links are direct URLs rather than tracking redirects.</li> | ||
| <li>Understand though that this instance is run by Ash, and (as is the case with all Mastodon servers) he potentially have access to your data, including DMs. The back-end is also not encrypted. If this is not okay with you, this might not be the instance for you.</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
|
|
||
| - If it's a spam bot, we will suspend them. | ||
| - If it's a company/conference/something else that is promoting themselves appropriately, but excessively, we talk to them to make sure they follow the CoC. They only get one warning, and we silence first while we talk to them. | ||
| <p>Also, for truly private data sent between two people, Mastodon offers no E2E encryption. So use Signal for the things you really want to be private.</p> | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ### A user is posting prohibited context | ||
| ## Block Lists | ||
|
|
||
| For example: pornography, untagged NSFW content, racism, impersonation, doxing etc. | ||
| Here is an archive of our block lists. I've omitted the reasons for each block because a) we weren't consistent with them, and b) I want to take the target off my back. Having our block lists public helped other instances and our users, but it also made m.t and myself the target of some bad people. | ||
|
|
||
| - For clearly malicious users, we suspend them. | ||
| - For users with good past behaviour, or for borderline content, we silence them until we can discuss next steps with them. | ||

|
||
| In an effort to reduce the [bus factor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor) and make mastodon.technology resilient to the single point of failure of its admin, me, we have the following emergency protocol in place. It's not perfect, and it's not final, but we will refine it over time. | ||

||
| If the worst happens to me, eventually DigitalOcean/AWS/Mailgun/Hover billing failures will cause the instance to collapse. The plan mitigates the sudden loss of the instance and user data; its goal is to give users the chance to export their data and migrate to another instance. | ||
| </details> | ||
|
|
||
| In the event that I disappear and am not contactable for over a week, our mods will contact a designated person who knows me in the real world and who can confirm if I'm permanently unable to administer the instance. After 7 days of being unable to contact me, they can reach out to this person (whose identity is a secret for security reasons) and confirm the situation. | ||
