<p>{instance-name} is not a service and you are not a customer here. We are a small part of
|
|
a bigger social change, creating a large decentralized community. This means that we don't
|
|
have to be neutral toward the content on our GNU social instance. If you don't like the
|
|
direction this instance is going, you are free to move to another instance or start your own.
|
|
You will still be able to follow and be followed (and blocked) by users on this instance.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In constrast to the top-down authority of commercial social media, this creates a kind
|
|
of flat power structure. We are enabled to protect eachother from harassment and oppression,
|
|
but without centralized censorship.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On this instance, users who harass others will be removed. We also take a strong stance
|
|
against e.g. racism, sexism, ableism, homo- and transphobia. Such expressions make the
|
|
site unsafe for other users, and in practice limit their freedom of speech.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Public Timeline is considered an especially sensitive place. It is what new users see,
|
|
and all registered users will see the posts published there. Moderators can exclude users
|
|
from appearing in the public timeline it at any moment, without warning, permanently or
|
|
temporarily. Consider it a privilege to be published in the public timeline, not a right.
|
|
If you are excluded from the public timeline, you can still use all other features on the
|
|
site just like any other user.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Advertising and commercial entities are not allowed on this instance. We are completely
|
|
non-profit and all our expenses are payed for by donations from individuals.
