These are set and enforced by the niagara.social moderators.
-
Nothing here is private. mastodon+hometown is not a private platform. do not post any illegal content or talk about illegal acts. Be cautious and considerate about posting personally identifying information.
-
Don't be shitty. Don't post content that is racist, sexist, transphobic (including deliberate misgendering or use of dead/birth/rejected names), homophobic, ableist, misogynistic, fatphobic, or otherwise bigoted. This behaviour will not be tolerated on the niagara.social platform.
-
Don't be creepy. This includes acts of intimidation, displaying a pattern of inappropriate social contact (such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others or posting sexual content where it is not appropriate), or posting content to upset other users.
-
Don't harass, troll, or pick fights on niagara.social, or any other instance. This puts you, and other members of niagara.social, at risk of being targeted by other members or instances.
-
Use content warnings/CWs when posting text and images that are of a sexual or graphic (involving injury, blood, or gore) nature. When posting this type of content, please consider whether it will be a welcome, appropriate contribution to the conversation you are involved in.
-
The niagara.social team also requests you use CWs when posting spoilers, but we aren't assholes and won't ban you for spoiling the ending of a movie that came out in 2007.
-
Don't impersonate others or steal their work. This typically includes the use of so-called "AI" to generate "art" (it's theft and a waste of resources).
-
To the best of your abilities, please include descriptions of images in the body of the post or in alt text for those who use assistive technology (such as screen readers).
