These are set and enforced by the kind.social moderators.
-
Don't be an asshole, and don't post anything illegal. Those concepts guide most other rules & moderation.
-
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, ableism, harassment, or other hateful conduct. Please, also report it whenever seen.
-
Content Warnings & Sensitive Media labels are required for depictions of nudity, bloodshed, or extreme harm.
CWs, Alt Text, & PascalCase hashtags are encouraged for improving everyone's experiences, especially disabled users. However, policing posts or bullying people to using them is unacceptable.
-
No big corporate advertising, spam, or accounts.
No crypto advertising, spam, or accounts.
No "AI" advertising, spam, or accounts.
However, small businesses & independent creators, along with their self-promotion, are welcomed and encouraged.
-
Automated & Bot accounts must be labeled as such. If the account will be regularly posting more than 3 times a day, posts should be set as Unlisted by default to prevent clogging up the Local timeline.
