I am aware of current networking issues affecting all services—troubleshooting is underway
Calitabby Code of Conduct
Updated 2025-01-08Calitabby Network aims to promote free speech as much as possible, however we ask that you follow some rules to maintain an environment of positive communication and collaboration between users.
Spaces within the network, such as Matrix rooms, may impose their own rules in addition to this Code of Conduct. These rules are subject to change, and your feedback is welcome and encouraged!
Etiquette
- Be nice—even if you disagree, don't be hostile toward others
- Do not engage in name-calling or other ad hominem attacks; this includes slurs
- Keep conversations on topic for the space; move to another space if appropriate
- If you link to content on anti-user sites such as YouTube, Twitter/X, etc., consider linking an alternative frontend (e.g for YouTube, an instance of Invidious)
- Bots (user accounts controlled by automated software) should not be added to spaces without permission from their operators
Prohibited content
- NSFW content is prohibited outside of explicitly designated spaces
- Promoting authoritarianism and associated movements, such as Nazism
- Intentionally posting verifiably false (though multiple reputable sources) information that could harm others
- Spam and other unsolicited communications—this includes advertising or promoting projects, services or goods outside of proper channels
- Malware, ad/spyware, and to a lesser extent proprietary software that is not clearly labeled as such
- Copyrighted material you do not have permission to redistribute—we do not have the resources to fight a potential lawsuit, sorry!
- Any content that would result in legal or other issues to the network, such as defederation/blocklisting
Any of these are grounds for an immediate ban:
- Sexual depictions of animals or underaged humans, including drawn and computer-generated content (e.g. "loli", "shota", "yiff")
- Organizing harassment or violence against any individual on the basis of identity, for example by race or gender.
- Non-consensual dissemination of an individual's personal information, commonly referred to as doxxing
- Harassing other users, including users on federated servers
- Continuing to post any prohibited content after a warning
Moderation
- In the event a user violates this Code of Conduct or space-specific rules, discretion is given to network and space moderators respectively
- We assume each user is engaging in good faith, and will typically provide warnings before further action, such as removal from a space
- As listed above, extreme cases may result in network-wide suspension
- Appeals should be directed to the moderator who issued the action before escalating to a higher-level administrator of the space or network. Network moderators do not handle appeals regarding space-specific moderation
- Creating alt accounts to evade moderation actions is prohibited
