Code of Conduct

Disclaimer: These rules are based upon the rules from mastedon.social. We feel that their policies are fairly close to what we aim to enforce here.

The following guidelines are not a legal document, and final interpretation is up to the administration of landofkittens.social; they are here to provide you with an insight into our content moderation policies:

  1. The following types of content will be removed (or censored) from the public timeline:
    1. Excessive advertising
    2. Uncurated news bots posting from third-party news sources
    3. Untagged nudity, pornography and sexually explicit content, including artistic depictions
  2. The following types of content are explicitly disallowed and will result in revocation of access to this instance:
    1. Gore and extremely graphic violence, including artistic depictions
    2. Sexual depictions of children
    3. Content illegal in Germany and/or The United Kingdom, such as holocaust denial or Nazi symbolism
    4. Conduct promoting the ideology of National Socialism
    5. Racism or advocation of racism
    6. Sexism or advocation of sexism
    7. Casteism or advocation of casteism
    8. Discrimination against gender and sexual minorities, or advocation thereof
    9. Xenophobic and/or violent nationalism
  3. Any conduct intended to stalk or harass other users, or to impede other users from utilizing the service, or to degrade the performance of the service, or to harass other users, or to incite other users to perform any of the aforementioned actions, is also disallowed, and subject to punishment up to and including revocation of access to the service. This includes, but is not limited to, the following behaviors:
    1. Continuing to engage in conversation with a user that has specifically has requested for said engagement with that user to cease and desist may be considered harassment, regardless of platform-specific privacy tools employed.
    2. Aggregating, posting, and/or disseminating a person's demographic, personal, or private data without express permission (informally called doxing or dropping dox) may be considered harassment.
    3. Inciting users to engage another user in continued interaction or discussion after a user has requested for said engagement with that user to cease and desist (informally called brigading or dogpiling) may be considered harassment.

These provisions notwithstanding, the administration of the service reserves the right to revoke any user's access permissions, at any time, for any reason, except as limited by law.

Final notes from the moderation team

Just like with our Discord, the aim for this platform is to be a safe space for our users to interact with other people on the internet. Whilst we can't enforce what happens on other instances, we will enforce the above rules as much as possible for the local accounts. Anyone found in violation of these rules will be dealt with in the correct manor depending on which rules have been broken. This may extend as far as being banned from each seperate platform that we exist on, or even being reported to local law enforcement.

As always, just be nice to eachother :)

Listing on fedi.wiki

This instance is listed on fedi.wiki. Due to the nature of the wiki, we do not trust it to reliably provide accurate information about us.
Thus, Ted created a wiki page for our instance and created an archive of it in a pure and unadulterated form, which can be accessed here.
LandofKittens.social neither agrees with, nor intends to in any way promote or endorse, the extreme viewpoints which fedi.wiki may depict.
Ted created the page for Landofkittens.social on fedi.wiki in an attempt to provide truthful information, and to prevent others from being able to authoritatively do the same with less-positive intent.
Landofkittens.social can in no way guarantee that the information regarding itself on fedi.wiki is accurate -- and while it has faith in the archival service(s) used for preservation of the intended content of the wiki page for Landofkittens.social, it cannot and does not intend to guarantee truthful, faithful or reasonable representation of itself through these external means, and its actions should not in any way be construed as an attempt to do so.



Donations

For Land of Kittens, we run a lot of services such as a Minecraft Network, Movie Nights, Fediverse and the occasional give away. A lot of the money for these things comes directly from a few members of our moderation team and whilst the funding is currently sustainable, it's also really appreciated when we recieve any external donations from our members.

We will never charge to access anything we host but at the same time, if you're wanting to give back in any form, we do have a Paypal pool to recieve tips! You can find it here! If you do decide to donate and you also happen to be part of our Discord, let one of the moderators know so that we can apply the donor rank to you.
