These + groups may be characterised by any of the following (though this + list is naturally incomplete): + - ethnicity + - gender identity or expression + - sexual identity or expression + - physical characteristics or age + - disability or illness + - nationality, residency, citizen status + - wealth or education + - religious affiliation, agnosticism or atheism +- We do not tolerate threatening behaviour, stalking, and + [doxxing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxxing) +- We do not tolerate harassment, including brigading, dogpiling, or + any other form of contact with a user who has stated that they do + not wish to be contacted. +- We do not tolerate mobbing, including name-calling, intentional + misgendering or deadnaming. +- We do not tolerate violent nationalist propaganda, Nazi symbolism or + promoting the ideology of National Socialism. +- We do not tolerate conspiracy narratives or other reactionary myths + supporting or leading to the above-mentioned (and/or similar) + behavior. +- Actions intended to damage this instance or its performance may lead + to immediate account suspension. +- Content that is illegal in Germany will be deleted and may lead to + immediate account suspension. + + +## Best practices + +The list below is a collection of behaviour that we expect to see from +our users. If you see a user go against these best practices in a way +that bothers you, please file a report and we will talk to them. While +these best practices are designed to be guidelines for a good communal +instance, **repeated malicious unwillingness** to follow the best +practices will be considered just like breaking a rule. + +- In general, use the tools provided to foster a considerate and + accessible atmosphere. This includes the liberal use of content + warnings (especially on potentially disturbing or controversial + topics), and alt-text captioning of media files. +- When possible, provide credit for creative works in your posts that + are not your own. +- Uninvited comments about another user\'s personal choices, lifestyle + or family are strongly discouraged and may be considered harassment. + Inappropriate sexual attention, comments about appearance and + implication of physical contact will not be tolerated toward any + non-consenting user. +- If you post sexual content or gore, use content warnings. +- If you post advertisements, use a content warning. Advertisements + should not be excessive or automated. +- Bots may only interact with a user when they\'re invited by that + user to do so. +- Automated posts and high-frequency posts should be **unlisted** + (rendering visible to everybody, but not appearing on the local + timeline) to keep the local timeline of our instance a place of + community dialogue and human interaction. This extends to bots, feed + posters, Twitter \"retweets\" and Twitter crossposts with broken + mentions (\"...@twitter.com\"). Crossposter accounts that stop being + active participants in our community may be removed at the + discretion of the moderators. +- In discussions, please remain civil, do not insult the people + you\'re talking to. Note that irony, sarcasm, or similar modes of + language don\'t translate well to written language and tend to + escalate discussions or misunderstandings. + +*(These best practices were inspired by the Terms of bsd.network.
