Server rules

Below is a summary of rules you need to follow if you want to have an account on this server of Mastodon:

1. Discrimination, especially against minorities, is strongly discouraged. This includes, but is not limited to: Racism, xenophobia. Homophobia, transphobia, and other queerphobia. Classism. Gatekeeping the "queer" status (acephobia, etc.)
2. "Punching up" does not fall under the guideline above, and is allowed.
3. Usage of right-wing figures of speech are strongly discouraged. Please keep yourselves up-to-date on the dog whistles that are going around. Of course, this point will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, as right-wing dog whistles are created to intentionally hijack everyday jokes and signs.
4. Advertising is strongly discouraged. Fund raisers, users of the site selling their own products or advertising their services are fine - we absolutely do not want corporations to advertise on here, however.
5. Posting media without media descriptions, also known as alt text, is strongly discouraged. We encourage you to enable the popups that warn you if you are about to toot or boost content that does not follow this guideline.
6. Don't spam. Of course, some jokes are mostly repetitive (common "fedi bits"), but use common sense on where to draw the line. If the local timeline contains just your toots, you're taking it too far.
7. Do not interpret these guidelines in bad faith, not even for "playing the devil's advocate". We are trying to foster a progressive community - if you have an issue with the guidelines, feel free to discuss it.
8. You must use content warnings for content. This includes obvious topics such as sexual content, assault, mental health issues, but also less obvious ones like food, selfies, pictures with eye contact to the viewer, etc. Even if you may not find topics triggering at all, this helps.
9. Any content illegal in Austria will be removed. We want this site to stay online, and as such, we have to follow laws in addition to our own morals.

Welcome to CatCatNya~! We are a left-wing instance.

A general failure to follow the guidelines above will, depending on the severity, lead to the removal of your posts or your account.

These rules are loosely based on those hellsite.site and notbird.site have, as the admin was a long-time user of the latter instance.

Federation policy

CatCatNya~ will generally freely federate. However, defederation will occur if harassment occurs, fash/tankies are on the overwhelming majority on an instance, an instance being "free speech" or otherwise unmoderated, or if an instance is otherwise deemed harmful to users on CatCatNya~.

Other info

We are running the glitch-soc fork of Mastodon. For more info about it, see the glitch-soc webpage. The actual source code running on the instance can be viewed at this git repository. Donation links, more info about the admin and more at kescher.at.

Moderated servers

Mastodon generally allows you to view content from and interact with users from any other server in the fediverse. These are the exceptions that have been made on this particular server.

Filtered media

Media files from these servers will not be processed or stored, and no thumbnails will be displayed, requiring manual click-through to the original file:

Server	Reason
ral***.*oe	minors should probably not label their alt accounts on other instances "lewd". Will limit for some time.

Limited servers

Posts from these servers will be hidden in public timelines and conversations, and no notifications will be generated from their users interactions, unless you are following them:

Server	Reason
absturztau.be	federates and interacts a lot with well-known fashy instances.
fedi.absturztau.be	federates and interacts a lot with well-known fashy instances.
mk.absturztau.be	federates and interacts a lot with well-known fashy instances.
raxx.la	Blocks crimew.gay, as well as notbird.site, for "hosting a hacktivist", citing avoiding getting own servers seized.
ral***.*oe	minors should probably not label their alt accounts on other instances "lewd". Will limit for some time.
