These are set and enforced by the astrodon.social moderators.
-
No hate speech, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, discrimination, or harassment of any kind.
-
Be respectful and treat others the way you want to be treated. Disagreement and collegiate discussion is acceptable, and rational debate is to be encouraged. Rudeness, insults, exclusion of others, dogpiling, and other anti-social behaviour is not.
-
No advertising or spam content. It's okay to promote yourself (especially your work and publications!), but not paid products or services.
-
Public images and media must be annotated. Where the material is not yours, source attribution must be provided, preferably with a link to the original.
-
No impersonation of others, or false representation of yourself, your credentials, or institutional affiliations.
-
No shortened links, e.g. bit.ly, t.ly, goo.gl, ift.tt, lnkd.in, is.gd or t.co (These are malicious because link-shorteners track users without their consent and obscure the destination address, which also prevents users from being able to decide whether they want to visit the link beforehand)
-
Use content warnings to help keep this a stress-free community. You are expected to mark off-topic content with a descriptive CW to allow other community members to engage with it or not. Stressful or triggering content (see community guidelines) must be marked with a content warning.
