Encouraged Behavior

• We encourage you to be kind, listen first, act second and do your best.
• Please use content notes (or content warnings) liberally (at your discretion), particularly for:
  • Content that would be reasonably expected to be harmful to any group, particularly marginalized groups.
  • Includes flashing or rapidly changing images.
• Your well-being is important. Filter, mute and block when needed.
• DMs are not end-2-end encrypted. Please do not use DMs to send any confidential information that you won't be comfortable sharing with the system admins and moderators.
• When sharing images, please provide alt-text.
• You are encouraged to report any behavior you see both on our instance (see Mastodon/Conflict Resolution) or on any other instance (See: Federation Abuse Policy) that violates this code of conduct or any other neuromatch.social policies. Reports are how our moderation team keeps the instance safe for everyone.

Unacceptable Behavior

We're all free speech absolutists here, and by that we mean there are things in your free speech that we absolutely won't allow. Specifically —

• No bigotry of any kind is allowed.
• Discriminatory language, sexism, racism, misogyny, ableism, homophobia and transphobia are right out.
• No fascism. No nazism. No genocide denial. No genocide apology. Simple as.
• No doxing
• No harrassment
• No nonconsensual or illegal sexual material
• Other legal requirements [is there text we could use?]
• No impersonation of individuals or organizations without intent to parody [?]
• That being said, we're quite reasonable.
