We use a system that does not imply permanent suspension of offending accounts, instead temporarily limiting offending account’s ability to post, with the duration of this limit being decided on individual basis, unless offending account consistently breaks any of described rules on purpose or if infringement is of high severity. In such cases, permanent suspension is applied to offending account.

---

Please also note that we enforce this list of rules non-exclusively, meaning that we will not tolerate infringements regardless of your race, gender, nationality, political or religious beliefs and/or any other attributes of any individual user. We believe that rules must be applied equally to everyone if we are meant to co-exist on this instance.

---

Please also note that we do not apply rules retroactively, meaning that if we introduce a new rule, post made before the date of rule’s introduction will not be persecuted. To facilitate this, any future additions to the list of rules will feature a timestamp of this rule (or group of rules) date of introduction.

---

Please also note that due to allowance of posting Pornographic and/or nudity on this instance, by using it you confirm that you are of legal age in your country of residence and allowed to view such content.

---

Please also note that we try not to limit federation with other instances in any way where we can, however, if we deem an instance as incompatible to our list of rules, we may choose to suspend federation with said instance.

---

Please also note that depending on the amount of activity on this instance, we might not be able to effectively enforce this set of rules on our own and users are highly encouraged to use built-in report feature should they find any content violating the rules.

---

Should you disagree with any of those rules you must cease usage of this instance immediately and chose an instance which you feel more comfortable with. You can find a list of other instances on https://joinmastodon.org (Most popular instances) and https://instances.social (most complete list).
