✋🏾 We'll never be ad-supported.

#Fediverse

The FLOSS.social community does not condone transphobia or any other activity, behavior, or statement aimed at the destruction of universal human rights. Such behavior violates our Community Code of Conduct and may result in sanctions of accounts and/or network federation. We take such violations seriously, and respond to reports quickly and firmly.

FLOSS.social users, despite constant firefighting of many hundreds of spammers in the past couple days, the traffic has unfortunately pushed our database size into the next tier of hosting costs, increasing our monthly Mastodon server cost by 20%.

⌛ We're currently at 76% of our weekly goal to meet costs. Can you chip in? Even $1/€1 can make a big difference.

💾 We're not going anywhere, but you should still back up your #Mastodon content regularly.

ℹ️ FLOSS.social has blocked all known IP addresses and domains owned by Facebook/Meta/Instagram/Threads from accessing or interacting with this instance, due to extended history of violations of our Community Code of Conduct.

This block is consistent with our ongoing practice to disallow traffic to/from instances that allow or support human rights abuse via their platform(s).

(An exception to our non-comment policy for moderation actions has been made in this case due to high concern.")

☣️ FLOSS.social was launched in the (now small) Mastodon signup wave at the end of March 2018, as a result of the #Facebook Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Since then, #Meta has shown little to no sincere interest in reforming their culture of abusing their users' human rights of privacy.

As a result, there is no reason to suspect they'll be any different if they join the #Fediverse, and our instance will respond accordingly.
