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. Don't be an asshole. This includes the obvious, such as blatant bigotry, harassment, and hate speech, but also the less obvious: if someone tells you they feel you are being unkind, stop!
2. Magetown is not a free speech zone. "Disciplinary action," such as it is, will only ever be used as an absolute last resort in Magetown, but in situations of overt cruelty or repeated callousness, I will not hesitate to cast on you a spell of "banished from Magetown forever." 
3. Go nuts, show nuts, whatever! But please use a content warning (the "CW" option that shows up when you make a post). Sexually explicit content, gory or graphically violent content, and triggering content related to mental illness and substance abuse should always have a CW.
4. More CWs is better. Other mastodon instances frequently enforce rules around using CWs for content such as politics, alcohol & drugs, eye contact in images, sexual themes, food, and negative posts in general. We have no hard-and-fast rules about those topics here, but try and be mindful!
5. Local-only posts should stay local-only. If someone in Magetown has posted something with the local-only privacy setting, it is a violation of trust to share that content outside of Magetown. Always seek explicit permission before sharing someone's local-only post with others.
6. The following ideologies are NOT welcome in Magetown, ever: alt-right, nazism, white nationalism, religious fundamentalism, anti-feminism, radical "feminism"/TERF/SWERF, truscum/transmed. There is zero-tolerance among mages for bigotry.

Magetown is a pocket-sized mastodon instance running the hometown fork that welcomes creatives and magic-makers of all kinds. We are a server by queer BIPOC for queer BIPOC (allies welcome). This is not a free speech zone: there is zero-tolerance among mages for bigotry or harassment of any kind.

If you are an instance admin and you have concerns about why mage.town doesn't have a particular (shitty) instance blocked, please consider reaching out to the admin about it directly rather than de-federating from us right away—chances are we just didn't know about that instance, and will block them if you let us know.
