Welcome to Expired Mentality or EMR in short. The idea behind instance is providing friendly place to communicate and freedom of choice. We don't have any theme on this instance so in fact everyone is welcome. But keep in mind this is:
However, I believe in open communication, so I hope we can reach in agreement in controversial cases. Also, I believe that everyone here is mature enough to solve their own social problems by themselves.
Just don't be asshole and have fun. pic related
We federate with everyone until it comes with no cost. Before applying any policy, I would try to contact instance staff to resolve the issue. If there is no way to get an agreement, it's not my problem anymore and you may be blocked/silenced/etc.
Feel free to contact me about anything: if you have questions or troubles running E.M.R., if someone is violating the rules or if you just feel lonely.
If you have some requests, please open a ticket in our issue tracker in links below, so I would not forget.

Reports and widespread information on specific instances (often known as bad actors) will be verified and actions might be taken as necessary.
If any of the above behaviours start to surface from a given instance, the moderation of the local instance will attempt to inform the moderation/administration of that instance and resolve the problems coming from there. Only if no communication succeeded or no results that resolved issues came forth, actions will be taken towards that instance.
Blocklists and block recommendations as an information source are taken for granted but lack accurate verification. Instead of using these options to publicly announce instances of questionable intent, we will inform local users of such, with the reminder of possible personal options for hiding content that might impact their experience of the network.
If we have applied any action against Instance X, an Instance Y that federates with them will not get the same judgement applied to them. A natural connection, as by the networks design, does not imply shared interests and thus doesn't warrant the same moderation methods.
Regardless of all given points above, in special cases the instance moderation/administration might still opt to block an instance, while this is tried to be avoided at most.

That's ok! Federation implies decentralization so if you don't like my instance in particular, you can choose anything else.
Not all instances share same community, so if you want to be around the probably polite, cutest and adorable people, cats, foxes or buns on The Fediverse, you may be interested in my list of friendly instances.
(However, I strictly recommend checking their ToS because I post only my personal opinion on these instances)
