The following rules governs reddthat.com and all communities hosted on reddthat

Ground Rules

We are a NSFW enabled instance, which means there may be NSFW content in the Local and All categories if you leave NSFW enabled in your account. If you do not wish to view NSFW content you are still welcome here but make sure you toggle off Show NSFW content under your Settings

Another option is to select “Block Community” from the sidebar, when on the specific community. Once you have done that you will never see it again!

Our Instance Rules

  • General Code of Conduct
  • Any NSFW post must be tagged as NSFW. Failure to do so will be given one warning only
    • Anything that you wouldn’t want your boss or coworkers to see, needs to be tagged NSFW
    • NSFW also acts as “Content Warning” outside of the specific NSFW communities
  • Remember the human! (no harassment, threats, etc.)
  • No racism or other discrimination
  • No endorsement of hate speech
  • No self-advertisements or spam
  • No link-spamming
    • Recommended 5 links per community per day unless noted in Community Rules
  • No content against Australian Law

Any posts or comments that are in breach of these rules will be dealt with, and remediation will occur. Whether that be a warning, temporary ban, or permanent ban.

(TLDR) The crux of it boils down to:

  • Remember that we are all humans
  • Don’t be overtly aggressive towards anyone
  • Try and share ideas, thoughts and criticisms in a constructive way
  • Tag any NSFW posts as such

Moderation

We agree with the Code of Conduct for Moderation and will due our best to uphold it.

Lemmy provides the Moderation Log for everyone to see as well. This is a federated log where actions taken by other moderators and other instance admins are shown. As such the posts that exist in the log come with a content warning

You can see the modlog in the bottom of the sidebar. Here is the link if you wish to see it.

References

As both links above reference a domain outside of our control (join-lemmy). Here is the git commit and the wayback link:

      These rules are for posting on all communities hosted on reddthat.com specifically, and are generally just good guidelines to being a good netizen.

      Most communities have extra rules that are tailored to their own community. As you can tell, we are very lenient in what we (reddthat) allow and will continue to do so as long as we are able and everyone behaves themselves.

      I would say you would need to follow our rules, and the rules of the community, regardless what that community is. I think that as long as you follow common sense and attempt to be a nice human being you will be fine.

      If you post on a community that doesn’t end with @reddthat.com that means it is on another server.
      But with the power of the fediverse, reddthat has a cached version of that community, and when you post to it, that content goes via our server. Our server then talks to the other server about the new content.
      This feature is why we do not have a comment or posting lag that other big instances have, where you get a 5-10 second delay for every comment.

      I hope that answers your questions.
