Conduct, Content, and Moderation Policies

Reporting Accounts

When reporting accounts, please include a few posts that show rule-breaking behavior, when applicable. If there is any additional context that might help make a decision, please also include it in the comment.

We usually handle reports within 24 hours.

Please note that you are not notified when a report you have made has led to a punitive action, and that not all punitive actions are externally visible. For first time offenses, we may opt to delete offending content, escalating to harsher measures on repeat offenses. The moderation team reserves the right to take any action they deem appropriate, with or without notice.

Terms of Service

a2mi.social is operated by Washtenaw Social LLC.

All users are expected to follow the site rules, and repeated or serious violations will lead to account suspension.

Creation of multiple accounts in order to avoid or evade moderation actions is not allowed. Violations will lead to suspension of all your accounts.

Regardless of your a2mi.social account status:

  • Usage that may undermine users’ security and privacy expectations (like scraping, indexing, or followbots) is not permitted.
  • Usage that enables harassment, abuse, hate speech, spamming, or that enables violation of any other site rule is likewise disallowed.
  • Usage that violates or aims to subvert the server-level moderation policies is not allowed.

Violations may result in suspension of your account, suspension of federation with your server, or network-level blocks, with no warning.

Server-level Moderation

To provide a pleasant space for the community, we block federation at the server level with Mastodon sites known to:

  • Present security or privacy risks
  • Enable hate speech, violent speech, or other violent/hateful ideologies
  • Enable harassment or abuse
  • Propagate dangerous conspiracy theories
  • Tolerate/host content that's illegal in the US
  • Enable spamming
