Welcome to The Outpost! 👋

NOTE: The Outpost has evolved to The BitForged Space - we welcome all to join us there, as while The Outpost will remain online for now, it will eventually be decommissioned (we’ll do our best to provide a heads up in advance). See our announcement post over at The BitForged Space for more details!. In the mean time, registrations at The Outpost has been closed, and the creation of new communities has been disabled.

Site Guidelines

While there is no specific “category” of content that you must adhere to (we are a generalized community), at the end of the day we do ask that whatever you post (whether an actual post or comment) be done in good faith to treat others with respect. This in theory should come down to common sense for the most part, however a good set of starting guidelines would be to abstain from the following:

• You should not direct hate towards a specific person, or a specific group based off their identity, attributes, or ideologies.

• You should not post anything that is illegal in “a fair amount of jurisdictions”.

• You should not post content that only serves to be sexually explicit / pornographic in nature. This is not to say that something you link to cannot contain any explicit material, but its sole purpose should not be just to be explicit and should be appropriately marked as NSFW.

• When posting to other remote communities, you must adhere to the rules and guidelines of the remote community.

• You must also follow the guidelines of any local communities, which are set by that community’s moderators. However, a community may not “overwrite” the rules of the overall site.

• People often have differing opinions over various subjects, which is understandable - someone having such a differing opinion does not give you an excuse to attack them.

• Site Admins have the final say on whether content meets these qualifications. Should any content that you post be deemed as not meeting these qualifications, it will be removed and you’ll be asked to refrain from posting content of that type again. In extreme cases (such as where it is determined that your account was only created to cause disruption for others) you might be served with a final warning, to then be followed up by a ban.

Essentially, think of someone you’ve just met on say a bus - if you wouldn’t (and expect that most people wouldn’t) show that stranger something or treat them a certain way, then you probably shouldn’t do so here either. In general, you should look towards following the Code of Conduct of the official Lemmy project.

Service status can be found over at https://status.zeuslink.net

If you have any questions about these guidelines, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Site Admins listed at the bottom of this sidebar.

I can also directly be reached on Matrix.
