Hi everyone at BSD Cafe,
I’d like to start by thanking everyone for being part of this community - your presence and support truly mean a lot!
This message will appear across all my BSD Cafe social accounts, as I’d like to make sure it reaches everyone. Apologies for the duplication, but I genuinely believe it’s important.
Lately, there have been some discussions and questions surrounding content moderation on our instance, and I wanted to take a moment to offer some clarity and reaffirm the spirit of our community.
As you know, BSD Cafe was founded as a space primarily focused on technology, with a special place for *BSD and open source. More importantly, though, I want it to be a positive, welcoming, and constructive place for everyone. Our community guidelines, especially principles like "Promote Positivity" and "Be Kind", are central to this vision.
I've seen questions arise, sometimes involving accusations of political censorship from different perspectives, regarding why certain posts might be moderated. I want to be very clear on this: My moderation approach focuses primarily on the tone and manner of communication, not the specific topic itself.
I don't intervene simply because a post discusses politics, a particular tech company, or any potentially divisive subject. I do step in when a post, regardless of the topic or the viewpoint being expressed, adopts a tone that is:
* Provocative or intentionally confrontational.
* Aggressive or disrespectful towards other users or groups.
* Overly negative without constructive intent.
* Contrary to our core principles of kindness and mutual respect.
This standard applies equally to everyone and every "side". If someone were to post something like "Users of X software are idiots", I would address that just as readily as any other topic presented in a hostile way, even if I personally dislike software X.
The goal isn't to "censor" opinions, but to preserve an environment where discussions, even critical ones, can happen civilly and respectfully, without descending into flame wars or personal attacks. We aim to be a space that is pro-constructive dialogue and pro-positivity, not anti-anyone.
BSD Cafe is our shared digital home. Let's continue working together to keep it a pleasant and rewarding place where we can share ideas, learn, and connect over our shared passions (tech and beyond!), feeling comfortable and respected.
Thank you sincerely for your understanding and for everything you contribute to making BSD Cafe a special community!
Let's keep building this positive space together.

At the #EndOfPrideMonth I posed the #Question; should we have #AnotherPrideMonth...
#TheToot was #Deleted for #Breaching our #CommunityGuidelines, for which I unreservedly apologise. The #Toot contained an image of a man bending over with a #Rainbow emerging from his butt...
The #Image in #Question has been sat on #Tumblr since 2017 without incident.

The main Fediverse platforms offer various protection tools: Mute and Block. For example, on Mastodon, the mute function can be set for a specific period of time. Mute means you won't see that person's posts, but you'll still be notified if they mention or tag you. A Block, on the other hand, means you don't want to see anything related to that person anymore. It's a much more radical action, useful if that person is disrupting your experience, offending you, or displaying any other serious behavior. In such cases, it’s important to file a report so administrators can take action and learn more about the user.
Sometimes I see advice to block immediately anyone posting content you don't want to see. In my opinion, if the content is simply not of interest to you, a mute is enough, while a block is more appropriate for people displaying clearly negative behavior.
Many platforms also offer filters: you can choose which words or hashtags you don't want to see and, accordingly, hide them. Filters can help personalize and improve your overall social experience.

Twitch is revamping its community guidelines enforcement—strikes for certain offenses will now depreciate over time, and users will receive clearer information about their strikes. A step towards a fairer community! 🎮⚖️ #Twitch #CommunityGuidelines #GamingNews #FairPlay

Gee I wonder if #tiktok updating their #communityGuidelines means they'll finally deviate from every single mainstream social media platform and US legislation that categorizes "female nipples" as "sexually explicit nudity" but not "male nipples"?
Excuse me for a sec *deep breath* HAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAAHHA yeah right 🙃

TikTok has announced the removal of more than 18.5 million videos in Pakistan during the last three months of 2023, as part of its efforts to combat violations of community guidelines. The platform emphasized its dedication to fostering a safe online environment and preventing the proliferation of spam accounts.

Remember two weeks ago when Patreon updated their Community Guidelines? After twelve days, Patreon got back to me with a non-response.
Have you or a creator you support been impacted? Reply or comment over at my blog! I want to hear from you.

Question for the fediverse:
When you come across content/behaviors *you* dislike on the social web, what do you believe are the most effective and fair methods for responding?
How can you or other users express concerns while respecting both community guidelines AND foster constructive dialogue?

A variation on the #webcomic page I've drawn before, focused especially on #twitch for recently finally allowing "nonsexual nude art" only to reverse the decision 24 hours later "because their AI #censorship bots can't tell the difference between photography and realistic paintings". (and somehow the exact same pose and composition stops being porn the second it's slightly less than photorealistic, even if it's just painted by a really, really good artist). And as we all know, Twitch rules being designed by #patriarchy - worshipping tech bros like all mainstream #socialMedia are, "nudity" includes "female looking nipples" but not "male looking nipples" 🙃
Still waiting for the day that enough people call out this insanely blatant #sexism and #misogyny enough to force these platforms to think they'll make more money off #toplessEquality than their current #doubleStandards (see how they've been shilling under the guise of supporting #lgbt / #lgbtq / #queer equality for the last decade, especially during Pride month... Except in red states, of course). It's so blatantly sexist, yet so few people even notice it? How do I wake more people up??

All people on #instagram are complaining or whining about their now even stricter community guidelines, but no one even tries to use different platforms ... this is a bit weird.
