I posted a bit ago on a different account, and yeah here we are. I actually set it up!

Federation Policy

There are some instances that have been initially defederated from, most of which are just are either toxic or host illegal content across the fediverse. Defederation will only be reserved for spaces that present consistent moderation problems, host illegal content, or are hate filled. Whenever a defederation is considered a post will be made to discuss and gather community input.

Instance Management

So, same deal as over on literature.cafe. If this instance ever needs to go down, I will give at least a 30 day warning prior and make a good faith attempt to keep the instance online as well as be transparent as to why a shutdown is being considered. A financial statement will be posted monthly. This instance will likely cost more than literature.cafe long term, so if you are planning on joining and are able to donate it is greatly appreciated. I also take daily secure backups.

I am attempting to find at least one extra admin for the instance as well, but I at least plan on having a backup "break the glass" admin account like I do have on literature.cafe

Community Creation

Community creation is currently disabled and is only for admins. This may be reconsidered in the future, but if you want a new community to be made please go to [email protected] and request there. For those on other instances who want to view a current list of communities go to [email protected]

Right now due email functionality on the instance is busted due to the host blocking the ports temporarily until the first invoice is generated for the instance. So, remember your password if you sign up for the time being or just ask to have your password reset if you forget it.

Nineteen Bob Brown Foundation forest defenders are in Tasmania's Florentine Valley this morning, protecting the tallest flowering trees on Earth which continue to be destroyed by logging.

This valley full of giant eucalypts has been the site of ongoing protests recently as shocking footage emerged of gigantic trees being hauled out of this ancient forest.

One protester is in a treesit high above the forest floor with another locked onto logging machinery.

"It is criminal behaviour to harvest this forest. If anyone tells you that native forest logging sequesters carbon, please think about that for a moment. Clear felling massive trees and burning the soil, it will take centuries for the forest to re-capture that carbon," said treesitter Aden Wachtel, a 33-year-old gardener.

"Our biodiversity is precious, and all our lives are on the line. That's why I'm climbing up into a tree sit to defend this forest," Mr Wachtel said.

If you disagree you love capitalism and imperialism
