Server rules

Below is a summary of rules you need to follow if you want to have an account on this server of Mastodon:

1. Since this is a positivity and destigmatization space, no intolerant attitudes to other identities are allowed. As long as everyone lives safe, non-offending lives, they are welcome.
2. Respect privacy and boundaries of other members. Disclosing personal information shared here to non-members isn't allowed, if you have a problem with another member, take it to the mods.
3. Posting NSFW images is not allowed. NSFW topics can be discussed (jokes, educational questions, etc). The requirements are that the post is impersonal (no suggestive conversations between members, no explicit fantasies), content warnings are added, and the post setting are set to "followers only".
4. Do not approach chronological children and young teens with relationship intentions, on site or offsite, and do not accept their advances, unless you are their chronological peer. But if you're struggling with your behavior and realize you need help, it's safe to reach out, and we'll do our best.
5. If you are a chronological young teenager, do not use this site to approach chronological adults or way older teenagers with relationship intentions.
6. Don't post, solicit, or advertise child sexual abuse images. Also, don't post non-abusive and casual images of real life children, even if that's your own childhood photos.
7. Arguing between members on map contact discourse isn't allowed. While people with diverse views are welcome, all debates should occur on Element (ask Lecter for an invite). View a more detailed guide here: https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/vZ1lTdRpU7QukGjRPBqEwtm7w9fto8dNSOF9Mfds+J0/
8. Do not encourage individuals or groups to commit suicide or claim that certain people or groups of people deserve to die. An exception will be made for clear vents about oppressors and good-natured joking with friends.

NNIA stands for Non Normative Identities Alliance, a group for marginalized and stigmatized demographics. The purpose of the movement is promotion of health and support for these people, public awareness in absence of shame and thought policing.

NNIA was introduced as a concept on MAP twitter in 2019, as an attempt to find a common ground between the MAP community, the other paraphiliacs, queer people who don't want to discriminate against others, mentally ill people. We all have to live being stereotyped as predatory and less than human, and it's time to unite and make our voices heard.

The primary purpose of NNIA as a server is to connect people of marginalized identities who are under threat of silencing and erasure on mainstream social media and give them a space to talk and a feeling of stability. This is not a discussion platform between paraphiliacs and antis. However, polite and rational questions from occasional viewers are welcome.

Application rules:

- introduce yourself;

- explain why you're interested in us.

Blank applications and unspecific applications (“I want to check it out”, “I want to meet people”) will be rejected. This is a site for minorities and supporters of minorities, so please, indicate that you understand it and want to be a part of it.

Things you need to know:

1. Mastodon is a network of servers, each with its own staff, that permits anyone from any server to interact with anyone from any other server. This server is ours. But you can go chat with people from elsewhere.

2. You are going to have 3 timelines. Home timeline will give you everyone you follow, Local will show everyone from NNIA whether you follow them or no (but only original posts, no replies), Federated will give you all content our members interact with, from any Mastodon server.

3. You can regulate the degree of privacy of your posts. The globe icon that appears below the text as you write indicates public posting. You can change it by clicking on it.

4. We as admins have access to everyone’s emails, and we’re not going to abuse this knowledge, but we recommend getting separate mails for map activities anyway. We no longer log IPs, but a VPN, such as Proton VPN, or Betternet, is still recommended.

5. There are Mastodon mobile apps. Tusky for Android and Tootle for Apple are the most popular ones.

6. The mod group watches members of other servers that interact with us. In case of any dangerous behavior (attempts to solicit illegal materials, doxxing threats, aggressive bigotry), their accounts will be banned from interacting with this server.
