Weeaboo.space is an instance focused on general discussion, but often anime or tech. Any subject is allowed on this instance as long as you don't break any of the rules. We support people's freedom of expression and encourage discussions of any kind, not just anime-related, as the name might imply.
It's understandable that some other instances don't like this free-for-all nature. But if you must block, I urge you to block on a per-user level rather than the whole instance. That is better both for your users, and for the fediverse as a whole.
- Exiling/Threatening someone for their opinion. People have the right to say what they want as long as their actions don't break any other rules. If you don't like someone, you block them and call it a day.
- Nothing that's actually illegal according to Norwegian jurisdiction. Like child pornography or unironic bomb threats.
- Boosting untagged NSFW is not considered the same as posting untagged NSFW.
- "Somewhat recent movies, games[...]" is open to interpretation, but generally means anything that hasn't been very popular in 5-10 years. Of course, if you know that a person is playing a game, don't intentionally spoil them, that falls under "Don't be an asshole".
- Yes, you can use words like "nigger" or "weeb" as long as they're not intended as flat out insults. But if the person says they're uncomfortable with such words, stop writing them to the person in question.
- If someone finds your joke distasteful, you apologize and move on. If you keep writing similar distasteful jokes after the person tells you to stop, you are bullying/spamming, or being an asshole.
- We do not use instance-wide blocks except to combat spamhives. Each user is responsible for their own timeline. I am responsible for the local timeline. And the federated timeline is a free-for-all.
- Targeting someone for their opinion may be overruled where someone's opinion is central to the discussion at hand. e.g while discussing presidential elections, as their personalities is most of the discussion material. Or while drama arises on subjects such as the mental state of a school shooter. In other words: If a bunch of news sites around the world are already complaining about it, it's probably okay for you to complain too.
- No. We're not an "alt-right" instance. Free expression does not mean we're nazis. But it does mean people on this instance won't pretend that they agree with you. "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen"
