In the interests of transparency around how this instance is intended to be run, and so that prospective users can make an informed decision before joining, this post will serve as a living document briefly outlining policies and information about Leminal Space.
Geographic location
The server resides in a data centre on the US east coast. This was chosen because it is intended for this instance be a general, international one, and the fact that most countries have a relatively fast and fat pipe connecting them to the US made this a practical choice. That said, cached content will be served to you via the nearest global Cloudflare server.
Defederation policy
We will actively and pre-emptively defederate from predominantly fascist, far-right and alt-right (or troll) instances.
To reduce the likelihood of legal issues, we do not federate with porn/NFSW instances and suggest you use an alt-account if you wish to interact with those.
We do not and will not federate with Threads or any other Meta entity.
Either leave a comment below or post a thread to /c/leminalspacemeta if there is an instance you believe should be considered for defederation in line with the above policy.
We will remain federated with all leftist instances (yes, even the sh*tposting ones).
Word filter policy
We do not implement any word filters.
We aren’t federated with them. You can see the current block list at the bottom of the Instances page (link in the footer).
Ah my bad I’m using Jerboa so it’s a bit harder to find. I know there’s external sites as well that map out which instances are federated with each other but just wanted to check
