<sup>1</sup></li>

</li>

<li>Avoid uploading personal files (i.e. anything with personal information) to the Drive. The <strong>admin</strong> has access to every uploaded file on the server, and will start administrative procedures if content violating these <strong>Rules and Guidelines</strong> is found.</li>

<p>The <strong>admin</strong> reserves the right to change the <strong>Rules and Guidelines</strong> in order to cater a broader audience in a safe, non-compromising way.</p>
<sub>1</sub><em>While this instance is hosted in Finland and the media files are located in an object storage bucket in Japan, most of the internet revolves aroung the US because fuck it.</em><br>
<sub>2</sub><em>Don’t try to get funny with this one.</em><br>
<sub>4</sub><em>AI-generated and or traced images can be posted, as long as they don’t blatantly go beyond uncanny valley territory or violate point (3.4).</em><br>
<p>While open to federation, this instance and its <strong>admin</strong> reserve the right to block or defederate from any instance or service that might represent a potential liability or threat. The following lists contains such instances and the reason for their block/suspension/defederation.</p>
<li>Instances known to host either CSAM/CSEM/CP or content promoting and/or discussing paraphilias egregious in nature. (NOTE: instances in <em>italics</em> have mutual block/suspension status with *.cachapa.xyz)</li>
<li>Instances known to host bad-faith actors or services that promote spam, DDoS attacks, mass surveillance, datamining, data harvesting or ZOG faggotry.</li>
<p>The <strong>admin</strong> reserves the right to modify federation with the blocked instances. Aditionally, the <strong>admin</strong> reserves the right to defederate individual users on remote instances that are proven to be bad-faith actors.</p>
<p>Any user who gets reported, be them local or from a remote instance, will be moderated according to the severity of the report and the instance rules.</p>

</ul>
<p><em>NOTE: any of these scheduled actions can be executed at any time, at the discretion of the <strong>admin</strong>.</em></p>
<p>Beware that by removing the remote cache files, storage space can be reclaimed, but also cached media like user avatars or thumbnails will be missing. It’s a bug in Misskey, but there’s nothing to be done (for now) since it’s technical wachamacallit the developers should actually fix.</p>
<p>If there’s a need to engage in extensive maintenance, it’ll be announced to the regular channel (an announcement on the instance, d’uh). If the instance goes poof for whatever reason for an extended period of time during the maintenance period, please send a message to any of the addresses in the <strong>Contact</strong> section.</p>
