                <text>Mastodon came online in October 2016. It's a microblog, replicating many features of Twitter, with short posts and follower/followed relationships. Its major distinction from Twitter is that it is federated, meaning it has no central server, but rather a collection of servers run by volunteers. Each server administrator can set rules for accessing and using her server. Mastodon is a modification of GNU social software, which is the underlying software of other federated microblogs, such as the Independent Microblogging Service.</text>

social.targaryen.house is one of several mastodon instances in the fediverse. It aims to be an&#13;
alternative choice, and it will federate with other instances. Fire and Blood!&#13;

Goal of this instance&#13;
This is a generalist instance. Either you like Game of Thrones or not, either you support the&#13;
house Targaryen or not, you will always be welcome. This instance was made because the guy&#13;
behind believes we can make the Internet better by decentralising. I use a strong TLS&#13;
configuration and all best practices that I'm aware of to make this instance secure.&#13;
I want this instance to be welcoming, and to provide a friendly experience. That's why I will&#13;
close registrations once we have reached a reasonable amount of users. This instance is up and&#13;
running since the 1st April 2017.&#13;
Update policy&#13;
For your information, this instance is using its own fork of Mastodon available on Github :&#13;
Wonderfall/mastodon-targaryen. Don't panic, it's still Mastodon, but as you can see it's...&#13;
tweaked, so the look can be a real immersion into the Targaryen house. There are other&#13;
tweaks, like the responsive columns (at the moment, it's not in Mastodon). I'm also fetching the&#13;
master branch from the official Mastodon repository. It means we benefit from the latest&#13;
features, but at the risk of rollbacks (hence a little downtime, though I do my best if something&#13;
goes wrong). Don't say I didn't warn you.&#13;
What rules?&#13;
First, keep in mind the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (1789). Since the&#13;
server is hosted in Germany, you must also respect the Law of Germany. Any (commented)&#13;
report is reviewed and the content can be moderated, but every user is encouraged to use the&#13;
block and mute functions.Be respectful, be human. Honour the House Targaryen.&#13;
Some explicit rules to keep the instance pleasant :&#13;
Use NSFW for pornography content.&#13;
Use CW for (harming) spoilers.&#13;
Excessive harassment is not tolerated.&#13;
Spam on public timelines must be avoided.&#13;
Freedom of speech is a human right. These rules won't restrict in any way your way of thinking.&#13;
In fact, you can post everything which injures no one else (article 4 - DRMC 1789). Moderation&#13;
will even tolerate such things as posts about drugs and hacking (in every sense).&#13;
Since it would be ironic to have a severe censorship policy, we won't block entire instances&#13;
(except in specific cases). Perhaps some can be silenced, and if that happens, the silence list on&#13;
Github will be updated (here). Note that accounts won't be silenced or suspended unless&#13;
there's a very good reason, or if there's too much recidivism. Bot accounts can be silenced if&#13;
there are too much complains about them.&#13;
Recommended accounts and bots&#13;
Every user is advised to follow these accounts :&#13;
Wonderfall : the admin of this instance (info, support)&#13;
Khalkount : a usercount bot for this instance&#13;
Drogon : a multifunction low-IQ bot (server stats)&#13;
Khaleesi : the Queen&#13;
By the way : if you intend to run your own bot on this instance, you should tell us first. We&#13;
won't be mad at you, but we have to know what's going on this instance, especially if your bot&#13;
is flooding the timeline. Thanks!&#13;
What's behind?&#13;
This instance is hosted on a Hetzner dedicated server located in Germany (EU). It has the&#13;
following specs :&#13;
CPU : Intel Xeon E3-1271v3&#13;
RAM : 32GB (4*4) DDR3 ECC&#13;
HDD : 2*4TB (RAID)&#13;
OS : Debian 9 Stretch - Linux 4.10&#13;
Bandwidth : 1 Gbit/sEncrypted backups of Mastodon are made daily. This dedicated server is hosting other services&#13;
but they shouldn't interfere. On top of that, I tuned Mastodon so it can be incredibly fast.&#13;
Who can I blame?&#13;
@wonderfall (FR/EN) maintains the server and is the main administrator of this instance. If you&#13;
encounter any problems, send him some mail, or send him a private toot. There's no service&#13;
guarantee, I'm admin on my free time...&#13;
How to donate?&#13;
Litecoin : LTEHhMW6XUupZKVbJBtXKDNnVMogYiVynK&#13;
Bitcoin : 3Pak9gkiU4R7K9qeHYySFyueRRCRuioXsN&#13;
Liberapay : donate recurrently!&#13;
Patreon : become a patron!&#13;
To guarantee the longevity of this instance, every single donation is useful. If you made a&#13;
donation, don't hesitate to tell me : I can make you a free Nextcloud account. Anyway, I would&#13;
be immensely grateful.</text>
