Aus Social Mods (@[email protected])

Hey y’all in AusSocial land, we have a new change in instance policy. The rule around CW of party and geo political content will be updated. CW is still a great option, and allows for more descriptive posting, but new updates to Mastodon 4 allow new opportunities. As of today, if you are posting about such topics you are only required to use appropriate hashtags such as #AusPol, this will allow people to filter out such things if they choose to, with the new option in settings people can choose to put an auto-warning on them. If you can’t hashtag appropriately you require a CW. We hope this makes aus.social a better place for all users as we grow - all other rules and the code of conduct remains in place.
