In response to inquiries from community members, we firmly state that cops are not welcome on Aus.Social.

We have built a space where socially marginalised peoples feel included, respected and safe. We do not extend that respect to people who work within State systems that racially profile, discriminate, and cause actual harm to people.

We support prison abolitionists and justice activism for deaths in custody.

If you work in law enforcement, please find another server or better yet, find a real job.

@AusSocialMods As a first responder (note: NOT in the police), all I would ask is can you please note that you discriminate against members based on employment status in the rules / about page, as currently you do not state anything at all about this and this post came as a complete shock to me. I agree with everything listed in the rules at: https://aus.social/about and there is absolutely nothing there to indicate that you are anti-emergency service personnel. It would be worth listing other professions you target as well while you are at it. I am all for moderating CONTENT, but moderating based on where people work is way over the line. Based on this post, I do not feel safe or welcome here and will be finding a new instance. Further, I will be recommending others avoid this server. Such clear disrespect for Australian society seems to have turned this instance into the exact opposite of what it claims to be.

@Quentin @AusSocialMods - the post is very clear that cops are not welcome here.

If you're not a cop, you're welcome.
