Welcome to our new arrivals - we hope you will enjoy your stay.

Note that our rules and Code of Conduct apply to all our users. This means that some of you may need to get used to a slightly different culture than what you were used to on Twitter and other Mastodon instances which operate differently from us.

We would like to remind everyone of our CW (Content Warning/"Content Wrapper") requirements - here is part of the text from https://aus.social/about

ℹ️ Expected CWs and Hashtags

Everybody on Aus.Social must use Content Warnings (CWs) and hashtags for the following topics:

- Politics, including party politics, electoral politics, geopolitic, elections and general governmental drama: Please use a AusPol CW and/or #AusPol Hashtag. Same with #USPol/#UKPol/#GeoPol etc
- Adult Content including Nudes / Lewds / NSFW posts: Please use a CW (and any suitable hashtags)
- Advertising of products/brands (CW): Please use a CW (and any suitable hashtags)
- Depictions of violence and gore (CW): Please use a CW (and any suitable hashtags)

ℹ️ Admin Note: CWs are not expected on posts made by historically and/or socially marginalised people about their own lived-experiences, though people may choose to do so.
