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.

Cannot even finish grieving one mass shooting before another happens. #news

Reminder to all the new folks who have joined us over the past week: please make sure if you are tooting links regarding, or have commentary on AusPol, elections, political parties and your views on them, electoral politics, or geo politics you are required to use the CW feature on those toots.

We understand that for some people this is a new idea so we will not be going back in time to punish folks.

Whether you use the browser or one of the many apps, that feature exists whenever the text box is up. It will not hide your toots from peoples feeds, it will simply act as a subject line to allow people to opt in.

This is a request to make our lives as volunteers easier, but don’t mistake that for being optional, bad actors will be removed.

Please refer to the Aus Social code of conduct before asking questions https://aus.social/about (but otherwise feel free to ask questions)

Big thanks from the Aus Social mod team - H
