Before signing up please read the full set of principles, rules and guidelines

We stand for climate justice, which includes justice for all marginalized people as well as other living beings and we stand against discrimination and exploitation.
We are allies to disabled people, queer and lgbtqia* people, BIPoC, women, poor people, kids and future generations as well as other vulnerable groups including animals, plants and all living beings. We might be critical to religion in general, but stand up against antisemitism, islamomisia and other forms of discrimination due to religious background. We acknowledge our own privileges and work on our own unintentionally discriminatory behaviors. We are all part of an exploitative system and it's impossible to live within that system without harming anyone. We are aware of that and try to work against it, but we are not all fossil free and vegan and that's okay. We don't exclusively post about climate justice, but at least some of our posts should be about climate justice.
-
We consider ourselves on the left side of the political spectrum and stand up against right wing ideologies.
We have different political views, but are all on the left side or at least are left-open, but right-closed centrists. We stand together against capitalism and fascism and even if we disagree on important issues we don't loose sight of our common goals.
-
We believe the Fediverse should be a place for respectful discourse and we stand against harassment, trolling and spam.
Everybody's boundaries are to be respected.
-
We stand up for peace and against violence, oppression and authoritarianism.
We are pacifists, but acknowledge that when attacked, people have the right to defend themselves following international law. We may be critical of states in general, but we never deny any country their statehood. We condemn violence against innocent people and always show solidarity with victims of violence. We don't promote violence in protest, but peaceful sabotage against oppressors is not violence.
-
We stand behind the science and against fake-news & propaganda.
We are not all scientists ourselves and experts in every field we post about, but we try not to spread any false information. If possible we provide reliable sources. We don't spread unverified rumors.
-
Also, we stick to Austrian and EU law and we don't post pornography.
-
We try to follow the following guidelines
If you can, please provide media descriptions if you post images or videos. There is a "caption" field available for that once you add media to a post you create. If you can't (atm) write a caption for whatever reason, that is okay - nobody should force or shame you. But if possible then please add the hashtag #AltForMe so someone else may write a caption for your media.
Please try to use CamelCase in your hashtags to make them more readable (also for screenreaders). Camel Case means you capitalize each first letter of a word when the hashtag consists of more than one word (or a not very common compound word).
Try not to overdo it with emojis, as they are each read out loud by screenreaders and that can be really annoying to hear, especially since some emojis are represented by a lot of text.
Please try to use the content warning (CW) feature when you write about something that might upset someone. We don't provide any rules as to what type of content should be hidden behind a CW, but try to think for yourself.
Please also hide media that might be upsetting as "sensitive".
If there is any way, please try to avoid linking to websites that violate visitors' privacy. Sometimes you'll find the same content you want to link to on a privacy respecting website or there is a proxy/mirroring service or archive available. If you can't find an alternative please make sure you don't post a shortened url, so people know what they click on.
