These are set and enforced by the catcatnya.com moderators.
-
Discrimination, especially against marginalized folks and groups, is forbidden. This includes, but is not limited to:
Racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, and other queerphobia, gatekeeping the "queer" status, classism/casteism, ableism, anti-semitism.
-
Any content illegal in Austria will be removed. We want this site to stay online, and as such, we have to follow applicable laws. We will not follow any other (therefore non-applicable) laws, however, as we aren't legally required to do so.
-
Don't use right-wing dogwhistles. This includes certain popular meme formats, such as the Wojak (including its related NPC meme) and Pepe the Frog.
This point will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but at the very least, we will attempt to educate in case of unintentional usage.
-
Corporate advertisement is forbidden. Fund raisers, mutual aid, artists doing commissions, or individuals advertising their services are fine. That's because they aren't soulless businesses and corporations. Those we will suspend (remote ones too).
-
You must use content warnings for content. This includes obvious topics such as gore, sexual content, assault, mental health issues, but also less obvious ones like food, selfies, media with eye contact to the viewer, etc.
-
Posting media without media descriptions, also known as alt text, is strongly discouraged. If you're unable to think of alt text for an image, please ask a third party (or us via DMs!) to help you with alt text.
Constantly ignoring the need for alt text counts towards rule 1.
-
Sharing private information for no good reason (for petty reasons or over non-severe wrongdoings) is forbidden. This includes doing that outside of our instance, as this type of behaviour is great at disrupting safe spaces.
