If a majority of users vote 'yay' an invite will be extended to the nomiated user. @Ambassador will work with the user to get registered and setup.

As a general rule this instance follows the instance list published by compassion.online at https://compassion.online/the_list

The list is comprehensive and we use it as a baseline for blocks, silences and media rejections. We also encourage our users to report instances via the form on the compassion list page.

Please reach out to @Ambassador if you would like to discuss any blocks/silences/media rejections further. The door is always open.

Given this instance is something of a 'Quiet place in the woods' for users. We politely ask that you do not tag our users in #FollowFriday posts. If you're not sure, don't tag our users is a good rule of thumb. Some of our users have even gone so far as to add #NoFF to their profiles to be very clear they don't want to be tagged.

We respectfully ask that you honor this policy when it comes to #FollowFriday.

If you run a federation bot or a follow bot. Please prevent it from indexing thequietplace.social users.

We are here because it is an escape from the normal bustle of larger instances. We'd prefer to stay out of the limelight and out of timelines unless explicitly followed by individuals.

Hello!

We are a very small in the woods for those riding out the noise of the federverse.

Sometimes it's best to kick back, relax and take some time off the main timelines.

#Introductions

[email protected] has been suspended on this instance.

They have been pestering @kemonine w/ follow requests and the majority of our users voted for a suspension/silence.

We can re-visit opening them back up in the future but for now... you should no longer be hassled by them.

As always : please reach out to this account if you ever have questions/concerns/etc. The admin team is here for you.

If an account is locked and a user denies your follow request(s)...

STOP ASKING!

They said NO, back down and move on.

Be kind, polite and realize that some people have accounts that are tightly controlled when it comes to followers and interactions.

THAT'S INTENTIONAL!

Not everyone wants a large footprint on 'the socials'.

Respect that fact. Don't pester people with follow requests.

Voting time.

[email protected] has been pestering @kemonine for a bit with follow requests.

Looking over the profile... looks like they follow 2.36k accounts, have 15.8k followers and only 470 toots.

Any problems with an instance wide suspension/silence?

c/ @PinkCathodeCat @LensaMoon

I do exist and read the local time line.

If you need anything, please reach out.

I'm here to help.

We were approved by awoo.space today 😁

This is a great breakdown of what it's like to be an admin

h/t @hollyjahangiri for bringing the article to my attention

The compassion.online 'The List' has been updated to include baraag.net where loli and graphic violence depictions are expressly allowed.

We've followed the published guidance and have setup remote media rejection for the instance. We have NOT silenced the instance, simply rejected media.
