About

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Reaired (Re-Aired) is a social media instance connected to the “Fediverse” designed for content creators, broadcasters, on-screen talent and those behind the scenes making things happen.

The name is an attempted pun on “airing” broadcast content, and also “airing” your thoughts to others. As you can interact with others and share their posts too, you are “re-airing” their thoughts.

Certain users may have roles assigned to them confirming that Reaired staff believe the user to be who they say they are (similar to “verification”) and not an impersonator. Note that due to the way posts are federated between instances this is only applicable to accounts on Reaired itself, and users from other instances could still attempt to impersonate others.

All discussion is welcome, your posts and content do not have to be related to content creation or broadcasting! You are free to post your own personal thoughts and comments, so long as they are not considered Offensive Content.

Links to other sites and profiles can be added to your account, and if those pages have a link back to your Reaired profile a green Checkmark will be shown next to the link to confirm a connection between the two of them. This can be used to further strengthen trust in your identity.

Blocked Instances

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

To protect users and the platform, certain instances will be blocked from federating with Reaired. For transparency, these are made available publically.

Note that detailed reasons for defederating an instance will not be provided publically, but will be retained by the Reaired team.

We may choose to import certain blocks from the wider community for especially well-known abusive instances. These may be appealed on a case-by-case basis.

All blocks: blocked-instances.txt
Imported: blocked-imported.txt
Custom: blocked-custom.txt

Offensive Content

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This is not intended as a complete list of content that should not be shared on the Reaired platform, but a minimum set of guidance.

Admins have the final decision on what is considered Offensive or not, and appropriate action will be taken depending on the severity and potential repeat offences.

Not Allowed

Anything considered illegal in your local jurisdiction
Anything considered illegal under EU law
Hardcore Pornography / Adult Content
Hate Speech
Harassment
Spam
Malicious or misleading content (i.e. malware, false redirects)

Specific Allowances

Tasteful/artistic nudity (such as on Album covers or shown at an art gallery/museum)

Terms / Rules

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

These terms are not fully encompassing and do not necessarily make up all of the applicable rules/policies for moderation and governance of the Reaired platform. They are, however, a minimum standard that is expected to be upheld by users.

Additionally, there are some important notes that should be clearly understood by all users of the platform.

Reaired is part of the “Fediverse” meaning you can interact with users on other instances, as well as those on Reaired
Your account is only valid on Reaired itself, not when visiting other instances directly
Other instances will contain their own content, moderated by their own admins, but can be shown on Reaired
Content when posted will be transferred to other instances to enable their users to see and interact with it
Federation with other instances may change at any time
Content from other instances can be reported to Reaired admins. We have some ability to restrict it’s visibility or take further action
The block button and keyword muting are useful tools

Minimum Rules

Do not send messages considered “spam” or containing malicious content
Do not harass or abuse other users
- Consider your tone in writing
- Remember that offense is determined by the receiver, no matter your intention
Do not share illegal content
Do not impersonate another user or company
Report any inappropriate content and do not otherwise interact
Do not advertise excessively
- Posting that you are available for work is OK
- Occasional sponsored posts are OK
- As a general rule; if over 50% of your posts are advertising, it’s too much
- Brands are considered separately, as self-promotion/news of the brand
Generally Be Nice
Do not post Offensive Content

Federation Notes

Reaired generally maintains an open federation policy. By default, we will federate with any other ActivityPub-compliant service. In the event of an abusive instance - either technically or from Offensive Content - we may choose not to federate with certain services.

In the event of defederation with an instance we will:

Post a message via the Reaired account
Post an announcement if this impacts a significant number of users
Update our public Blocked Instances list

Defederation will always be considered a “last resort” to protect our users from particularly abusive instances.

Major Reminder

Once content has been posted on the platform, it is very difficult to ensure it has been removed entirely. Posts are transmitted to other instances moments after being posted, and can be retained by those other instances however they wish.

Deleting content on Reaired will remove it from Reaired itself and will request other instances to remove it, however there is no guarantee that an outside instance will honour this.

Similarly, if content is removed after a search engine or archive service has retained a copy, it may be impossible to remove those copies.

Always assume anything you post anywhere on the internet may be around forever
