TERMS OF SERVICE / CODE OF CONDUCT / PRIVACY
--------------------------------------------
LURK is used by several communities coming from a variety of cultural, ethnic
and professional backgrounds. We strive for LURK to be welcoming to people of
these various backgrounds and provide a non-toxic and harassment-free
environment. This document is our iterative 3-in-1 Code of Conduct, Terms of
Services and Privacy Statement.
By using LURK services you agree to the following:
///
* Be respectful towards others. This means that we will not tolerate
homophobic, transphobic, racist, ableist and sexist slurs and content, even
if intended as a joke, or as an ironic remark. That also includes demeaning,
belittling or otherwise verbally intimidating communication. In short, any
attitudes that may promote the oppression and/or exclusion of historically
marginalized groups will not be accepted. Users who violate this rule may get
warned once, or banned right away from using our services if their action
were clearly ill-intended.
* We talk to and with people rather than about people and/or groups. That means
no subtoots, unwelcome, or otherwise toxic comments regarding a person’s
lifestyle choices and practices, antagonizing and incendiary generalizations,
flaming or edgy remarks at the expense of someone or another community. We
understand and appreciate that for some, social media has became a place to
vent and dump their frustrations. While we welcome sarcasm, critique and the
need to seek support and alliances while expressing defeating feelings, our
services, as well as its local and remote users, are not meant to be your
personal punching ball. There is however a place for everything, and the
place for that is Twitter. Users who violate this rule will get warned once,
and then banned from using our services.
* Absolutely no harassment, stalking or disclosure of others’ personal details
(doxing). Users which violate this rule will be unconditionally banned.
* Similarly, refusing to disengage during an escalating argument, or spamming
users with private messages is a form of harassment. Users who violate this
rule will get warned once, and then banned from using our services.
* Hate speech, such as, but not limited to: white supremacy, ethnostate
advocacy, discussion of national socialism / nazism will not be tolerated.
Users who violate this rule will be unconditionally banned.
* Mass-advertising content is prohibited. However we encourage you to share
calls for projects/papers, new project announcements of yours, upcoming
events and tasteful reminders to your followers of things like Patreon or
websites where they can purchase/support your work.
* Media containing sexualized depictions of children (including lolicon) are
not allowed. Users who violate this rule will be unconditionally banned.
///
If you have trouble with a local or remote user, on any of LURK services,
violating these rules, contact the relevant admin and moderators of the
service. Do not hesitate to reach out to the moderators, and do not feel feel
like you're being a nuisance when you do, on the contrary!
///
By using our services you agree that a minimal amount of information about your
connection (IP address) will be kept for debugging and maintenance purposes.
You are welcome to use a VPN or Tor to connect to our services though. We do
not actively store or archive this information beyond the default rotation time
of the software we use. We welcome suggestions and practical information to
limit data retention to a minimum! Contact us if you have good experience with
that. Some of our services use cookies for remembering settings and
preferences. We don't track our users, nor do we use analytical software
(third-party or self-hosted).
