We did not have a privacy policy, which was an oversight on our part. That's been fixed; it's now at https://bigshoulders.city/terms, and is basically identical to the mastodon.social privacy policy.
We're gonna be crystal clear here:
If your Code of Conduct doesn't specifically forbid harassment against protected classes, we are going to block your instance.
if your instance *does not have* a Code of Conduct, we are going to block your instance.
It appears a recent pleroma update has broken the links to terms and codes of conduct. Until admins resolve that we're going to assume the worst about your rules (or lack thereof).
Suspensions can be undone if there's reason to.
instance blocks
browsed the #fediblock hashtag and grabbed a bunch of instances we hadn't caught up to yet; future blocks will be added to this thread.

Hello! 
This account is for moderation and administrative announcements on bigshoulders.city. We're using masto.host for hosting, so we will follow their downtime and upgrade schedule. New domain blocks will be announced here, as will changes to the terms and code of conduct. 
This account is shutting down since it is no longer useful.
it's come to our attention that someone with an account on bigshoulders.city has been using their main account to textsearch posts to argue with on our timeline, including defending alt-right figures.
their local account has been silenced, and their primary instance blocked.
so-called "loli" content will be treated as indistinguishable from child pornography for the purposes of moderation.

going ahead and blocking any instance with a "windmill" (swastika) emoji.
a previously-unknown nazi instance boosted this post, so I'm adding more blocks as the replies to this account increase.

added anime.website for insufficient moderation. thanks for entering the mentions.
instance blocks context
I am really hoping for an improved blocklist sharing and management system in future versions of mastodon, even just a method by which to block multiple domains at once would be a godsend.
