Code of conduct

We’re keen to make sure that Mathstodon is great for everyone, so we present a code of conduct for users of the instance, which we hope you will follow.

• Don’t do anything that’s illegal in the UK or EU.
• Aggression and elitism are unwelcome here - it’s not a competition. Don’t assume you know better than the person you’re talking to.
• We want to be inclusive; do not engage in exclusionary behaviour or language against anyone based on their race, gender (binary, assigned or otherwise), disability, mental health, sexual orientation, level of education or age.
• Don’t make exclusionary jokes. Don’t even make them “ironically”.
• Don’t harass people. Unconsented contact or sexual attention can constitute harassment, even if it wasn’t intended to cause upset.
• Dressing or acting in a certain way is not consent.

Users violating these rules may have their accounts suspended and will not be welcome to take part any more.

If you are subject to or observe any harassment, or have any other concerns, please report the toot concerned or message a moderator. Reports will be dealt with discreetly and in confidence.

Please be aware of your surroundings and the effect your words and actions have on the people around you. We want everyone to have a great time, and treat each other with respect.
