A Word about CC’s Defederation Policy


This is being posted on the site information page so I can refer people to it in lieu of a FAQ. CyborgCentral's Mastodon server will not federate with any fediverse server that operates solely for the purpose of promoting political party propaganda. There is no difference between right wing or left wing sources in this […]
