Our Promise to You

We follow the Mastodon Server Covenant, which means:

• Active moderation - Reports handled within 48 hours, usually faster
• Transparent operations - All configs, blocklist changes, and tools are public on GitHub
• No sudden shutdowns - We're committed to giving 3 months notice if anything changes

What You Get Here

1500 character posts - Because sometimes 500 characters isn't enough to actually say something

Full-text search - Find your old posts and conversations without endless scrolling

Glitch-soc features - Quality-of-life improvements that make Mastodon actually enjoyable

Tor access available - onion address for when you need that extra privacy layer

Hypebot integration - Our custom tool brings trending posts from larger instances here, scored by hashtag relevance so you don't miss what's happening

Privacy & Funding

• No ads, no tracking, no data sales
• EU-hosted on Hetzner Cloud infrastructure
• ~€40/month funded entirely by Ko-fi donations
• You're the user, not the product

How We Operate

Open infrastructure - Everything lives at github.com/goingdark-social

Regular blocklist reviews - Monthly audits with all changes documented publicly

Community-funded - Support at ko-fi.com/goingdark

Beyond Mastodon

We also run: * CryptPad - cryptpad.goingdark.social for collaborative editing * Wiki - wiki.goingdark.social for community knowledge * Status page - status.goingdark.social for uptime transparency
