Some ground rules.

These are set and enforced by the turtleisland.social moderators.

  1. Read the entire 'About' page
    It is CRITICAL for new accounts to read the entire 'About' page (https://turtleisland.social/about) including the Rules sub-section there BEFORE applying for an account at TurtleIsland.social.
  2. Absolutely no anti-indigeneity, racism or bigotry
    We can not stress this enough - Absolutely no anti-indigeneity, racism, bigotry, anti-semitism, islamophobia, pro-genocide, pro-ethnic cleansing, pro-terrorism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. 95%+ of our issues fall in this category; we take this seriously.
  3. Promoting Indigenous art/products/businesses
    Promoting authentic Indigenous art, products and businesses is allowed and encouraged. Promoting fake, inspired, or appropriated products is not allowed. Non-Indigenous businesses masquerading as Indigenous owned are not allowed.
  4. We strongly support and encourage Mutual Aid
    Must use #IndigenousMutualAid, #SettlerSaturday or #MutualAid hashtags as appropriate. Requests for mutual aid must be on your original post. Requests cannot be made in unsolicited comments or private messages to other users. Posts cannot tag other users, especially bulk user lists. Inappropriate hashtag bombing is not allowed.
  5. List your Native/Indigenous Nation/Tribe
    If you are Native/Indigenous, when the 'Create Account' screen asks 'Why do you want to join?' please list your Native/Indigenous Nation/Tribe. That is all we need. Anything else or less specific may not get approved.
  6. OR - list why you want to join
    If you are non-Native/Indigenous, when the 'Create Account' screen asks 'Why do you want to join?', yes it's awkward but please list reasons or other Fediverse account(s) to help the moderators approve your account. That is all we need. Anything else or less specific may not get approved.
  7. Check your spam folder for confirming emails
    Be sure to check your spam folder for confirming emails. Thanks for giving TurtleIsland.social a spin!
