Community Guidelines

QHDN is a queer leftist space for hobbyist hackers interested in programming, local system administration, and other related topics. It aims to be a friendly community and repository for learning and sharing how to run and maintain your own services, be it for smart home, data storage, media storage, or anything else.

We invite you to get silly with it, but first we need to get some important rules out of the way:

  • Absolutely no bigotry of any kind will be tolerated.
  • Please follow the rules of the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance. This includes not posting any content that might be considered illegal. Discussion of things like piracy is okay, but linking to resources is not. If in doubt, please message the moderators.
  • Whilst this space welcomes everyone, it is an inherently queer, leftist space and the safety of those members comes first. This also isn’t the space to have disagreements about those politics, but to discuss technological ways to ensure privacy and safety.
  • Don’t demean others for asking what you might consider basic questions. Everyone has to start somewhere, and this is a safe space for people of all experience levels. As well, plenty of people have expertise in one area over others.
  • Whilst this isn’t a NSFW community, discussion of NSFW topics related to the community, such as taking back control of your teledildonics, is allowed. But please make sure to tag them appropriately.
  • Most of all, be excellent to each other.

Post Tagging

Blåhaj Lemmy

Blåhaj Lemmy is brought to you by the kind folk at Blåhaj Zone, and while anyone is free to register for an account here, please bear in mind that this is a server that is very protective of our minority members and bigotry of any variety will be squashed with great prejudice.

We have three alternative lemmy frontends

We have a public matrix channel for all Blahaj users at #blahaj:chat.blahaj.zone

We also have a matrix channel for gender diverse folk and our allies! If you’re already a matrix user, you can head straight to our application room https://matrix.to/#/#gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone, or by searching for #gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone from within your matrix client.

If you’re new to matrix, you can find some more details and an instruction video on how to get up and running here https://chat.blahaj.zone/c/genderverse/

Community Guidelines

Blåhaj Lemmy is a space where everyone should feel able to participate safely, and to that end, our community is built on the guiding philosophies of empathy, inclusion and acceptance.

Empathy

We want our community members to be guided by compassion and empathy for others.

Examples of behaviour that are contrary to this philosophy are personal attacks, insults, doxing etc. If your comment is designed to hurt someone, this isn’t the space for it.

Inclusion and Acceptance

Embracing inclusion and acceptance means listening when people tell you who they are and what their needs are. It means not telling people that you know their experiences better than they do. It means not gatekeeping experiences of identities of others. It means no bigotry such as racism, sexism, anti LGBT commentary, ableism etc. It means doing your best to ensure that you don’t over-talk the voices of folk who don’t share your privileges.

Supporting Blåhaj Lemmy

After much hesitation, we have a Ko Fi to enable people to help with supporting some of the running costs associated with our instances.

Providing a safe space for our community is the goal, so please only consider donating if you are in a position to do so without any financial stress.
