Some ground rules.

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

1. Do not post anything that would violate Dutch law.
   According to the Dutch constitution, Article 7: 1. No one shall require prior permission to publish thoughts or opinions through the press, without prejudice to the responsibility of every person under the law. 2. Rules concerning radio and television shall be laid down by Act of Parliament. There shall be no prior supervision of the content of a radio or television broadcast. 3. No one shall be required to submit thoughts or opinions for prior approval in order to disseminate them by means other than those mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, without prejudice to the responsibility of every person under the law. The holding of performances open to persons younger than sixteen years of age may be regulated by Act of Parliament in order to protect good morals. 4. The preceding paragraphs do not apply to commercial advertising. Further, Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights states: 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises. 2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
2. Don't be a jerk. Hate speech, discrimination, harassment, or oppression of members of marginalized groups of any kind is not tolerated.
3. If users post adult content, it must be marked with an appropriate Content Warning. The poster must have explicit written or verbal consent of everyone in the media.
4. No spam. No automated advertising of any kind.
5. Respect the privacy of our users. Explicit consent is required before performing privacy-violating activities.
6. Abusive fediverse servers will be suspended from federation with nautical.social.
7. No stalking, mobbing, deadnaming, misgendering, and no contacting users who have made it clear they do not wish to be contacted.
8. No right or alt-right bullshit, Nazi content, or conspiracy narratives.
