Wikimedia.Social

Wikimedia.Social is the official Mastodon instance for the Wikimedia Foundation.

This instance is managed by the Wikimedia Foundation’s Product & Technology Department and will primarily be used as a space for people to connect and talk about tech related topics. We will also experiment with content about the Wikimedia movement and projects that might be appealing to tech enthusiasts and fans of open-source platforms.

Mastodon Sign up

At the moment, sign-up is open for selected Wikimedia Foundation staff as we examine moderation and other areas. We’ll use these experiments to better understand Mastodon’s use as an outreach platform. Our goal is to eventually open registration for everyone.

Server Rules

Friendly space policy To maintain a harassment-free online space, we enforce the Wikimedia Foundation’s Friendly Space Policy and the Wikimedia movement's Universal Code of Conduct When you join us in conversations on Mastodon or any other social media channel, please respect both.

We do not tolerate any form of harassment, which includes any behavior intended primarily to intimidate, outrage, or upset. We also do not tolerate any behavior where this would reasonably be considered the most likely main outcome. This includes (but is not limited to) offensive comments or imagery related to gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, physical appearance, age, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, national origin, or religion. This also includes insults, threats, and trolling.

Any comments, messages, images, or other communications found in violation by Wikimedia Foundation staff will be hidden or deleted, and offenders may be blocked.
