COMMUNITY RULES
We don't allow any content that is illegal in the United States of America, the jurisdiction where we are located.
We don't allow pornography or piracy. There are other places for that.
We don't allow excessive uploads. Please be mindful of of our server's resources.
Even if the laws of other jurisdictions restrict certain speech, XMPP makes it impossible for us to do so. Communication between users is encrypted. We are not able to control the encrypted conversations on this server.
WHY DOES THIS EXIST?
XMPP is an alternative to other messaging services, like Discord, which do not keep your data private.
These companies likely sell the data they mine from the messages you send.
This can be bad for you in multiple ways:
2. Companies are building behavior prediction algorithms, which they plan to use to influence people and politics. Internal leaks from Google have shown they have the intent to do so, and this has implications for our future. By moving your private conversations away from them, it makes it harder for them to have insight into the evolution of your preferences.
3. In the future, governments may utilize tools like social credit scores to silence members of the population. It's not unimaginable that some day your government might deploy AI to read your private messages and use that data to build a score from the content of your previous conversations. Also, communicating regularly with someone else who already has a bad score could be used to lower yours as well, even if you did not say or do anything the government considers wrong. This is ALREADY occurring in some countries.
WHAT ARE OUR MOTIVATIONS?
As a community of non-belligerent game developers who do not seek conflict with any nation, creed, or people, Metahusk beleives the philosophical principles of free speech and artistic expression are values which, if restricted, will eventually stifle creativity.
Although we may have some members who hold less common views, our intent is philosophical, not political, and, as such, we want to make it clear that by running an XMPP server it doesn't mean that we hold or condone any specific political alignments or worldviews that may, or may not, be expressed by a user on the server.
