# Automation Guidelines
These are guidelines to follow when using any form of automation on an account hosted on Programming.Dev ("programming.dev", "we", "us", "our") sites or in communities hosted on the site from federated instances. When using automation within communities on other instances make sure to follow their specific guidelines in addition to these if they exist.
# 🤖 Automation Guidelines
These are guidelines to follow when using any form of automation on an account hosted on Programming.Dev ("programming.dev", "we", "us", "our") sites or in communities hosted on the sites using accounts on federated instances. When using automation within communities on other instances make sure to follow their specific guidelines in addition to these if they exist.
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in the account using the automation being banned from the instance.
> Guidelines marked with (C) can be overriden by community mods while ones marked with (A) can be overriden by a instance admin if they give permission to you.
## 1. General Guidelines
This are guidelines that aren't specific to one form of automation and should be followed regardless of the type of automation you are doing.
### 1.1. Use Mentions as a Prefix
If the automation includes the usage of commands such as help, contact, remindme, generate, etc. it should use the mention of the account as the prefix as opposed to something such as ! or ?. This allows multiple automations to use the same commands without interfering with each other and ensures people are using the one they intended to use.
### 1.2. No Trigger Overlap (C)
Do not make triggers fill the same niche as an already established one in the community you are posting in. For example if theres already a tldr bot posting tldrs for news posts there doesn't need to be a second one in the comments. (Can be overriden by the community mods)
Do not make triggers fill the same niche as an already established one in the community you are posting in. For example if theres already a tldr bot posting tldrs for news posts there doesn't need to be a second one in the comments. (Can be overriden by the community mods if they give you approval)
### 1.3. No Vote Manupulation
Automation should not be used to affect the voting system in the instance. The vote it will automatically do on the accounts own posts are fine but it should not be used to automatically vote on other people's posts or comments.
## 2. Bots
These guidelines are specific to bot usage. This means accounts that exist solely to be automated to do things (tldr bot, remindme bot, reply bots, etc.) or that do specific things without any form of human intervention in the chain
> Examples of things in this category:
>
> - Automatically posting things from an rss feed
> - Automatically generating tldrs of articles posted to a community
> - Automatically posting a link to an alternate frontend for a site when theres a link to the site
### 2.1. Mark Bots as Bots
Bot accounts should be marked that they are a bot using the checkbox in the user settings
### 2.2. Put Contact Info
The owner of the bot and some way to contact them must be in the bot’s bio
### 2.3. Don't Spam (A)
Bots should not spam posts or comments. Automatically making posts or comments is fine but it should not drown out non automation content. When looking at the last 20 posts in a community, at least 75% should be human created (your specific bot should take less than the 25% for bots since other bots exist to share that with). There are some cases where having a community with mostly or only bot content makes sense (e.g. daily programming quotes, a challenge community that auto posts daily challenges from another site) and in that case you should reach out to an instance admin to get it approved (and you should be one of the mods for that community). When admin approved it still should not drown out human posts in the local feed in the instance.
### 2.4. Allow Mods to Opt In (A)
Before using a bot in a community allow the mod to opt in to the bots.
If a bot is deemed to be a well behaving bot that brings net good to the instance it can override this rule as long as it has been approved by an admin. If this happens mods should still be able to opt out of use of your bot.
For sites that are not separated into communities (e.g. the main feed of a microblog), you only need mod permission if the account is hosted on the instance.
## 3. Tools
These guidelines are for tool usage for semi-automated actions or things that don't affect other users.
> [!note]
> Examples of things in this category:
>
> - Scheduling posts
> - Monthly/Weekly repeated thread posts in a community
> - Auto marking posts with certain keywords as read for you (this one is more automated but only affects your own account)
### 3.1. Mark That You Use Automation
As some software doesn't have this built in currently you can just put the information in your bio. This could be something such as "Some actions in this account are automated", "Cyborg account", or "Uses some automation tools". You could also put what specific things you use if you want but it is not required. If the software supports marking an account as a cyborg you can use that instead.
## Do we Make Updates to these Automation Guidelines?
We may update the Automation Guidelines from time to time. When we do the date at the bottom of the page will change to indicate the date of the most recent changes. In addition, clicking on that date will bring you to the commit in the code repository that shows who edited it, and what was changed. If we make changes we may notify you by posting a notice of such changes in our meta community on the programming.dev site, in the updates account on the bytes.programming.dev site, in the news community in our discord server, and in the news community in our matrix server. We encourage you to review the Automation Guidelines periodically for any modifications.

# 🌍 Defederation Policy
This document details how Programming.Dev ("programming.dev", "we", "us", "our") choose to defederate with other instances. If an instance wishes to be federated and thus have their content show on our sites they must abide by the policy and ensure they do not do one of the actions in the how an instance gets defederated section.
## What is Defederation?
Our sites are federated with other instances. Instances are essentially sites but that are instances of federated software. This means that content posted on our sites is visible from other sites and we get content from other sites to interact with on our sites. Someone in a federated forum about cars may browse programming posts on their cars site and comment from there and we may do the same to them.
Defederating from a instance:
- Makes users from our sites not be able to see things such as posts and comments from users on that instance.
- Makes users from that instance no longer be able to interact with communities or users on our sites in a way thats visible outside of their instance.
## How does an instance get defederated?
- Instances may be defederated if they break our [Code of Conduct](https://legal.programming.dev/docs/code-of-conduct) whether though encouraging something we disallow or not moderating users that break it.
- Instances that have no active administrators may be defederated.
- Instances that have a lack of security that is not addressed and that puts our users at risk may be defederated. This includes things like having a sign up process that does not stop bots from mass creating accounts.
- Instances that have defederated from us may be defederated to prevent one way conversations where we get content from the other instance but users commenting on that content get no response.
## Defederated Instances
This is a list of all of the instances we have currently defederated and the reasoning for them:
Forums & Link Aggregators
```
burggit.moe - Lolicon, Shotacon, & Ignoring DMCA requests
hexbear.net - Not on allowlist
kbin.cafe - CSAM
mujico.org - Racism
rqd2.net - Pedophilia, Zoophilia, & Biastophilia
```
Microblogs
```
13bells.com - Hate Speech, Homophobia & Transphobia
1611.social - Hate Speech, Homophobia & Racism
4aem.com - Antisemitism
5dollah.click - Racism
more to be added here. Full list is visible on fediseer or our site federation tab if it exists
```
## Defederation Appeals
If you are the admin of an instance we have defederated, you wish to reverse the defederation, and you follow our [Code of Conduct](https://legal.programming.dev/docs/code-of-conduct) contact us as info@programming.dev.
## Are Updates Made to this Defederation Policy?
We may update the Defederation Policy from time to time. When we do the date at the bottom of the page will change to indicate the date of the most recent changes. In addition, clicking on that date will bring you to the commit in the code repository that shows who edited it, and what was changed.

# Moderator Guidelines
# 🏡 Moderator Guidelines
These moderator guidelines detail expected conduct when moderating a community in one of the Programming.Dev ("programming.dev", "we", "us", "our") sites.
## 1. Respect the Code of Conduct
When moderating your community you may make specific rules and guidelines for people to follow. These should not override anything provided in the Code of Conduct or related guidelines linked within it.
## 2. Be Active
As a moderator of a community it is expected that you will be active on the site the community is on so that you may moderate properly. If you have been inactive (without a provided reason) for two weeks and are the primary mod in a community, other moderators may request the primary moderator position. We will attempt to reach out for a response for the next week and if none is provided the transfer to the new primary mod will be done. If all mods of a community have been inactive for two weeks and someone else has requested ownership of the community we will attempt to reach out for a response for the next week from the mod team and if none is provided the community will be transfered or the new user will be added onto the mod team.
## 3. Handle Reports
If a user reports content in your community that breaks community rules or the Code of Conduct it is expected that you will handle that and then after doing so mark the report as resolved to clear it from the queue.
## 4. Community Wiki
You may have a community wiki for your community on the https://wiki.programming.dev site if you wish to easily have documents of information for users to view. To have one need to make a pull request with the content you want to add to the source repository. The wiki must follow our Code of Conduct and you may be reached out to if another user wants to add changes to the wiki so that you may approve them.

Please keep in mind that operators of our services and any receiving services may view direct messages and that recipients may screenshot, copy, or otherwise re-share them so it is recommended to not share any sensitive information.
**IPs and Other Metadata:**
- When you log in, we may record the IP address you logged in from, the time and date you logged in at, as well as the name of your browser application. We also have server logs which include the IP address of every request to our server.
- Image embedded metadata [(Exif data)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif), on images hosted on our services are scrubbed/erased.
- Your IP address and email remains private to our services. However, due to the nature of federated services, all of your engagement (profile, posts, comments, messages, votes, etc.) on our services should be considered public and you are responsible for taking appropriate precautions in how you interact with our services. It is highly recommended that you do not share any publicly identifying information on our sites, products, or services.
## How do we Protect Your Information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. Among other things, your browser session, as well as the traffic between your applications and the API, are secured with SSL, and your password is hashed using a strong one-way algorithm. You may also enable two factor authentication to further protect your account.
## What is our Data Retention Policy?
We will make a good faith effort to:
- Retain server logs containing the IP address of all requests to this server, in so far as such logs are kept, no more than 1 day.
- Retain the IP addresses and name of your browser application associated with logins for no more than 1 day.
- Retain server logs containing the IP address of all requests to this server, in so far as such logs are kept, no more than 7 days.
- Retain the IP addresses and name of your browser application associated with logins for no more than 7 days.
You may irreversibly delete your account at any time. However, this does not guarantee all instances will be notified or respect the deletion of your public data.
