# Content Policy
### How is screencapped/linked content in BLOCKchain used?
**It is used to demonstrate what kinds of content or actions an instance finds acceptable.** It is not to suggest that they are the only instances of that kind of behaviour or that kind of content on that instance.
Sometimes content is not shown, because it is either illegal, or it is to protect a victim of abuse.
### What if I posted something that you screencapped and I don't want it on your list anymore?
I will only be willing to take it off if you're not directly an individual BLOCKchain is making an example of.
ie.
- You were the receipient of abuse/harrassment, not the instigator.
- You were a person who made a post that was boosted, and I used the fact that someone else boosted it to prove a point about the administration admitting to a particular behaviour or set of actions, but your post in itself was not harmful.
If you are one of these groups of people, you can DM [@blockchain@monsterpit.net](https://monsterpit.net/@blockchain) and I will gladly remove it.
If you have made a harmful or violent post or otherwise are an example of your instance's acceptance of those kinds of behaviours, you will not be taken off the example content.
### What if it has been a long time?
An individual drastically changing belief systems and behaviours (to the point they would formerly be on BLOCKchain but not at a later point in time) generally takes a long time, if it happens at all. Especially if they are a member of a particular social group, religious sect, hate group or cult.
I have no interest in holding someone up to behaviour they did years ago, but BLOCKchain is comparatively very young to that kind of time frame. This is something that will definitely be considered as time goes on.

[**You can find the new list here.**](list/list.md)
A more convenient list with linked summaries breaking down examples of hateful discourse within the listed instances when it occurs. Also has a better, tighter editorial style. **This is in development and not complete.** When it is finished, it will be replacing the old one.

I was accepting issues on this GitHub, but there were too many people who either didn't care about why they were blocklisted and just wanted to poison the atmosphere or who weren't willing to actually directly address why they were blocked in the first place and I don't really have the time or energy to deal with that.
I made [an FAQ](http://telegra.ph/MastodonOStatus-Instance-Blocking-FAQ-06-24) a while back that tries to address some of the common issues some people have with blocklists. It doesn't necessarily cover everything, but it might help.
