These content policies apply to content posted on Moth.social. They do not apply to the Mammoth app, except insofar as Mammoth is used to create content for Moth.social. Please note that Moth.social is a fediverse server. Like most Mastodon and ActivityPub hosts, The BLVD Inc. maintains a block list of servers it does not “federate”. Except for blocked servers, content from other Mastodon or ActivityPub instances is made available to Moth.social and Mastodon users.

In general, these Content Policies also apply to content posted elsewhere on the fediverse, but note:

• We cannot delete the source posts or disable user accounts from elsewhere on the fediverse. We can block such remote accounts for all moth.social users or delete a post from our server, but that account and that post will still exist elsewhere on the fediverse
• We will not block or moderate sexually explicit media coming from other servers as long as it is marked as Sensitive and/or has a Content Warning, and does not violate any other provisions of these Content Policies

1. Copyright

How to submit a copyright notice

The BLVD, Inc. will respond to takedown requests that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that content shared on the Moth.social server infringes a copyright owned by you, or by someone that you legally represent, you may submit a takedown notice by sending email to [email protected].

What happens next?

Filing a DMCA notice will commence a structured process. Your complaint will be reviewed for accuracy, validity, and completeness. If any of the required DMCA elements are missing, we will be unable to process your takedown request.

If your complaint appears to satisfy the requirements and we remove the material in question, we will notify the affected user, and provide them with a copy of your complaint (which may include your personal information that is contained there). If you do not wish to have your information shared, you may wish to consider having an agent submit the complaint on your behalf. We will also provide the user with information about how to file a counter-notice, if they wish to contest your claims.

If we remove material from Moth.social in response to your infringement notice, you will receive confirmation that the material has been removed. If we decide not to act on your infringement report, you also will receive a notification of that decision.

The BLVD, Inc. has a policy of terminating access for accounts that are repeat infringers.

What can I do if I think my content should not have been removed?

If something you shared was removed due to a mistake or misidentification by the copyright owner, you can file a DMCA counter-notice by sending email to [email protected].
