To all Nudie.Social members: When posting a Public, Unlisted, or Followers-Only post, you are required to put a CW line for all sensitive content, including, but not limited to, nudity.
Here are some examples of concise CW lines:
current affair
eye contact
mention of death
naturist activities
nudity
tv show/movie spoilers
uspol
(pol is the shorthand for politics)
See below screenshot with the Public (globe icon), Unlisted (unlocked padlock icon), and Followers-Only (locked padlock icon) selections highlighted:
Attention: Repeated failure to apply CW line for nudity or other sensitive content may result in account suspension or ban.
For reference, Mastodon User Guide has a good introduction of Content Warnings
Content Warning Exceptions
When posting nude content in a Direct Message (envelope icon) or Local-only (people icon) post, CW is optional.
Regardless of posting option, CW is highly recommended for other sensitive topics, e.g. politics, spoilers, etc.
Side note: Using #naturism , #nudism , #FKK
or related hashtags is highly recommended for Public, Unlisted posts. Hashtags help other Fediverse users to discover posts easily.
Expected Behaviour
The following behaviours are expected of all visitors, registered members, moderators and administrators of Nudie.Social:
Be Respectful
Value each other's ideas, styles and viewpoints. We may not always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor manners. Be open to different possibilities and to being wrong. Be kind in all interactions and communications, especially when debating the merits of different options. Be aware of your impact and how intense interactions may be affecting people. Be constructive and positive. Take responsibility for your impact and your mistakes - if someone says they have been harmed through your words or actions, listen carefully, apologise sincerely, and correct the behaviour going forward.
Respect the words and actions of the admins and moderators on Nudie.Social. Follow the instructions of the admins and moderators in a timely fashion.
Be Inclusive
Seek diverse perspectives. Diversity of views and of people on teams powers innovation, even if it is not always comfortable. Encourage all voices. Help new perspectives be heard and listen actively. If you find yourself dominating a discussion, it is especially important to step back and encourage other voices to join in. Be aware of how much time is taken up by dominant members of the group. Provide alternative ways to contribute or participate when possible.
Understand Different Perspectives
Our goal should not be to “win” every disagreement or argument. Strive to be an example for inclusive thinking. Step back and chill, when you see a flame war is about to start.
Appreciate and Accommodate Our Similarities and Differences
Nudie.Social members come from many cultures and backgrounds. Cultural differences can encompass everything from official religious observances to personal habits. Be respectful of people with different cultural practices, attitudes and beliefs. Work to eliminate your own biases, prejudices and discriminatory practices. Think of others’ needs from their point of view. Use preferred titles (including pronouns) and the appropriate tone of voice. Respect people’s right to privacy and confidentiality. Be open to learning from and educating others as well as educating yourself; it is unrealistic to expect the registered members of Nudie.Social to know the cultural practices of every ethnic and cultural group, but everyone needs to recognise one’s native culture is only part of positive interactions.

Personal Attacks
Conflicts will inevitably arise, but frustration should never turn into a personal attack. It is not OK to insult, demean or belittle others. Attacking someone for their opinions, beliefs and ideas is not acceptable.
