We are a cooperatively governed instance, and coordinate the instance across a few different mediums.
We are a cooperatively governed instance, and coordinate the instance across a few different mediums:
 
* A '''Wiki''' (this one!) for documentation, policies, and longer-lived coordinating information like [[Mastodon/Working Groups]]
* '''Loomio''' for making decisions as an instance, and
* '''Discord''' for instantaneous communication within the instance to ask questions, coordinate work, or just chat :)

== Reading ==
 
=== Required ===
 
* [[Mastodon/Bylaws]] - The basic rules of the instance
* [[Mastodon/Code of Conduct]] - All members are required to read and abide by the code of conduct. Using your account indicates that you agree to do so.

To better familiarize yourself with how this instance operates, you may want to also read these pages
 
* [[Mastodon/Governance]] - How decisions are made and the instance is organized
* [[Mastodon/Working Groups]] - Smaller, focused groups that do much of the daily work maintaining the instance. Each working group should have a channel in the discord, and if you'd like to contribute you should go and volunteer there :)
* [[Mastodon/Policies]] - Specific policies that are less durable than the [[Mastodon/Bylaws|Bylaws]] - Everyone can propose policies! See [[Mastodon/Governance#Proposals]].


Beyond that, browse the rest of the [[Mastodon]] pages (eg. in [[:Category:Mastodon]]).
