It applies to\n**this server only**.\n\nKowloon is free, open-source software that anyone may download and run. Other\nKowloon servers are operated by other people, under their own rules.

Your account\n\nYou must be **at least 13 years old** to hold an account here. If you are\nunder the age of digital consent where you live, you may need a parent or\nguardian's permission.\n\nYou are responsible for keeping your password secure and for everything done\nthrough your account.\n\n## 3.

Content published by others\n\nWe do not pre-screen content. Anything posted here is the responsibility of\nthe person who posted it, not of the operator.\n\nIf you believe something here breaks the rules or the law, report it in the\napp, or contact jzellis@gmail.com.\n\n## 5. Federation: posts leave this server and cannot be recalled\n\nKowloon servers exchange content with each other. When you publish something\naddressed publicly, or to people on other Kowloon servers, **copies are sent\nto those servers and stored there.**\n\nDeleting a post here asks other servers to delete their copies, and well-behaved\nones will. **We cannot guarantee it.** Nor can we stop anyone from screenshotting\nor re-posting your content. Please treat anything you publish as potentially\npermanent and potentially public.\n\nKowloon federates with **other Kowloon servers only**. It does not currently\nconnect to Mastodon or other ActivityPub networks.\n\n## 6. Moderation and suspension\n\nWe may remove content or suspend accounts that break these terms or the\ncommunity rules, at our discretion. Where it is practical and appropriate we\nwill explain why, but we are not obliged to.\n\nYou may delete your own account at any time from Settings.
