miniblogrModeration policy
Effective July 4, 2026 · applies only to the seed registry at registry.miniblogr.com
The short version: we curate one directory, not the network. Delisting a blog from our registry does not touch the blog, its server, its readers, or its listings anywhere else. If you disagree with our choices, the app lets you leave our registry and the software lets you run your own.
What our registry is
miniblogr blogs live on servers their owners run. Registries are optional, community-run directories that help people find blogs; the app can use several at once, and ours is just the one that ships as a default so discovery works out of the box. It carries no other authority.
What delisting does, and does not do
- A delisted blog no longer appears in browse or search results served by registry.miniblogr.com.
- The blog itself keeps running. Its readers keep it in their feeds. Anyone with the address can still follow it. Its listings on other registries are unaffected.
- We cannot remove content from any blog, and we never see a blog's drafts, backups, or server credentials.
What we delist
- Spam: listings that exist to manipulate discovery rather than to be read.
- Illegal content and serious abuse: blogs whose listed content is unlawful, or that exist to harass, threaten, or dox people.
- Impersonation: listings that misrepresent who is behind a blog to deceive readers.
We do not delist blogs for having opinions we disagree with. A boring directory that people can trust beats an exciting one that reflects our tastes.
Unreachable blogs age out automatically
The registry re-checks every listed blog's ownership file on a daily sweep. A blog that is unreachable for three consecutive daily checks is hidden from listings automatically, with no judgment call involved, and it relists automatically the moment it is reachable again. Nothing is deleted either way.
How reports work
Every listing in the app's Discover screen has a Report action. Reports go into a queue that a human reviews; they are never acted on automatically, so reporting a blog many times does not delist it. Acting on a report is always a deliberate operator decision under the rules above.
If your blog was delisted
If your blog lapsed because it was unreachable, publish again (or fix your hosting) and it relists on the next sweep, or immediately if you re-run verification from the app. If we delisted your blog under the rules above and you think we got it wrong, open an issue on the project's GitHub repository and a human will look again.
The escape hatch is the point
The registry software is open source and runs anywhere a small Go binary runs. Anyone can operate a registry with different rules, and the app treats it as a peer of ours: add it under Discover → Manage, remove ours if you like. Our moderation power ends at the edge of our own directory, by design.
