What is Mania Systems? Who is this instance for?
Mania Systems a retro-futurist themed community for independent, underground, and non-traditional artists and creatives who want to share their work, meet each other, and collaborate, all in a safe space.
We specifically try to build for the intersections of being queer, being chronically ill or disabled, being neuroatypical, and being mixed-race or brown - because that's who we are. Pretty much everyone is welcome (subject to our code of conduct), but we prioritise the safety and comfort of our communities.What do you mean, nontraditional artists and creatives?
For example:
- Any artists or creatives working outside academia or "formal institutions"
- Underground & indie zines and zinemakers
- Writers working outside academia
- Street artists
- Anyone fusing art and technology (e.g. code-as-art, digital music, etc)
- Found artists
- Anyone who's had to ask if their art counts as art
As long as you keep this space safe & respectful, you're welcome here.
Take a look at the website for more information. There's also a number of other apps and platforms run here.
Keeping safe & respectful
Respect people.
Harassment will not be tolerated, oppressive behavior will not be tolerated, and while failure to recognize the boundaries of others may be met at first with a gentle attempt to educate you, repeated failure will not be tolerated.
Use our platform, don't frack it.
No brands, no marketing, no data-miners. You're here to use it for its social function, not to exploit it for some other purpose.
Leave your shit at the door.
There's nothing interesting about homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, ableism or any of the other unexamined default settings some people grow up with. Being a nazi isn't non-traditional, it's shitty and aggressively boring - take it somewhere else. You can feel free to disagree somewhere else where none of us have to hear you. Enforced strictly.
