# Introduction
- -- Hello! This is the - ari.lt XMPP server's home - page. For those who are unaware - - XMPP - (Website: - https://xmpp.org/) is a - decentralized, federated messaging protocol, and it's a - nice simple, and easy to use messaging protocol, and i - have set up a - Prosody - server with the help of some friends, of which you can - find the source configuration - (source code is unchanged) at - https://ari.lt/lh/xmpp.ari.lt. This document defines this server's limits, data - processing, compliance, and main focuses of it: - democracy, freedom (free speech: see - "Freeze peach"), and privacy. - Please take the time to read it and get familiar with - all of the rules, conditions and processes. -
-# Registration
- -- The server is not open registration in a way - where you can just sign up at your own will instantly - - as to prevent spam, "alt" (alternative account) spam, - ban evasion, and attacks. So to say -- to provide a - smooth experience for people using this server. If - you want an account on this server (as in you want a - XMPP account on ari.lt and - your JID (Jabber ID, username) will appear as - your_username@ari.lt) you have to contact one of the - administrators - through one of the following - contacts - and make sure to read - the notice below: -

- To reset your account's password, you need to contact one - of the - administrators - through one of the following - contacts listed above. -
- -- Before contacting, please read - Privacy, - Guidelines, and - Termination sections, and - make sure, whenever you contact me for an account, - you add - this consent statement - to your request: -
- --- -- - I have read the Privacy and Termination - policies, along with the Guidelines of the - ari.lt - server located on the - https://ari.lt/page/xmpp - page and I understand and consent to the - policies and statements written in that - document. - -
-
- In the request, send me the desired and not taken - username that you want. Also, optionally, specify - the reason of - why you want to join this server, though - it is just novelty and not required. If the username - is taken - I will notify you. If not - I will create - your account and respond with your temporary - password, which I highlighy suggest changing - on login. -
- -- All of this is done to prevent future confusion and - accusations that may or may not happen, speed up the - account creation process, and to note that I (the - owner of this server) - do not (don't) take any accountability, - responsibility, or repercussions for the users of - this server (ari.lt), their actions, and the resulting consequences. -
-- # "Freeze peach" (free speech) -
- -- Just because this server is focused on freedom and - democracy, this does not mean total anarchy and zero - control. Many people nowadays misinterpret "free speech" - as total anarchy: allowing hate speech, spam, no banning - or termination, no warnings, etc. This is not this type - of server. I have seen way too many of those and I - am tired of such servers. For this server human - decency is a must and there's no way around that, - Guidelines - go more in-depth on this. -
- -Please be a decent human.
