+# Hi, welcome to Slowcord!
+
+Slowcord is a heavily modded Fosscord instance. You can browse it's source here: https://github.com/MaddyUnderStars/fosscord-server/tree/slowcord
+
+## Here are some general instance-wide rules:
+* **Harassment, homophobia, transphobia, etc, violence, and hate speech are forbidden.**
+* Behaviour that harms the service - be it malicious/intentional or not - is strictly forbidden. This may include API abuse/spam, exploits, etc.
+* * If you do discover an exploit/bug, it would be greatly appreciated if you could create an issue in the above repo, or DM @MaddyUnderStars#0000.
+* Any content that would be considered illegal in Australia is also forbidden. Additionally, if it is illegal in your own country, it shouldn't be here.
+* Bots/selfbots are allowed. If you would like an account to be given bot status, DM @MaddyUnderStars#0000.
+
+These rules are non-exhaustive, but should give a good idea of what will be enforced.
+
+Permanent Slowcord guild invite: https://slowcord.understars.dev/invite/slowcord
+
+### If a message or user breaks these rules, you can report it here: https://forms.gle/sd6RkdM7gRgJLV368
