This isn't unique to our platforms, however as a relatively new and small community, we still face this issue a lot more than more established sites. The purpose of this blog is to promote and highlight creators who create thought-provoking and substantive content and aggregate them into one place where potential fans can find them.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>What constitutes "substantive content?"</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Substantive content is consisted of four parts: quality, consistency, novelty, and derivability.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><em>Quality</em> refers to both presentation and the actual meat of the content. Does your work reflect both professionalism and effort on your part?</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><em>Consistency</em> refers to the ability to upkeep the level of content, more specifically in terms of density as opposed to time. Ultimately, a page that is consisted of high quality content spread across gaps of multiple months comes off as more consistent than a page that finds its quality content drowned out by frequent, thoughtless content.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><em>Novelty</em> refers to its place in the FediVerse as a whole. Does this need to exist? Does it fill a niche that has not been extensively tapped or bring something new to an existing genre?</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><em>Derivability</em> refers to how the audience is able to interact with the work itself. Is there room for inspiration? Can people build off of this idea to help the community as a whole?</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>What platforms are accepted?</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<ul>

<p><br></p>
<p>Exceptions may be made for Matrix rooms and Mastodon accounts on occasion, however they must demonstrate the four characteristics of substantive content; for example, a personal Mastodon would not be accepted, but a Mastodon created for the purpose of an ARG might be.</p>

<p><strong>What will the reviews look like?</strong></p>
<p>Reviews will mostly comprise of a brief overview, followed by the creator's statements (if they are available for contact), and my own thoughts as an audience member. I do not intend to score anything, just stir conversation and provide links.</p>
<p><strong>Can I submit others' content for review?</strong></p>
<p>Yes you can as long as the content is being hosted by them. This means you can recommend a content creator you like, however you cannot re-host others' work or pass it off as your own.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>Where can I submit content?</strong></p>
<p>DM me at tomat0@mastodon.social. If you are suggesting someone else's self-hosted work, please also include their contact information in your DM.</p>
