hey mastos!! wondering if you can help me out…

what are some MASTODON INSTANCES 🐘 which:

1. were created in the PAST YEAR
2. have either OPEN or APPROVAL-BASED registrations
3. are run by DECENT FOLKS
4. are NOT TECH-THEMED (in word OR action)
5. have at least SOME ENGLISH-language moderators and documentation (multilingualism 🆗!)

reply with any and all that you know!! boosts 🆗!!

me: *starts to get ready*
cat: spend time with me!!
me: *lies down next to cat*
cat: *walks away*
me: *lying on ground*
me, 1hr later: *lying on ground*

you: i've got it!!
you: if everyone just follows THIS SPEC
you: all of our computer communications problems will be solved!!
me:
me: yes but have you considered,
me: nobody ever follows the spec

anyway if for some godawful reason you actually WANT that kind of responsibility and power, the answer is just to become an instance admin, lol

when dogs fall asleep with their tongues hanging out

It's zero secret that Twitter, Vine, Insta were built on the backs of P.O.C. labour. It's zero secret that Masto was built on the backs of queer labour. I'm not talking devving, I'm talking our participation in this space.

That LABOUR was predicated on the lack (or disenfranchisement) of communities and networks locally, on our being deprived normative systems of love and support, directing us into sites of labour where our WORK to find and speak to each other can be captured and commodified.

hey everyone, Noëlle has probably put more time and energy into making mastodon a safe and nurturing place than basically anyone else here, please do what you can to ensure that she is cared for this month and next https://www.gofundme.com/bqbcn-help-me-survive
