currently on cybre.space @maunzikation@computerfairi.es

if an @ you want is taken, don't panic! there are hundreds of mastodon instances out there, the username you want is probably available on many of them. You can talk to & follow people across instances, too.

twitter can you please just leave the god damn deck chairs where they are for once

What are the guidelines for opening a thread on the #discourse versus creating an issue for #Mastodon on #GitHub?

If yall know of any people that can assist me in raising funds for a new laptop please do. I'm an art student and the current laptop I have cannot be used next semester. My paypal is here:

Welcome new Mastodon users! Wondering what an "instance" is? Trying to figure out what the deal is with all these 🍍? The answers to these and other burning questions can be found here: https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/FAQ.md

Happy Tooting!

the nice thing about that pawoo music instance is that since mastodon is AGPL you can create your own music instance: https://github.com/pixiv/mastodon/tree/pawoo-music

(continued instances list)

mastodon.art - for posting art

chaos.social - anarchism (i think?) and good content policies

anticapitalist.party - anticapitalist politics, good content policy, invite only

kitty.town - general (cws for politics though) good content policy

glitch.social - experiments with mastodon settings, good content policy

todon.nl - netherlands-based for "progressive people"

i'll update this list with more instances as i get through them later!

i just stayed up all night looking through a third of the complete #instances page so for anyones ref heres some i thought seemed interesting so far:

mastodon.host - one of most federated due to @federationbot

lgbt.io - lgbt focused

queer.town - lgbt focused

social.wxcafe.net - social justice activism & lgbt focused

nog20.social - social activism

tusk.social - general with good content policies
