Please suggest: instances with non-white admins or mods
I would like to be able to make recommendations to BIPOC who have been scared off by the (non)moderation of mastodon.social and some of the other bigger instances.
If you know of an instance where there are non-white people who are doing the moderation (and also that the moderation is good) please let me know.
Thank you, comrades! <3
mastodon getting mainstream coverage has been such an intense demonstration of that effect where you only realize that the news is completely, outrageously wrong about the most basic shit when it talks about something you're actually familiar with
This is hilarious… somebody just submitted two Get In The Car Loser speedrun to speedrun dot com, one "No DLC" and one "Any%" and somehow the run WITH DLC is over twenty minutes faster despite doing the DLC chapter. Christine intuited they must use DLC-chapter items to construct a broken build, so she skipped forward to when they buy the DLC items and now is just screeching "they're equipping WHAT?!" at almost everything they equip
Looking for an open server, or just want to check out what is going on?
Here is an updated listing of Mastodon instances with over 10,000 users >>>

This is not to suggest that smaller instances are bad. In fact many smaller instance are dealing with the wave of new migrants from the #birdsite better than some larger instances. For a complete list of instances check out >>> https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/list

HEY HEY FRENZ on mastodon.social! You may want to MOVE to a new instance, very soon.
Why?
Mastodon is a bunch of islands that can talk to each other. The smaller and more spread out we are, the easier things are to moderate. Horizontal scaling FTW!
All of you who fled that one site 🐤 ended up at mastodon.social for likely a few reasons. It was obvious, it was big, and it's where you saw a bunch of folks going.
But it has a long history of being poorly moderated, which means a LOT of instances are silencing or blocking it. Which means you're on the big island that SEEMS like it's "where everyone is", but in fact, it's a giant island unto itself (momentarily trending toward turning into a post-bird-site echo chamber), and huge swaths of the Fediverse don't talk to it, or even see it.
If you want the quality of interaction (and moderation!) Mastodon is known for, move thy funky buns to a smaller instance of cool folks you enjoy. ![]()
Completed Ref Sheet! (Updated!)
Aaah, it's finished!
This is my cryptid, Quest! They're a shapeshifting alien called Amphimorpho, an open species created by Tuxedo Dragon. They're also the artist for this ref!
You can find Tuxedo Dragon on Tumblr!

You can find out more about the Amphimorpho species here!
Update 10/21/2023: Now with less antennae. The look was cool, but Quest has felt a lot more 'me' without them!
Update 4/11/2024: Tux is now on Mastodon! @tuxedodragon
