Host @host@tabletop.social

Also it is a fabulous tool.

You can add them/remove them/change them on every toot.

You can make jokes.

You can give your toot context.

You can tell it is a thread, or where you are in a thread.

You can derail a thread and give the original poster a chance to not read your ramblings.

You can tell secrets, only interested people will hear.

Use them, use them a lot.

If you think about 'does this need a CW', then it does.

Things you dont want to show to your kids, your mom, your sister in law, they need CW.

Things that are a phobia, food, blood, body horror, heavy topic, politics, death, health related stuff, upsetting story, they need a CW.

This is also not a 'maybe'.
To keep the place nice, we all need to make an effort.
We need to be deliberate about giving people a chance to opt in on those topic.

Thanks

Hello Fediverse,

We are a small, new, specialised mastodon instance.
We hope to be another safe and welcoming place for both new comers and existing mastodon users.

This is our #introduction thread.

we also blocked accela.online

We have blocked the following instance and domains:
Kiwifarms.cc
kiwifarms.net
kiwifarms.is

In case you wonder why https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms
CW: harassment , doxxing, ableism etc. don't look if you are low on spoons

We blocked a lot of instances, including the new Gab ones, the ones that are free speech zone and the one that know nazis are bad, but it is still ok to federate with.

Oh and the one that are made as a joke to federate with gab,

That include big ones like mstdn,io and lots of pleroma with 5 users on it.

we are working on making the list more transparent and hopefully have that available to look at.

Here at the table we don't have the patience to listen to entitled people that find our existence outside of their norm is an annoyance.

fosstodon.org has been blocked

We had a bit of a back log of instance to block.
It took us a bit of time to get round to do them, but we are finally up to date.
(See the screenshot of the 24 new instances we blocked)

There are your usual freespeach activist, your nazi, your terf, your kin hater, etc. they can all trebuchet themselves to the sun.

Every admin that come and whine about free speech will see their instance blocked, thank you.

(kudos to all the other admins doing the hard work)

We would advise people to stop using fedilab (and more) as they are fine enabling fascist.
