Well, it's a list of "well maintained/moderated servers

Any server that federates with threads, a product of Meta a company known for their low quality moderation and lack of ethics, is clearly not a well maintained/moderated one.

It's not a new rule. The admin is just applying the sites rules as they are, instead of making exception for threads as many of the techbro admins that are getting their servers excluded have been doing.

I never used brave. I wasn't interested in it since I learned it was chromium and all the crypto stuff.

Why stick to the worse one, though?

The point of federation is that you can create community with people all over it, no matter what software the server they joined is running.

Mastodon being too big to the point that 90% of it users things it's the whole fediverse is not positive nor contributes to create an stable community. Many people coming from twitter run from the fediverse, because they're told there's nothing other than mastodon, which they find hard to use, lacking and extremely toxic.

Misskey, Firefish, Akkoma, GoToSocial, Microblogpub, etc give people other options that may fit their need for/usage of a microblogging platform better than mastodon does, as each (including Mastodon and each of its forks) has it's own "profile"

1- Never join the official instances. They always are too big that are almost impossible to moderate.

2- In which timeline did you see those comments? Because if it was global, it's possible these are unknown servers the admins aren't aware of. (The trending section is global)

Cool things on Firefish/clackey, that Mastodon and most of it forks don't have:

• Quote notes (Misskey and Akkoma, a fork of Pleroma, also have them)

• Antennas. They allow you to add words, tags and accounts to lists and create parallel timelines that you can see whenever you want, without having to follow this accounts

• You can create personalized timelines for certain accounts to appear in.

• It has a drive section where you can upload files.

• Channels. This are public local group that the members of a server can create, join and interact within.

• Private chat groups. Local only.

• Emoji reactions

• Clips. These are collections of notes ("note" is the name post receive in Misskey and Firefish)

You can create multiple clips and manage them by giving a name and description to each. You can also choose to make your clips public to make them available to other users.

• You can create custom web pages. For now they don't federate.

• Customisable (by admin) character limit.

This.

It might be something related to this rule:

The following types of content are explicitly disallowed and will result in revocation of access to the service:

1. Sexual depictions of children

The server admin, might be including minor posting nsfw content under this rule.

Here a list of LGBT+ fediverse servers

Some fediverse groups

• !lesbian@chirp.social
• !lgbtq@chirp.social
• !lgbtqia@a.gup.pe
• !LGBTQ@kbin.social
• !lgbtq_plus@lemmy.blahaj.zone
• !queer@kbin.social

Sexual attraction means you look at someone and think "I'd fvck them"

Romantic attraction means you look at someone's personality and behaviour and think "I wanna date them" or "I wanna be in a romantic relationship with them"

This pact isn't legally binding, but more of a moral "I stand against Meta" thing

Good. There's no place for corporations on the fediverse. Specially not for a corporation like Meta that has shown time after time how dangerous they are.

Do you really think Meta wants to be "one of us", that they plan to be on equal ground as the rest of the already existing instances managed by individuals and not by corporations? Are you that naive?

Whatsapp is so big here that it's not just that everyone uses it, you are practically require, forced, to use Whatsapp.

I hate whatsapp, but they require it at the university if I want to be informed. Doctor appointments are also. via whatsapp.
