We just blocked several instances that host very transphobic accounts and/or don't moderate harassment.
We try to keep up with the #fediblock hashtag, but don't hesitate to ping us if something slips by unnoticed! The list of blocked and silenced instances can be found here: https://fandom.garden/about/more#unavailable-content
Let me introduce myself!
I'm a 32 year old transgender man, living in New Mexico.
I love video games, books, anime, and paleontology. Plus I'm really into true crime stories.
So basically I'll post mostly what I'm currently interested in and my existential dread.

question about animated emojis (from an instance admin)
Hi all,
We want to make sure the emojis we use on the instance don't cause problems to people that are sensitive to flashing lights or sudden motions.
The way we are planning to do this is: for each animated emoji we have, we post it under a content warning (for instance "animated emoji, rapid changes in color"), and then reply to the toot with a poll with three possible answers:
Would this be a good way to get answers? Do you have suggestions for a better way to do this? We're all ears!
Hiya peoples - time for an #introduction
I'm Kara, a writer + musician + tech worker. Fandoms-wise, the biggest thing in my life by a huge margin is Love Live, and I will definitely not shut up about it. I am total and irredeemable idol trash. I'm also a Star Trek girl. Some of my other most-beloved anime include "Revue Starlight," "Hyouka," "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions," "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun," and "Zombieland Saga."
I play keyboards, and I'm currently writing a Love Live fan fic that will be entirely too long (the first installment is novel-length). In my day job, I keep servers running.
hello, i wanted to make a lil introduction post as my first one here :) i'm muumibee and i recently made the switch to mastodon because i wanted to find more personalized communities n stuff.
i read a ton of books and binge shows when i'm not doing work for grad school. i also do lots of pixel art and like to play slow paced video games like SDV and such. i love to rant and rave about whatever show i'm watching, book i'm reading, game i'm playing, etc. and can't wait to just have a space to info dump!
anyways, let's be pals :) tell me about your favorite show/movie/book/game/etc.!!!
Introduction post
Hello! I’m a white queer in my early thirties living on the unceded land of the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) nation, in what is largely known as Canada.
Hobbies I’ve picked up since the Before Times: writing fic, book/ficbinding, cross stitching, drawing, language studies (ASL & Dutch). Probably something else I’ve forgotten.
In meatspace, I’m in Summer Limbo Mode, waiting to start my #MLIS degree in the Fall. I’m both excited and utterly terrified. I am so ready to go back to in-person learning. My #ActuallyADHD brain does not get along with the online learning format.
I’ve got two dorky cats in their early senior years, two parents just shy of their senior years, and a lovely partner and metamour.
Nice to meet you!
FediBlock
#FediBlock pleroma.viridianpatriots.com
Federates with blocked instances (poast, rdrama…) and admin follows people from these instances.
sobs I haven't looked at the FediBlock* hashtag for a week and there are 14 new posts on there 😩
*the FediBlock hashtag is used by admins, or anyone really, to warn other instance users from bad users/servers. You usually don't have to go look at the hashtag, we're blocking everything that's reported there.
fediblock
#FediBlock beefyboys.win and its alias beefyboys.club, an instance that hosts harrassers.
Hello FanDen! I'm Rob, and I'm a newly-minted #Eurovision fan 👋🏻
When I'm not obsessing about ESC, I'm into knitting and Pokemon. I'll mainly be posting about Eurovision, and maybe some Pokemon stuff as we get closer to Scarlet/Violet being released later in the year.
FediBlock
#FediBlock birds.garden
Single-user instance where the admin disapproves of fediblock, links to freespeechextremist, also interacts with known nazi/racist instances.
Transphobia, #FediBlock
Hey everyone,
I recommend blocking mint@eientei dot org
In this user's bio, you can see this specific transphobic message: tranny "people" are my pain.
Take care, stay safe!
#FediBlock friendica.eskimo.com
"Censorship-free" instance, admin is a conspiracy theorist (antivax, denies global warming, etc).
Yes it is I, the admin who told the moderation team that going through the block advice list was "a break from work" 🤓
(it "only" took me 30 minutes to update our block list with the latest reports)

The banner is a drawing of a desk full of a lot of stuff: a computer, books, headphones, plants, more books, queer flags… It was drawn by the amazing @kaerhon.
