For everyone here: I read there is a shortage of instances run by women admins. I know a few already, but I love to know more. I am one for one, but
https://vis.social/about/more and I thought https://mastodon.art/about/more is one too.
Mine i https://socialserver.science/about/more and is mainly aimed at scientists and scientific visualizers.
Please boost!
vis.social

vis.social is an open social platform for creative people, especially anyone in SciArt, SciComm, data, visualization, creative coding, and related arts and research. English is the common language of the instance.

Mastodon hosted on vis.social
I already blocked several nazi- and terf related instances as a result of this question. Shall I write which ones I blocked here so you can take precautions? And I have added some rules to my server so people know where I stand.
@miekeroth yes please, a starter blocklist would be helpful.

@admin @miekeroth

#fediblock is a good place to check as well

@Underwatersomething @admin ah! Cool, thanks!
@miekeroth @Underwatersomething copying these is quickly going to become unmanageable. I'll write a quick tool to export and import domain blocks for admins.
@admin @Underwatersomething thanks! By the way: one of the known Dutch terfs is on mastodon.social I reported her, her name is Xtine there.
@admin @Underwatersomething she reacted to my toot about what I would block with “you know terf is a slur” 🙄
@miekeroth @Underwatersomething ugh, at least she identified herself, I guess.

@miekeroth @admin

I saw and blocked you also had a Pepe reacting to you earlier in the thread : neglesaks at mstdn dot io

@Underwatersomething @admin ah, thanks. It was a bit too much today. Owerwhelming
@Underwatersomething @admin I didn’t understand his reaction.

@miekeroth

Me neither honestly but I ve become very good at spotting Pepe people :(

@Underwatersomething I can understand completely. On twitter I could sense them a mile away.

Here's the tool to export and import blocklists. It'd be awesome if some more established instances could start sharing theirs: https://github.com/lazorgurl/mblock #MastoAdmin #BlockTheBigots #OpenSource

@admin @Underwatersomething nice! Thank you!
@miekeroth @Underwatersomething working on hosting a register with approved contributors to automate the sharing process.
