I have a very dear friend wanting to join Mastodon from elsewhere, but he's hoping for a server that's going to help him stay dialed into his work in #trans   activism. I said I'd put it out there and see if anyone had any recommendations. What say you, Fediverse?

UPDATE: Thank you all so much for your boosts and your advice. Not only was I able to present him with some great suggestions, I got to show him how amazing and welcoming you people are. Y'all are the absolute best.

@rdp I know a few trans people on tech.lgbt - sadly another trans-run server shut down after a hate campaign caused it to get defederated. :-(

There's also chaosfem.tw but that's more targeted as trans feminine people; although it is accepting of all.

@ehurtley @rdp https://tech.lgbt looks online and accepting new accounts. Does the second part of that sentence refer to a different server?

@adamhotep @rdp It does, yes. One I didn’t bother mentioning due to it. (The one in question is still technically online, to give users time to migrate away, it will deactivate in two weeks, hence my not naming it.)

@ehurtley Apologies, that sentence confused me. "Sadly, a different trans-run server is shutting down …" would remove the ambiguity
