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 can try tech.lgbt and maybe kolektiva.social

@heyjovo - would you have any to recommend?

@poppacalypse @rdp sorry for the delayed reply, I don’t have any to add beyond what’s already in the thread, but one way your friend might evaluate potential servers is to look at their instance’s code of conduct and blocklist—if they share them anywhere. You can learn a lot by what people prioritize in terms of moderation, and it would be a good sign if they explicitly block known transphobic servers.
