Fancy Sandwiches

I'm looking for a new Mastodon server to join. One that will not federate with Meta. Bonus points if it's a community that is oriented towards my interests, which are varied:

- Art: Painting, sketching, etc.
- Nature: Bird watching, nature photography, etc.
- Synthesizers
- Woodworking
- Tech savvy, with a critical eye towards Big Tech, AI, and Crypto(currency)

If you know of a server that would be a good fit please let me know, I'm trying to move my account before Meta launches their app.

Shit escalated today, and I need a new home ASAP. If you have any recommendations please let me know. I love dot art, but they're so heavy handed with blocks (which I respect) that they block a few instances I want to interact with so I can't go there.

@fancysandwiches I’m very happy with how mastodon.art is admin’d. It may not tick all the boxes, but with an inclusive definition of what constitutes art, it does tick many of them, including art, photography, and woodworking. The instance welcomes the whole person and doesn’t demand that we fracture ourselves, posting only what’s relevant to the instance.
