Hey Mastodon: which instances would you recommend for queer & trans women and nonbinary folk? (Particularly those admin'd by that demographic)

Thinking about pitching an article to Autostraddle about Mastodon and want to give the readers some instances to check out!

@creatrixtiara off the top of my head there's witches.town, cybre.space, computerfairi.es, glitch.social, vulpine.club, social.wxcafe.net, soc.ialis.me, and icosahedron.website. they all have queer admins and open reg (at least periodically) and they have varying tones, communities, moderation styles, etc. I usually point people I know to join witches.town or cybre.space.

@creatrixtiara it uh does occur to me that 90% of the ones I names are also furry instances >_>

I think the majority of queer admin'd instances are also furry admin'd...

@shel @creatrixtiara

most of these are good recs IME (and some I can't really speak to, I haven't looked at several of them), but of course I'd suggest looking at them all for yourself with the thing upside linked for looking at example tootstreams before you pick the list as such

@shel @creatrixtiara IIRC, the admin of Computer Fairies really loves 80s synthesizers, in case that makes a difference one way or the other
