Hello lovely people! I was so happy that we have an instance for disabled folk, I came right over and made an account!

I live in Oregon with my family, and I've got fibro and MECFS, as well as ADHD and panic disorder. I like to joke I have the nervous system of a small woodland creature.

I'm here to connect with folks, but likely most of my posting will still happen on my main account: @hollie

HEY HEY FRENZ on mastodon.social! You may want to MOVE to a new instance, very soon.

Why?  

Mastodon is a bunch of islands that can talk to each other. The smaller and more spread out we are, the easier things are to moderate. Horizontal scaling FTW!

All of you who fled that one site 🐤 ended up at mastodon.social for likely a few reasons. It was obvious, it was big, and it's where you saw a bunch of folks going.

But it has a long history of being poorly moderated, which means a LOT of instances are silencing or blocking it. Which means you're on the big island that SEEMS like it's "where everyone is", but in fact, it's a giant island unto itself (momentarily trending toward turning into a post-bird-site echo chamber), and huge swaths of the Fediverse don't talk to it, or even see it.

If you want the quality of interaction (and moderation!) Mastodon is known for, move thy funky buns to a smaller instance of cool folks you enjoy.

Yay, we have an instance for disabled folks, this is so cool! I'm Hollie (she/her), I just wrote my bio for the profile page, but I'll toss in some interests here:
