Virilization Fans or VFans for short is a brand-new instance for transmasculine people and allies.
Registrations are open, so please feel free to apply for an account here.

What can you expect from us?

• VFans does its best to moderate the server from any unwanted content, especially from bigotry towards transmasc people and POC, as those are demographics often neglected by wider Fediverse.
• The instance is co-owned by an Indigenous person and is hosted outside of US and UK jurisdictions (therefore we will not be affected by their legislation)
• As the server uses Akkoma software, you are free to customize the theme of the default front-end (including fonts) to accomodate your disabilities when using our instance.
• We do balance our moderation actions and try not to apply complete defederations unless severe rule violations occur and the remote admins repeatedly refuse to moderate their user(s), and instead opt for limiting the instance or suspending individual users
• We blocked Threads on our instance!

Anything else
If you need help, have questions or feedback, feel free to DM this account. Please do not reach out to individual staff accounts about moderation issues. That allows all of VFans staff to chime in to the conversation and/or pass through if necessary.

would anyone be interested in an instance for **transmasculine** people and allies?
while I know cooltrans.men exists, it wouldn't hurt to have more transmasc spaces on fediverse.
the main difference is that the instance would be federating on an allow-list basis, to minimize the risk of harassment and put less strain on moderation, and would be pivoted towards transmasc artists

if you have any questions/want to volunteer, please let me know
