#findaserver — Public Fediverse posts

Tbh, I'm on a proactively moderated server that has preemptively kept a lot of the worst folks from being able to reach us queers here, and the feedback from a handful of black users here is that #blahajzone has also been generally been harassment free in comparison to other servers they've been on.

Imo, it's actually not to hard as a queer or trans person to find #servers on the #fediverse that will protect you from harassment, but that it is harder to find servers that will also protect indigenous, black, Asian users from racist harassment. And too many queer white folks get a free pass for ignorance tbh, a privilege that many of us have had for far too long.

It's much the same on #Bluesky where I haven't been harassed for being #queer and trans - again there's large communities and plenty of allies - but anti-black racism has been in the spotlight again recently and the devs called out for lagging behind on safety and moderation features that bigots exploit for harassment campaigns.

Far too many fediverse projects are led by men, mostly white men, who are lionised, promoted and financed by another layer of mostly white men. They ultimately get the veto on minority protections.

And now we're nearly at 1000 accounts and it still feels like an oasis from hate. I love that this place exists, our safety is paramount, and that won't change regardless of what other servers do. #trans #fediverse #fediversesafety #calckey #hajkey #findaserver

A big hello and welcome to all the new people who've joined #blahajzone the past couple of days. It's great to have you here!

Our admins are @ada and @supakaity.
Ada leads the front of house and moderation side of Blåhaj Zone, while Kaity leads the back-end and maintains Hajkey for us & a small group of other instances.

Our server runs a fork of Calckey that we call #Hajkey (pron. hi-key). We'll soon be merging our code with #Iceshrimp. A summary of the features unique to Hajkey.

Here's the link to our Community Documents such as our Community Guidelines, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy.

If you're wanting to migrate from a #Mastodon account, here's a step by step instruction guide for moving to Blahaj.zone.

We also have a #Lemmy server available for signups at https://lemmy.blahaj.zone and a #kbin server that's soon to be open, for those looking for #Reddit - like communities. They can also be interacted with from here or other places in the Fediverse.

I'm neither a mod nor admin here, but am happy to help if I can. I've written this about how the five main timelines work and this popular post about #Antennas.

If you haven't already, please take the time to post an #introduction. Here's my #intro here and I've attached a #selfie with #eyecontact

I look forward to getting to know some of you more.

Kind love xx
Jo (she/her/they/them)

@[email protected] I think whatever we become we'll really only have 'succeeded' if #Calckey leads the way with #FediverseSafety ahead of features and scale.

The Calckey I see would
- have a diverse team of folks that has the time to listen to the safety discourses, and the lived experience to know why safety matters, and informs their #development decisions.
- make importing #blocklists or integrating third party #moderation tools easypeasy, so no user finds themselves on an new server that's open to dogpiled by the worst elements of the #Fediverse.
- have robust #accessibility features that are as important to promote as #quoteposts and #MFM.
- have granular user controls for #safety - opt-in & opt-out; and features - like turning down/off MFM when it's overwhelming without a user needing to resort to CSS scripts.
- not really care to be a birdsite or #Mastodon alternative. Let's work to be a better secret third thing, or fourth, or fifth thing.

If we really have to duplicate the big influencer account thing, I'd like to see more non-White, autistic, disabled, queers, and women voices. They're here, but they're often forced to be critics of a newer hegemony. Let's be listening for how can Calckey become the main service of choice for Black, POC and Indigenous women to join, spin up servers, become developers, and have prominent voices on. The rest of the good stuff will follow that.

I think we can do that, but only if we prioritise, and promote minority voices, and do the structural work to support them coming to the service.
