#queerspark — Public Fediverse posts

One of the #XMPP communities I'm part of is Queer Spark: https://www.queer-spark.org/

Apart from a general channel and an #LGBTQIA+ channel, it also has channels for #food, #music, #art, #films and series, #makeup and appearance, #history and learning, politics and activism, #gaming, #magic, and #conlangs. There's also a dedicated tech channel. (We try to avoid tech talk in other channels, to be inclusive of nontechnical members.) Some channels are invite-only, like the adults-only channel or the peer support channel. Check out the QS English community index for the full list.

QS is a peer-governed community. Decision-making happens in the "Assembly" channel, which anyone can join. Check out the governance document and the code of conduct too.

Apart from the English-language communities, there are also #French and #Spanish language spaces. You're welcome to start and moderate spaces for more languages, and to add new translations to the website.

You can request an XMPP account on Queer Spark itself, or use your existing XMPP account to join.

If you're new to XMPP and want to join a sustainable network that helps you break out of monopolist services like #Discord and #Telegram, here's a user's guide for you: https://xmpp-guide.codeberg.page/

QS relies on the community's donations, so pitch in and support the volunteers!
